Women worry about shapely breasts and thighs. And you don't need any special gadgets to tone and shape the butt muscles, according to a recent survey of more than 36,000 ACE-certified fitness professionals. Lunges came in a close second. Otherwise, you will just firm the muscles under the fat.
Stair climbing is also a good workout for strengthening and fat burning.
Something none of us can control, genetics, is the number one factor in body shape. So it's important to be at peace with your body and to recognize that these exercises also contribute to your health, strength and longevity. Despite this reality, people who feel desperate about an inferior posterior are still all too willing to spend money on gadgets that promise to melt inches from their buns. Stand on one foot and extend the opposite leg straight out in front, arms out to the side for balance. Bend your standing leg and lower as far as you can without losing your balance.
