Best Butt Workouts: Deadlifts • Hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of your body. Weights should be resting on your thighs.
• With your back and legs very slightly bent, reach toward the ground with your weights. Be sure to keep your back flat. Only go as far as your flexibility will allow.
• Stand back up and repeat nine more times for a total of 10 repetitions.

I agree with postpartumpunk! Lifting heavier gives you SO much better results. It disappoints me seeing women constantly led to believe that we have to do wimpy workouts just because we are the gentler sex. Start smaller with more reps and work up to larger weights with less reps. Trust me, you won't get a man body.

My booty is my pride and joy! I love doing lunges, squats and bridging. Also the treadmill and elliptical machines are my bestfriends!

Hahaha, deadlifts with those tiny non-weights? give me a break. Show me a good booty and I'll show you a woman who can squat her bodyweight and deadlift twice as much.

A great way to also tone your inner thighs while doing lunges is before going into the lunge after standing, take the leg that you're going to put behind you, and swing it forward and around to behind you and going into your lunge from there. While you're swinging your leg around, keep it as high as you can while keeping your leg straight. This will also help with your flexibility. I had been doing this without the pause in between and doubling it as a cardio work-out. The only thing with doing this, is you probably want to have something to hold on to (I use either a chair or my fridge door) with your opposite hand for balance.
