Some More Butt Exercises
Buttocks cushion your upper torso from the pelvis and the lower limbs. They ensconce the lower abdomen, reproductive and excretory systems. In addition, they help you to sit, bend and transmit power to your movements. Firm and supple butts add grace to your physical shape and style.
However, buttocks can go out of shape easily (due to accumulation of fat) especially in the case after childbirth. A heavy butt puts enormous pressure on the backbone and the lower limbs. However, it is easy to maintain a firm, rounded butt throughout your life. The exercises given below will help enhance the strength, endurance and flexibility of the muscles, but will not help in fat loss in this area. To reduce the fat you have to do full body aerobic exercises.
