How to tone your buttocks
The buttocks are the target muscle
for many exercises and are designed to propel
us forward as in sprinting and to launch us
as in jumping. But they're difficult to train
and many exercises fail to tone this area because
the intensity of the exercise is not enough
to engage the strong fibres of the glutes.
"Pulsing" the leg behind you whilst
on all fours will give you a burn because of
the build-up of lactic acid, but the weight
of your leg alone is too light to strengthen
and tone.
To build up your glutes, you must
include heavier exercises such as the squat
and the deadlift. These are technical lifts
and you should consult with a fitness professional
before you attempt them with anything more than
your bodyweight.
