When you walk and you can alter a children's song to hear the words "Does your butt hang low? Does it wobble to and fro?" it is time to take action. Fortunately, your backside responds quickly to exercise and is easy to isolate. Lifting your glutes will take discipline and consistency with your workouts. A variety of exercises that place your rear in different positions will lift your butt from all angles. Aim to exercise your behind three days a week with a day of rest in between for muscle recovery, and soon you will see results.
