Front Lunges

Front Lunges Front lunges are one of the absolute best exercises for your butt. To start, stand up straight with your hands on your hips. Take a big step forward with one leg, bending at the knee, until your knee is at a 90 degree angle. Step back. Repeat 15 to 20 times with each leg.

Side Lunges

Side Lunges A side lunge is very similar to a front lunge, only instead of stepping directly forward with one leg, you’ll go forward and to the right (with your right leg) or left (with your left leg). Whew! It’s hard to keep your balance!

Back Lunges

Back Lunges Again, these are very similar butt exercises to the front lunge, only (you guessed it!) instead of stepping forward, you’ll step backward. You might have to do these a little more slowly than the front lunges to avoid a fall, at least at first.

Squats

Squats These are my own favorite exercises for my butt. Stand with your hands and arms straight in front of you, then, keeping your back straight, squat as though you’re going to sit in a chair behind you. Stop when your thighs are level with the ground, and your knees are bent at a 90 degree angle. If it helps, you can lean against a wall to keep your balance.

where did the picture for workout 19 come from? its started a war on pinterest about the butt's authenticity

the "leg lift" exercise is actually called a hip bridge. I leg lift is actually just where you lay on your back and lift both legs and it's an ab workout. but a kneeling leg lift is a really good butt/hamstring workout: on all fours, stretch the leg out, point your toe and lift up, come down, lift up come down to the side, lift up come down in the middle, lift up come down on opposite side...etc etc. :)
