Exercises to firm butts - Ideally they should be performed in front of a mirror. Stand with our legs placed slightly apart.

The kickback is yet another effective butt toning exercises. Position yourself on a mat with hands and feet ensuring that your weight is evenly distributed.

The kickback exercise can be reinforced with ankle weights for more resistance. This can be done after you are comfortable with the exercise regimen. Repeat about 15 times for each leg.

Lunge is as an effective butt exercise. Stand with the right foot on a

paper plate. Bend the left leg and move right back into a lunging position. Ensure that the torso is upright and abdomen is tucked in.
