The Best Exercise For Tight Buttocks and Slim Thighs
I did a little survey recently in the weight room at the YMCA to find out why people were there and what they were hoping to achieve. Most of their answers had to do with one or all of three things:
- Get tight, well-shaped buttocks,
- Have slim, nicer looking thighs, and
- Trim down their hips.
What surprised me was that most of these people were burning up the treadmill and didn’t know that treadmills are good for cardio, but not for building muscle and losing weight.
The best exercises for tight buttocks and slim thighs are done with bodyweight or free weights. Stay off the machines. One of the most effective is an exercise called the single legged Romanian Deadlift. It’s also great for improving balance and strengthening your ankles. Here’s how to do it:
- Stand and look straight ahead balancing on one leg. Kick the other leg out behind you just slightly.
- Keep the leg you’re balancing on slightly bent through the entire exercise.
- Keeping your back straight and flat, begin bending forward while pushing the but and hips back.
- As you bend forward, kick you free leg out behind you and reach both hands down to try touching the foot on the floor. This will give you a good hamstring stretch as you get to the full bend.
- Keep your butt muscles squeezing hard as you reverse the movement and raise yourself back to the full upright position. That was one repetition. Do 5-10 with each leg or fewer if you’re just beginning. You can increase the number as you improve.
- Be sure to keep your back straight throughout the routine.
It may take a little work to get the form correct and learn to stay balanced, but I guarantee once you get this down and do it regularly you’ll have the best looking buttocks and thighs in town. You’ll also be on your way to no belly fat and a nice flat stomach.
