1/ Shape the butt of your dreams, one crack at a time.
We love a good boot camp course.
Why? Not only do these classes add variety, style, and intensity to your fitness workout routine, they can also be modified to fit any fitness level.
This means that you and your best friend can work out together, regardless of your respective abilities, which is great because working out with a partner has been shown to increase the likelihood of sticking to a routine.
Today's class is a lower body boot-camp workout designed to firm and tone through a three-level training system.
You will be guided through each round from easiest to most difficult, but feel free to adapt to the level that best suits your skills.
As for equipment, all you'll need is a tubular resistance band; an exercise mat is optional.

7/ Our 10 best fitness exercises to tone your buttocks
The difference between a butt of steel and a butt of pants lies in these 10 butt exercises.
We tried them - now it's your turn. Get moving!
Hip Lift Progression
Here's a great way to relieve lower back tension and work your glutes at the same time. (A soft mat will keep your tailbone from crying out afterwards.)
Do this:
- Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, knees bent and feet on the floor.
- Lift your hips toward the ceiling. Hold for one count, then lower back down.
- Repeat the lifts for 60 seconds, squeezing your glutes and hamstrings throughout the range of motion. Be careful not to over-curve your spine.
- To make this exercise more challenging, extend one leg at the top of the lift. Keep your thighs parallel and hold the lifted position for about 5 seconds.
- Keeping your hips lifted, return your foot to the floor, then lower your hips.
Repeat this exercise for 30 seconds; switch sides and do the movement for another 30 seconds on the other leg.
Toe taps
The lowest, loosest part of my butt is getting a good workout from this move. Thank goodness.
Do this:
- Lie on the floor with your arms at your sides.
- Lift your feet, bending both knees 90 degrees so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor.
- Now slowly and silently tap the floor with your left toe, then your right.
- Alternate foot tapping for one minute.
If you feel pain in your lower back, do not bring your toes all the way down.
One Leg Front Raises
Balance! A solid thigh stretch! Glutes squeeze! This is a multi-rewarding move that requires less coordination than you might think.
Do this:
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a 5-pound dumbbell in each hand.
- Bend your right leg and raise it about 10 cm off the floor.
- Extend both arms out in front of you at chest height, palms facing down.
- Keeping your arms straight, raise your left arm overhead and hold for 3 counts, then return to chest height.
- Continue alternating arm lifts until you have done 8 total, 4 reps on each arm.
Now switch legs and do 8 more reps standing on your right leg.
Squat with Kick-Back
You're strong. Your quads and glutes are toned (okay, we're getting there). You won't fall over if you try this powerful move.
Do this:
- Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart.
- Sit in a squat position, bringing your fists close to your chin.
- Then bring your left leg straight behind you while extending your arms forward.
- Return to the squat position, then repeat on the other side.
- Continue alternating sides for one minute.
- When squatting, remember to keep your weight back on your heels.
- As you extend your leg behind you, keep your hips square - don't rotate them to the side.
One Leg Squat with a Towel
This exercise targets the underwear overflow area between the back of your butt and the lower part of your hips. Don't have it? Double scoop for you then, fitness queen.
Do this:
- Stand with your feet together and place your right foot on a folded towel.
- Shifting your weight to your left leg, slowly slide the towel to your right.
- Then slowly return to the starting position.
- Work this side for 30 seconds, keeping your elbows bent and your fists together near your chin.
- When you squat, your left knee should bend between 45 and 90 degrees.
After 30 seconds, switch legs and do the squats and slides for another 30 seconds.
Dumbbell Squats
An easy way to kick off even a quick workout, these squats are small, powerful movements. Over time, increase the reps and weight of the dumbbells to amplify them.
Do this:
- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and placing 8- to 10-pound dumbbells near your thighs.
- Squat down as if you were going to sit down on a chair, keeping your weight on your heels.
- Contract your glutes as you return to the starting position.
Do 15 to 20 repetitions.
- As you continue, keep your weight on your heels, making sure your knees don't extend past your toes.
For a bigger challenge, try it without the weights, jumping explosively and landing in a squat position.
The fold
I'm a fan of simple fitness moves that actually work, and the plié falls into that category: It's as simple to do as it looks, but infinitely more toning than you might think.
Do this:
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed outward.
- Extend your arms straight out in front of you and lower yourself into a squat.
- Come back up and repeat. Go as low as you can into the squat without letting your knees go past your toes.
- Make sure to tuck your tailbone and engage your glutes. Keep your torso straight and don't let your knees go past your toes.
Do this for 1 minute. (After about 40 seconds, take a pulse at the bottom of the squat for 20 seconds).
Explosive lunges
Typically I would shy away from anything involving my butt and explosions, but this move allows me to stretch my glutes while testing my balance, coordination, and patience.
Do this:
- Stand with your feet together and your hands on your hips.
- Then bend forward with your right leg.
- Jump, switch legs mid-air and land with your left leg in a forward lunge.
Continue these explosive lunges, alternating sides, for one minute.
- Keep your fists raised in front of your chin and push off the ground with both feet. Your front knee should be bent 90 degrees and aligned with your ankle.
Sun Salutations
A full-body yoga sequence, sun salutations can be especially beneficial for your butt: As you move from downward dog to lunges and back through chair pose, you'll feel an incredible stretch from your glutes all the way down to your thighs and hamstrings.
Digging clams with rotation
Hips Tight, Go: The outward rotation of the hips in this move is incredible. As for toning your butt (and obliques and shoulders)? Tell us about the day you first tried this exercise.
Do this:
- Lie on your right side with your head supported in the palm of your right hand.
- Bend your knees in front of you at 45 degrees.
- Hold a 5- to 8-pound dumbbell in your left hand and keep your left elbow at your left side.
- Raise your left leg and left arm toward the ceiling to about 90 degrees, keeping your hips aligned without rocking back and keeping your elbow tucked into your side.
- Hold the top position for 2 seconds before returning to the starting point. Repeat for 1 minute, then switch sides.
