J Lo or John Travolta, don't we all wish we had a butt like them? True, the butt is an important and prominent part of your physique and it definitely needs its own type of exercise.
But so many of us are unhappy about the shape of our butt.
For some queer reason or the other, it just does not seem to be right.
Either too big, or too small.
Too flabby or too flat.
With the right combination of cardio and weight training exercises, you can free yourself from this dilemma.
There are a few things you can do to achieve the right kind of butt, but you need to put in a lot of effort.
Good things don't come easy.
Let us look at different types of exercise that can help you get there.

1. Squatting is one of the most appropriate exercises for the lower part of your body that involves the thighs, butt, and the hips.
   You need to stand with your feet apart.
     Then squat keeping your back in a straight line and your knees always behind your toes.
   When you have to stand up, try squeezing or tightening your butt.
   This really helps.
   
2. You can indulge yourself in a few lunges.
   These work well for many different parts of your body like your hamstring, calves, and hips, and also has a positive effect on your butt.
    
3. You need to put your foot on a raised platform and push, putting pressure on your heel.
   Make sure that your knees are bent.
   
4. You can also do hip extensions, as this helps work on the largest muscle in and around the hips.
   Tightening it and making it firm.
   
5. Carrying dead lifts is great for your butt and lower back but avoid this if you have severe back problems.
   
6. Hiking is one of the best overall exercises that you can get.
   Actually burning quite a few calories every hour.
   Climbing up the incline gets you to consume more energy and has your glutes working over time.
   
7. You can choose to use a stationary bike or actually go out on the road.
   This is the fastest way of getting rid of excess calories and also tightening your thigh muscles and butt muscles.
   It is quite a strenuous exercise so make sure you are physically upto it.
   
8. Try running at least 3 times a week.
   This can do wonders for your sagging butt.
   Tighten it and firm it up.
   This can be done whenever you find some free time from your busy schedule.
   
9. Try some kickboxing that involves controlled movements for overall shape the thighs, butt, and hips.
   These spot exercises are a great way of shaping up in the right places.
   

From these types of exercise, one thing is clear that exercise is important to improve the state of your rear end.
Also, I believe that you need to control what you eat, especially fatty foods, as fatty foods have the ability to accumulate more calories in places where you don't need it.
So restrict your intake of high calorie foods and drinks.
If you can't do weight training, then take time to go for a walk or go for a jog down the street.
This will help to keep your muscles in good shape.
Set a schedule and follow the regime at least four times a week.
I am sure that if you persist then it should not be a problem to achieve the right size and the right kind of hard set of buns.
Effort always pays off at the end, and you will be highly pleased when you have the right kind of end.
