In order for the buttocks to look attractive and toned, desire alone is not enough. Diets alone will not achieve this goal either. It is much more important to regularly perform time-tested, simple and effective butt lifting exercises. Training should be done every other day, for at least 10-15 minutes. This time will be enough for the buttocks to become rounded and lifted in a few months.
It should be noted that the buttocks consist of 3 muscles - small, medium and large. So, the first, despite the name, is responsible for the most important thing - the raised appearance of the “fifth point”. Therefore, during training, the small muscle must be involved.
How to lift your buttocks at home quickly and without harm to your health? Here is a list of 5 exercises with proven effectiveness:
Squats
The squat is the main exercise for correcting saggy gluteal muscles. Difficulty – medium. In this case, the thigh muscles (quadriceps), popliteal and large pelvic muscles, calf muscles, abdominal and back muscles are involved.
In the ranking of the TOP 10 exercises for the buttocks, squats take 1st place .
The squat exercise has several varieties :
- classic (at an angle of 90 ͦ);
- deep (25-35 ͦ);
- with weight (dumbbells, barbell);
- plie;
- sumo;
- squats with narrowed legs.
How to lift your buttocks at home even faster and more effectively? Do deep squats, weighted squats, and plies.
There are as many as 7 effective types of squats that are suitable for our purposes. If you are not a beginner and feel strong, various types of squats with dumbbells will suit you.
Also check out the special 30-day squat program.
Before starting classes , you should master the technique of performing:
- The heels should not come off the surface.
- When raising your knees, you must ensure that they do not curl inward.
- When squatting, your knees should not extend beyond your toes.
- Correct breathing. As you inhale, go down, as you exhale, go up.
- The back should be “hard” - straight.
Important! Before exercise, you should warm up your muscles to reduce the likelihood of injury.
So, plie squats represent a wide stance of the legs and maximally spread toes. Here, in addition to the gluteal muscles, the muscles of the back, abdomen, and lower back are also worked.
The sumo exercise is similar to squatting on a chair. In this case, the buttocks are pulled back a little, the back bends forward, the legs are located at hip level, and the toes are turned to the sides.
You should do 20 squats in 3 approaches , gradually increasing the load. Don't exhaust yourself on the first day of classes. Only properly structured and moderate training will give a positive result.
For a complete understanding, we recommend watching the video:
Caution! At the initial stage of training, it is not recommended to lift the barbell. To begin with, you should resort to using dumbbells.
Endoprosthetics or gluteoplasty
But how can you remove ptosis of the buttocks and increase volume if you don’t have enough of your own tissue? In this case, endoprosthetics (or gluteoplasty) is used. Buttock prostheses are similar to breast implants. They have a durable silicone shell and a special gel inside. They can be round or pear-shaped. Prostheses are selected individually for each person so that they add the required volume and do not harm the sciatic nerve.
Implants can be installed under the muscle or under the skin. The first option is used more often. This is due to the fact that the muscles securely hold the prosthesis; it is not visible in any position of the body. Also, the implant does not move.
After this method, a person feels discomfort for about a year. During this time, the body will get used to the foreign body. Also, the prosthesis can be felt during sports when muscles contract. Over time, muscle atrophy occurs due to the pressure of the implant, which may not be corrected when playing sports.
Lunges
Lunges are the second most effective exercise for lifting the buttocks after squats. The degree of difficulty of the exercise depends on the technique of execution. So, with dumbbells and a barbell, training will be more effective. However, for beginners it is better to perform forward, backward and cross lunges without additional load.
About 7 different types of lunges and their effect on the buttocks, see here.
How to do it:
- Starting position: legs at hip level, feet parallel to each other. The gaze is directed forward, the stomach is tense, the knees are slightly bent, the chest is in a wheel, the back is arched at the lower back.
- A big step forward is being taken. The center of gravity should shift to the leg. At the same time, the torso is straightened and a squat is performed on the leg extended forward.
- The movement should be performed until the back leg is 1 cm from the floor. Under no circumstances should the knee touch the surface, otherwise the exercise will lose effectiveness.
- Then you should return to the starting position. After this, the lunges are repeated alternating legs.
The exercise should be repeated 10 times in 3 approaches for each leg.
After watching the video it will become even clearer:
Important! Lunges with dumbbells will bring the greatest results. It is better if the shells are located along the body. This makes it easier to maintain balance.
Nutritional Features
It is also important to take care of nutrition - it affects not only your figure, but also the beauty of your skin. Even if you don’t plan to lose weight, try not to overindulge in fatty, fried, and floury foods - this has a negative impact on metabolism and skin condition. Consider the following recommendations:
- Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.
- Eat foods such as apples, strawberries, cranberries, beans, prunes, pink potatoes. They contain antioxidants that help your skin look better.
- Try to replace sweets with dried fruits and honey.
- The diet should include foods that contain omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids. Their sources are cod liver, fish, walnuts, olive oil. Both the skin and the body need them.
- Remember about beauty vitamins - E, A, C, group B.
- Drink enough water.
- Eat often and in small portions.
- If you plan to lose weight, do it smoothly and gradually - too sudden loss of kilograms provokes sagging skin.
"Dead" or "Romanian" deadlift on straight legs
This exercise has a high degree of difficulty , so it is not recommended for everyone, especially for people who have problems with their knee joints and spine. During the deadlift with straight legs, all the gluteal muscles, back muscles and the back of the thigh are used.
Despite the name of the exercise - “straight-legged row” - the legs should be slightly bent during the exercise to avoid injury. The back does not fall below the pelvis.

How to do it:
- Starting position: take dumbbells into your hands. The back is straight, legs are at hip level.

Before you start doing exercises, be sure to warm up your major muscle groups. To warm up, you can use fast walking in place, bending, and turning. Once you finish it, move on to the main exercises.
Raising the pelvis
The so-called gluteal bridge remarkably lifts the buttocks. The severity level is mild. It is simple to implement, but extremely effective. In this case, the gluteus minimus muscle is used to a greater extent, as well as the muscles of the back, abdomen and thigh. To further target your gluteal muscles, perform this movement using a stability ball.

Important! It is recommended to perform the exercises in various variations so that all muscles are worked equally.
Injections
To correct the appearance of the buttocks, some people are inclined to use mesotherapy with biorevitalization. Contour plastic surgery can also be performed. Such methods have a positive effect on the skin, tightening it. Similar procedures are performed for preventive purposes or to eliminate ptosis. They are also used after plastic surgery for lifting in order to maintain the effect longer. Such methods will not add volume to the buttocks, but will correct their contour.
Is it even possible to lift your buttocks with exercise? Photos before and after
By regularly doing the above workouts, you can achieve a very good result - beautiful, pumped up and elastic muscles of the “fifth point”, instead of sagging folds. Pay attention to the following photos of the buttocks before and after exercises from women who successfully completed this task:
Note! What exercises lift the buttocks as effectively as the ones mentioned above? Climbing uphill is considered very effective. This is ideal for lifting your butt. It wouldn’t hurt to run up the stairs 4-5 times to the 5th floor.
Filamentlifting
This procedure has virtually no contraindications. It is performed under local anesthesia. The rehabilitation period does not last long, which is a huge plus. To carry out filament lifting, special threads are used, they are inserted under the skin, after which they are tensioned. As a result, the shape and size of the buttocks becomes noticeably better. To carry out such manipulations, the doctor will need about an hour. After the procedure, the person does not need to be in the clinic. Initially, painful sensations appear in the area where the thread is inserted, and you may experience swelling or bruising. These side effects go away within a few days. The person will have to wear supportive underwear for a couple of weeks. It is also better to refrain from physical exercise and thermal procedures. Suppuration, swelling, and soreness may also occur.
This is an effective method, but it is not able to cope with second or third degree ptosis. In addition, the effect of the procedure disappears after some time.
Other equally effective workouts for the gluteal muscles
And, of course, we must not forget that there are many other movements that have shown high efficiency:
- “Bicycle” and “Scissors” are considered especially effective for the butt muscles;
- “Stepping onto the platform” is required to be included in your complex;
- You can build up your muscles with static exercises, for example, the “Chair” exercise;
- “Walking on the buttocks” not only burns cellulite, but also has many beneficial properties for the pelvic area;
- Well, of course, you can’t do without Hyperextension.
If after training you still feel the feeling of “burning” legs, then this is the main indicator that the muscles are well developed. Feeling aches and discomfort in the lower extremities the next day also indicates a good workout.
How to make your butt big and pumped up
It is known that there is such an irresistible thing as hereditary predisposition. If a woman has a narrow pelvis, then training will not make it wider. And vice versa, if a man’s pelvis is wider than he would like, not a single gym will be able to narrow it. The shape of the butt depends mainly on the parameters of the gluteus maximus muscle, quite a bit - on the middle muscle, and practically does not depend on the gluteus minimus muscle. By the way, the length and width of the muscle cannot be changed either - genetics does not allow it. But you can pump up your butt and remove excess fat. That is, to a certain extent, increase muscle mass and “dry out” excess deposits. But everything is good in moderation: one admires elasticity, not thinness; Flabbiness is what disgusts, not fullness.
It is impossible to get an attractively shaped butt, although you can inherit it, but it won’t last long. The most reliable way is training. Moreover, to get a beautiful butt, experts advise pumping the upper, lower and lateral sectors of the buttocks separately. This allows you to form the surface with great precision, hide imperfections and bring the shape closer to the ideal. Next, we will look in detail at how to change specific areas of the buttocks.
Degrees of tissue subsidence
Regarding tissue prolapse, both ptosis and preptosis are distinguished among them. Distinctions are made based on how pronounced the skin fold that occupies the border of the back of the thighs is. Its length is measured by mentally “drawing” a line along the middle of the thigh from behind. If there is no ptosis, the fold is also absent, or it may occupy only the posterior inner surfaces of the thighs. Next they talk about the following stages:
- the skin fold is pronounced, but it does not yet reach the middle of the thigh (preptosis is minimal);
- the fold already occupies the middle of the thigh, but without crossing it (moderate preptosis);
- the skin fold crosses the midline (borderline stage of preptosis);
- sharp expression of the fold with strong prolapse of soft tissues (deep or true ptosis).
Anti-cellulite creams
The shelves of stores and pharmacies are overflowing with anti-cellulite products, each of which literally begs you to buy it, promising a magical effect in just three days. The following creams for tightening sagging skin are considered the most effective:
Anti-Capiton (Clarins)
Celluli Eraser (Biotherm)
Phyto-Svelt Global (Sisley Paris)
Aqua Destock (VICHY)
- Anti-Capiton (Clarins) - contains extracts of 6 herbs that improve blood circulation and intracellular metabolism, heal microcracks and make the epithelium smoother and more elastic.
- Celluli Eraser (Biotherm) , as the name says, erases sagging and cellulite like an eraser. The main active component of the cosmetic product is coral algae extract, which helps to dissolve the fat layer, as well as ginkgo biloba extract and salicylic acid, which have a gentle exfoliating and disinfecting effect.
- Phyto-Svelt Global (Sisley Paris) contains plant extracts that prevent water from accumulating in tissues and prevent the formation of fat layers.
- AquaDestock (VICHY) has a complex effect on two fronts: it prevents water from retaining in the skin and at the same time smoothes out sagging epidermis.
The list of good anti-cellulite products is much longer and, if desired, you can choose a product for any type of epithelium and wallet size. It is advisable to choose products with a targeted effect; if you chase several birds with one stone and buy “10 in 1” cosmetics, then there is a high risk of not getting any positive effect at all.
Rehabilitation period
In the first 24 hours after surgery, the patient will be transferred to the intensive care unit to rule out complications after general anesthesia. Discharge takes place after two or three days, with a further outpatient visit to the surgeon.
It should be remembered that compression garments will only be needed if liposuction was performed along with the lift. During the first weeks of the postoperative period, you will have to come to terms with the fact that there will be swelling and bruising on the skin of the buttocks with severe pain. Usually, they are easily eliminated by taking painkillers.
An undoubted advantage is that the patient can sit already two or three days after the plastic surgery, and if necessary, you can even drive. After two to three weeks, the swelling gradually begins to go away, and after two to three months it will completely resolve. During this period the final effect is assessed.
As long as there is swelling on the body, visiting baths, saunas, swimming pools and gyms is strictly prohibited. Massage is also unacceptable. All these activities will contribute to additional trauma and increase the rehabilitation period.
Salon treatments
If your income allows, you can turn to specialists who can help you get your sagging skin in order. Depending on the extent of the problem, cosmetologists can offer the following procedures:
- mesotherapy, in which subcutaneous injections of special substances are made that nourish the skin layers and improve metabolism in cells;
- biorevitalization, which involves “driving” hyaluronic acid under the skin using a special laser;
- vacuum roller massage, which accelerates blood and improves cell nutrition;
- RF lifting, based on heating tissue using radio waves;
- hydromassage, literally breaking up the fat layer and toning sagging skin.
The specialist will determine the duration of the course and the necessary set of procedures, but the effect will be long-lasting only with sports exercises, proper nutrition and cosmetic procedures.
