Exercises for the buttocks must definitely find a place within the training program.
Developed muscles in this area will highlight athletic legs and the overall figure, and heavy exercises performed to develop them will stimulate metabolism.
It is important to choose the right exercises and training methods that match the athlete’s goals in order to achieve maximum results in the shortest possible time.
Strengthening the glutes requires performing certain exercises. Some movements pump the entire muscle, while others are aimed at increasing individual parts. It's all about the features of the structure. The gluteus consists of the large, medium and small.
Features of working with the upper (middle and small) and lower (gluteus maximus) parts of the butt
The middle one is located under the big one, on the side. The main purpose is to abduct the hips to the sides; accordingly, to develop it, you need to choose the appropriate exercises, for example, abducting the legs to the side.
The small one is included in the work together with the middle one, from the side, so they need to be pumped together. Various swings and abductions, as well as static exercises, are perfect, since this muscle is also responsible for holding the body.
To swing the bottom and, accordingly, tighten the buttocks, you need to load a large muscle. She is responsible for hip extension and rotation. In fact, it is she who is responsible for the volume. Lunges, moving your legs back, and squats are perfect for its development.
It is recommended to first pump up the large muscle by training the bottom, and then work the sides, since when working the large muscle, the rest of the buttocks are often included in the work in parallel.

Program stages:
Week 1 –
burn fat and tighten skin.
Week 2 -
working on muscle definition.
Week 3 -
getting rid of extra centimeters.
Week 4 -
intensively pumping the buttocks.
Everyone knows that feminine and firm curves are beautiful. But not everyone can have them: some, due to heredity, have too much excess fat in the subcutaneous layer, while others, on the contrary, have only a skeleton covered with skin. The most common problem is, of course, the buttocks. Even ladies with curvy figures are often dissatisfied with them - the skin is too flabby, the butt has a “jelly” structure. No elasticity, no toned shape. If a lush bust is not so important, then any girl must have beautiful buttocks, because this is the most attractive and seductive part in a woman’s body. A beautiful silhouette largely depends on the shape of the butt, and only then on a thin waist or flat tummy, high round breasts. I offer a simple and convenient express program, which in 1 month will help to significantly improve the appearance of the “loin”, gradually eliminating excess fat on the buttocks, replacing it with elastic muscle tissue. The system does not require any special skills, knowledge or skills - everything is done at home, in a familiar and cozy environment, at a time convenient for you. If you take a serious approach to the system and accurately implement its stages, you will be able to notice significant and obvious changes within 1.5-2 weeks, and after a month your efforts will be appreciated by those around you. Nothing complicated, tricky or difficult to accomplish... So why not try it right now? WEEK 1. Burn fat and tighten the skin. Meals: hearty, hearty breakfast. For dinner - proteins and dairy products. You can't eat after 17.00. Consume no more than 1400 kcal per day. Treatments: homemade honey massage every day (see blog posts). Exercises: 10 squats with a weight of 10 kg 15 swings with each leg 10 squats with a weight of 10 kg 20 sit-ups in a lying position on the floor 10 squats with a weight of 10 kg
PS I usually take my sons as weight
The first week is aimed at giving the skin more elasticity and making it more toned.
Quite simple exercises for the buttocks and thighs are introduced so as not to do sudden loads and not injure muscles and ligaments. Exercises are performed every day, preferably at the same time. Breakfast should be hearty and high in calories. Dinner - light and protein. Proteins are an essential building material for muscle tissue; they are quickly absorbed by the body and do not cause an increase in fat mass. In the first week, you should set your daily diet at 1300-1400 kcal. WEEK 2. We work on muscle relief. Meals: soup or broth for lunch, meat is required. For breakfast it is better to eat porridge and cereals. You can't eat after 4 p.m. Consume no more than 1300 kcal per day. Procedures: cocoa wrap on the first, third, fifth, seventh day of the week. Exercises: 20 squats with a weight of 12 kg 20 lifts of the buttocks 15 squats with a weight of 12 kg 15 swings of each leg 15 raises of the buttocks 15 squats with a weight of 12 kg 10 swings of each leg
In the second week, the load on the gluteal muscle increases, during the exercises the muscles work well, The muscles tense up intensely.
By the end of the second week, if you did everything correctly and diligently, you will already be able to notice the first positive results. If you have an acute feeling of hunger in the evenings, you can drown it out with milk and fruit cocktails, broths, fermented milk drinks, etc. WEEK 3. Getting rid of extra centimeters. Meal: boiled and stewed vegetables for lunch. The most high-calorie food should be eaten for breakfast. Conventionally, meals are broken down as follows: for breakfast 500 kcal, for lunch 400 kcal, for dinner 200 kcal. The total daily amount of kcal should not exceed 1100 kcal. Procedures: honey massage on the first, third, fifth, seventh day of the week. Exercises: morning 15 squats with a weight of 14 kg 15 butt raises 15 swings with each leg 15 squats with a weight of 14 kg
evening
15 squats with a weight of 14 kg 10 swings with each leg 10 squats with a weight of 14 kg 10 swings with each leg 15 butt raises 15 squats with a weight 14 kg 10 butt lifts
The third week is significant in that extra pounds and centimeters are rapidly leaving the body, its contours are improving, the butt is increasingly acquiring a toned appearance, correct shape, cellulite and sagging are disappearing.
The skin on the buttocks looks well-groomed and elastic. After each honey massage, do not forget to rub nourishing cream into problem areas. Intensely moisturize the upper thighs and skin on the buttocks in the morning, especially if a honey massage is planned that day. WEEK 4. Strengthen your buttocks. Meals: breakfast up to 500 kcal, lunch - up to 400 kcal, dinner - up to 200 kcal. After 16.00, eating is prohibited, but drinking plenty of fluids is allowed - compotes, fruit drinks, herbal decoctions, dairy products, broth. The total daily amount of kcal of solid food should not exceed 1100-1200. We don’t count calories in a drink, even if it’s broth or fatty fermented baked milk. In the last week of the express program, you should heavily rely on boiled eggs, cottage cheese, stewed vegetables, boiled chicken and boiled veal, low-fat soups, herbal soothing teas (chamomile, lemon balm). You should not overuse fresh fruits, juices, sour or spicy foods, because... all this helps to increase the secretion of gastric juice and increases appetite. Procedures: first day - honey massage, second day - cocoa wrap, third day - honey, fourth - cocoa, etc. Exercises: morning 15 squats with a weight of 15 kg 20 swings with each leg 15 squats with a weight of 15 kg 20 glute raises 10 squats with a weight of 15 kg
evening
20 squats with a weight of 15 kg 20 swings with each leg 20 glute raises 15 squats with a weight of 15 kg 10 swings each leg 10 butt lifts 10 squats with a weight of 15 kg
If you adhered to all the rules of the program and weekly routine, then in the last days of the express system you will already be able to notice with your own eyes obvious results - overall weight loss, firmer and more beautiful skin, rounder and much more shaped buttocks and thighs. Remember that the results directly depend on your efforts, efforts and motivation. To get a beautiful figure you will have to work hard. However, in this program you just have to do everything I have stated above, this is guaranteed to change your body for the better. A little trick at the end: if you take a cool shower after each wrap, your shape and skin will tone up much faster! Remember that the beauty of your body is in your own hands.
Is it possible to achieve results quickly by pumping if you do it every day: in a week or a month?
Increasing muscle volume is a long and difficult process. You won’t be able to significantly pump up your buttocks in a short period of time; you can only tone them up and make them look a little bigger visually due to blood supply. Significant growth may be noticeable only after several months, depending on the characteristics of the body, training and other conditions.
Important! Daily training will definitely not bring any results. The bottom line is that muscles do not grow during the exercise, but during the recovery process. The muscle fibers are damaged, and the body tightens them so that they are not damaged when repeated stress occurs.
Performing exercises to pump up the glutes every day will not restore muscle tissue. This will only lead to stagnation of progress or even regression.
Effective exercises for pumping up your butt
It is possible to work out the buttocks qualitatively by doing some exercises that maximally pump this muscle group. Most often, these movements additionally pump the legs.
In the first half of the classes, it is recommended to perform multi-joint movements, and then move on to more isolated ones. This will allow you to load as many small muscles as possible, and then “finish” the most important ones.
The best complexes
The most effective movements are considered:
| Squats | The main movement aimed at working both the buttocks and legs in general, as well as the lower back and abdominals. The technique is simple: the back is slightly tilted forward, bending in the lower back and other areas of the spine is not allowed. Squat as deeply as possible, but do not move your heels or lift them off the floor. There are different types of squats, each with their own characteristics. For example, plies put more stress on the buttocks and inner thighs, while squats with a narrow leg position put more stress on the quadriceps. Squats will help pump up the buttocks as a whole, and not their individual parts. |
| Lunges | You can do it with any weights, and at the first stage without weight at all. They pump mainly the large muscle, giving volume to the buttocks. The technique is as follows: stand up straight, take a step forward, as deeply as possible, bending your leg at the knee. |
| Pelvic lifts | The load falls on the gluteus maximus, as well as the small and medium ones. You can do this on the floor, resting your back on it at the level of your shoulder blades and your legs, then lift your pelvis up and lower it down. |
| Swing your leg to the side | Lie on your side, resting your head in your hand. Raise one leg up. Loads the small and medium muscles. |
| Jumping up | You can jump onto a bench or other stable hill. To begin with, it is better to use a low surface. It is recommended to jump from a deep squat. Helps in pumping both the buttocks and quadriceps. |
| Deadlift on straight legs | You need to do rows of barbells or dumbbells from the floor, tilting your torso forward, but practically not bending your legs. When using dumbbells, the load shifts more to the buttocks. |
It is better to combine exercises for pumping up the buttocks into complexes, that is, do them not one at a time, but several, ranging from multi-joint ones, such as squats and lunges, to isolating ones, such as extensions.
No strain on your knees
Having problems with your knees, you can also effectively pump up your buttocks. In this case, squats and lunges are excluded; emphasis should be placed on movements that eliminate the knees from work as much as possible.
These can be various abductions of the legs, for example, backwards, from a lying position. To increase efficiency, you can use leg weights or elastic bands. You can also spend time working on machines, such as leg extensions or leg curls.
Set of exercises No. 1 - pump up your butt without weights
How many sets and reps you need to do will depend on your condition and fitness level. If these are your first steps, then 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions will be sufficient. With the level of progress, increase the number of repetitions to 25-30, and sets to 4-5.
Sky Bridge
For the first exercise, you only need a desire and a chair. There is no need to use any weights or additional weights. The heavenly bridge will tone the buttocks, because the gluteal muscles are well used and the lower back and back of the thigh are also included in the work.
You need to take a lying position and place your heels on a chair, while your legs are extended. Slowly raise your legs up one at a time until your left heel and shoulder form a straight line.
A tree that bends
What do you need to do in this exercise? No weights are required, the same chair remains. Only the position is taken up behind him. The legs are brought together and the arms are placed on the back of the chair. Next, the legs are alternately bent and moved to the sides to a position of 90 degrees.
Ladder
This exercise will require additional attention and concentration. There is no need to carry a barbell or dumbbells, your task is to cope with your own balance, how to say, to dominate yourself.
You need to take a position opposite the same chair and place your feet shoulder-width apart. You need to bend your legs one by one, as if you want to put them on the back of a chair, holding the poses.
Let's crouch into the abyss
In this variation, the chair should be at the back before starting. The position of the legs is shoulder width, arms on the sides. Alternately place your feet on the chair with one leg and simultaneously squat on the other. Burns the buttocks very well - no additional weights are needed
, the butt shakes just right.
Heavenly Squats
A very simple exercise. The initial position is identical, the legs are shoulder-width apart, the arms are spread to the sides. You should squat slowly, you can mentally calculate up to 3-4 seconds, and then rise on your toes.
How many times a week should you train
At the first stage, it is enough to train once a week. Classes should be moderately hard, and the progression of the load should be gradual. Subsequently, if the body recovers quickly, you can add a second workout.
Attention! Most often, legs and buttocks are combined in one training day. You can train them separately only in the case of working on relief, when a certain result in increasing muscle mass has already been achieved.
How long does it take to pump up your butt?
It is also necessary to take into account the conditions in which you have to exercise. You can pump up your butt both at home and in the gym, but the time frame for achieving the goal will be different.
In the gym
If you have the opportunity to go to the gym, getting firm buttocks will be somewhat easier. After all, it’s easy to pick up weights in the gym (barbell, dumbbells, weights, etc.).
In addition, fitness clubs have a wide variety of exercise equipment that help increase the effectiveness of your workouts.
When creating a buttock training program, it is important to use both basic and isolation exercises. Some girls make the mistake of only doing leg swings, etc. This leads to the fact that growth hormone is not released and the muscles do not receive the proper load.
You should not make the opposite mistake by including only basic exercises (squats, lunges, etc.) in the program. After all, isolation helps to engage the buttocks more strongly and finish them off after a heavy base.
You should pump your butt 1-3 times a week. It is not possible to conduct classes more often, as the muscles need to recover. Moreover, if the exercises are performed with heavy weights, training should be done less frequently.
If you follow all the above rules and train with weights in the gym, you can pump up your buttocks in just a month. The first minor changes can sometimes be observed already in the first 7 days. A sustainable result in the form of buttock growth in volume can be achieved within six months of persistent and regular training.
Buttocks before and after training
At home
Finding inventory at home is a little more difficult. If it is not possible to purchase dumbbells or weights, you can use improvised means: water bottles or a backpack with books.
Some girls think that it is impossible to significantly improve the condition of their buttocks at home. In fact, you just need to follow the correct technique and feel the target muscles. Then the result will not be long in coming.
To pump up your butt at home without a variety of equipment, it will take a little more time. The first changes will become noticeable after approximately 14 days. Within a month, the result will already be obvious to others. Further progress will depend on whether the weight of the weight and the number of repetitions increases.
The effectiveness of squats: how and how much to do
Squats are considered one of the main exercises aimed at developing the gluteal muscles. But you need to understand how to squat correctly in order to pump up your buttocks, not your legs, and correctly shift the load.
Squats should be deep, not just to parallel, but so that the buttocks almost touch the floor. You should not use your legs too narrow; on the contrary, it is better to place them wide.
There are several options for squats:
- classic. The load is on the legs and buttocks. Feet are approximately shoulder-width apart, slightly wider. To shift the load on the buttocks and inner thighs, it is better to place your legs wider;
- plie squats. When performing, a weight is most often used, which is held in the hands below. Legs are placed wide. The load falls mostly on the gluteal muscles;
- squats with dumbbells. Almost the same as squats with a barbell, the option only replaces the main one;
- front squats. The legs are placed narrower than the shoulders, the projectile is held with the hands, slightly resting on the shoulders. The load falls more on the legs.
To develop your buttocks, you need to do deep squats and plies. Increasing the volume is possible by performing the exercise in several approaches up to 15 repetitions. Once a week will be enough.
CARDIO
As for cardio, here I have a convincing request to you, girls, choose effective and reasonable cardio! What do I mean by these words?
Firstly, you need to remember the timing of the cardio, and secondly, its duration.
You can learn more about this from my articles:
- When is it better to run: in the morning or in the evening, before or after training?
- What kind of running is most effective for losing weight? How to run correctly to make fat burn?
No need to push yourself with 2-3 hour cardio sessions!!! Because of this, not only your buttocks, but also all the muscles of your body will definitely not say “thank you” to you. And this applies not only to running, but also to any cardio machine. It is enough to do short high-intensity interval cardio sessions (15-20 minutes) or moderately intense ones - about 35 minutes.
The best cardio machines for working the gluteal muscles, which not only help burn fat, but also pump up the buttocks , are:
- stepper
- elliptical
- fast walking uphill (at an incline on a treadmill)
— an exercise bike (it is better to use a special exercise bike without a seat)
* recommendations for using these exercise machines with an emphasis on the buttocks: move your pelvis back, slightly tilt your body forward, transfer your body weight to your heels.
- The treadmill is the most popular cardio machine. You can also use it, but only interval running.
Sample program for 30 days
Before starting classes, it is recommended to create a training plan. Considering the fact that it is not recommended to train the buttocks and legs more than once a week, you can stick to the following program:
| Legs and buttocks | Squats, straight-legged deadlifts, lunges, pelvic lifts, leg curls in the simulator. 3-4 approaches, 6-8 repetitions. |

This program is an example of a three-day split, that is, three workouts per week are used. On days other than those where you train your legs and buttocks, you can choose any exercises, depending on your training goal.
Features of pumping the gluteal muscles in men and women
Men and women treat pumped up buttocks differently. A man, most often, wants to have an elastic butt, but of a small size: due to pumping, he runs the risk of looking feminine. Girls, on the contrary, strive specifically for enlargement, because a large “nut” attracts the attention of the stronger sex.

Girls usually pay more attention to training their buttocks, because in women this part is more developed, so it needs to be trained more diligently.

Pro Tips: How to Properly Gain Volume with Lean Muscles
Professionals recommend devoting a separate day to training your buttocks and legs in order to pump them up efficiently. It is best to do exercises for these muscles together, since in most cases, when performing leg exercises, the buttocks are at least partially involved, and vice versa.
It is important to create the right program and provide the muscles with the conditions for growth. In addition to the actual training, you need to build the right diet, as well as provide the body with quality rest.
Ekaterina Usmanova, fitness bikini
The Russian fitness bikini champion knows exactly how to develop voluminous and beautiful buttocks. She believes the best exercises for working these muscles are deep squats and lunges, but don't forget about other movements that help diversify the training process.
In her opinion, we should not forget about proper nutrition. Muscle growth is impossible without saturating the body with all the necessary nutrients: the right fats, enough protein and complex carbohydrates. But you shouldn’t overdo it, as this may not contribute to muscle growth, but to an increase in the percentage of body fat.
Ivanna Eskander, fitness bikini
The Spanish athlete, who is the world champion in fitness bikini, claims that you can only pump up your buttocks with the help of heavy multi-joint exercises. She prefers squats and lunges, as they help create a beautiful shape, and not only increase volume.
Anna Kaiser, trainer
The fitness trainer, who has worked with many famous personalities, claims that working to enlarge the buttocks is certainly associated with proper nutrition, like any other work on the figure. It is impossible to increase the size of these muscles unless you consume enough calories and protein. Training can be different and selected individually depending on the characteristics of the body.
