First of all, we note that dimples on the buttocks are a completely normal phenomenon due to the structure of the gluteal muscles. But because of the fashion for voluminous rounded butts, women are quite picky about the shape of the butt. Well, if there is demand, there will be supply. In this article we have collected the most effective exercises to solve this problem. Using the presented recommendations and training methods, you can visually remove the depressions on the sides of the buttocks and make your butt more beautiful.
Causes of gluteal dimples
- Excess fat deposits in the lower body. The accumulation of subcutaneous fat in the so-called breeches zone (on the outer and inner sides of the thighs) visually makes the lower body heavier, increases the “dents” in the buttocks and creates a pear-type appearance.
- Low percentage of subcutaneous fat. But this point contradicts the first? No, in fact, the very structure of the gluteal muscles suggests the presence of such dimples, and with a low percentage of subcutaneous fat, this feature becomes much more noticeable.
- Small number of muscle fibers in the buttocks. This is a genetically determined factor (hereditary). Insufficient volume of the gluteal muscles leads to the fact that the dimples on the butt become more pronounced, which worsens the appearance of the butt.
Why do folds appear under the buttocks?
There are not so many reasons for the appearance of an unaesthetic fold under the buttocks (or even two or three):
- Low muscle tone (sedentary lifestyle, minimum physical activity). They are simply unable to support the skin; it sags, forming folds. A similar effect is observed in infants who simply do not yet have the opportunity to train their muscles.
The folds on the arms, legs and butts of babies touch women, but on their own bodies they sometimes almost make them depressed
- Problems with blood circulation. As a result, the supply of tissue with oxygen necessary for the breakdown of fatty acids is disrupted. In particularly severe cases, the effect of “Shar Pei skin” under the buttocks can also be caused by swelling.
- Congenital or acquired curvature of the pelvis, scoliosis. In this case, the folds will be asymmetrical. You definitely can’t do without the help of a professional; look for a competent osteopath.
Asymmetry of the folds under the buttocks is most often a consequence of problems with the pelvic bones and/or spine
- Genetic predisposition. Fat in different people is deposited in certain places, for example, on the hips, stomach, shoulders. For some, the place where such “NZ” is stored is just under the buttocks. Moreover, even with proper nutrition and regular exercise, this feature will most likely become less noticeable, but will not completely disappear.
A genetic predisposition to the appearance of folds under the buttocks means that, most likely, you will not be able to completely get rid of this feature
Recommendations for activities
To remove dimples on the buttocks, follow these training recommendations:
- Focus on basic exercises that build volume. Work out the relief of the buttocks with insulating elements at the end of the lesson.
- Don't forget about recovery. Girls need to rest at least 1-2 days between butt workouts.
- basic exercises for 3-4 sets of 12-15 repetitions, isolating exercises for 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions.
- Don't chase the scales. The most important thing in glute training is to feel the tension in the target muscles.
- Change your training plan every 8-10 weeks so that your buttocks do not have time to get used to the load.
- If you are overweight, do moderate cardio sessions (biking, outdoor games, running, walking) on weekends.
And, of course, don’t forget about healthy eating. Avoiding sweet and starchy foods will help you gradually reduce your body fat. And natural meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, herbs, cereals, vegetable oils will help increase the volume of the gluteal muscles.
How to remove
There will be a very similar approach as in our article Without deception and marketing: how to make your waist thin? . You will have to work comprehensively and not expect instant, 555% results in 2 weeks. We don’t need special creams that cost 100,500 rubles or some tricky exercises that fitness girls hide from us mere mortals.

Stress
Let's quote our favorite character from childhood: calm, only calm! All these abstruse words about receptors are not a verdict. This is just information that should explain to you some of the features of losing weight and your figure.
When planning your “new dream shape”, you must set realistic goals and respect your own “flavors” - don’t ask for the impossible!
In addition, this does not mean that such fat cannot be broken down, not at all. Translated into normal, non-boring language, this means that stimulating the breakdown of fat in these areas is more difficult, but more than possible!
In addition, remember, stress is the main enemy of losing weight ! Fat cells, which are dominated by alpha receptors, store fat in response to stress. The harder you push yourself, the more fat you will have in these areas (thighs and buttocks). And with constant prolonged stress and subsequent hormonal imbalances, new “problem areas” with alpha fat may even appear.

Nutrition
So, in order to remove something unnecessary from our body, we need to lose weight. There will be no other way out except limiting calories, no matter how hard you try! What are we doing:
- We calculate our norm KBZHU - Metabolism: daily diet for weight loss ,
- use from 30 ml. water for every kilo of weight daily,
- try to reduce the amount of too fatty, salty or sweet foods in your diet - this can cause swelling and create unnecessary additional volume,
- We don’t bother with keto , paleo diets and all sorts of detoxes - all this is unnecessary dancing with tambourines, causing a lot of stress, but not giving any additional profit.

Exercises
And again our favorite moral: no exercise burns fat in a specific place! So if you squat, it’s not at all a fact that it’s your butt and quads that will lose weight. You cannot “download” fat from a specific place, and you don’t need to. Our goals:
- Invigorate the muscles of the buttocks to give them initial tone and improve blood circulation.
- Make the gluteal muscles larger and thereby “raise” the butt, visually reducing the fold. Also, good posture is important, so do some lumbar stretches. Your lumbar arch visually shapes your figure, it affects how your muscles look in the overall context.

Massage/creams/wraps/contrast shower
Of all this, we can definitely recommend a contrast shower and self-massage after it for 10 minutes using a hard towel, because they are free, beneficial for your body as a whole, and available to everyone at any time of the year!
As for hardware cosmetology (such as lPG/Icoone massage, myostimulation, RF lifting), mesotherapy and injections with the introduction of lipolytics, vacuum or anti-cellulite massages, and especially wraps and creams, our opinion is this: all this costs a lot, and the effectiveness is questionable.
More precisely, it exists, but in our opinion, it is advisable to engage in such procedures only for those who have a lot of free time and money, do not have the slightest desire to play sports, or for professional performing athletes.
However, keep in mind that you will still have to adhere to the diet. Does all this make sense with diet and exercise? We think not
