Butt and thigh workouts are a great way to stay in shape and keep that tight lean look that millions of people strive for every day. It tends to be a problem area for most women and even many men. Typically a lot of fat ends up in women’s thigh and butt area because they were designed to have children. But not to worry, a simple structured workout can have your shapely behind back on track.

A great beginning exercise for your butt and thigh workout routine is the classic squat motion. Not only is it something you do every day in common activities, it is an exercise that can help target both areas in one swoop. The easiest way to perform this is to stand with your legs just farther than shoulder width apart with your hands placed on your knees. Taking a deep breath, bend at the knees slighting leaning your upper body forward until your thighs are parallel with the ground. Hold for a second and then come back up and repeat up to 10 times or more.

There are several variations of the squat that you can do such as the plie’ squat. Another addition to the original exercise is adding weights. Once you find that your comfortable with the position, try adding some dumbbells to the mix. The next great exercise which is very popular amongst women is the lunge. Proper execution of this exercise will assure you tighter, stronger thighs and improve flexibility immensely. Throw in some step ups to your routine and there you have a very basic workout that in its simple form is very effective and will produce the results you desire.

Try to achieve as many repetitions as you can and remember that you should avoid too much rest in between sets. You’re better off working hard and taking a day off from working out to allow for muscle repair. With a healthy diet and well rested nights you’ll have your tight backside in no time.
