If you’ve been working out but still can’t get that perky butt you want, it’s time to up the ante with booty lifting These 34 exercises will help you lift, tone, and shape your behind while also hitting other muscles in your bod.

Hip thrusts, like the glute bridge, are a staple exercise because they directly target the biggest buttock muscle (glutes maximus) as well as the hamstrings. Performing them early on in your workouts (along with squats and lunges) will help you achieve your ideal booty shape. For best results, perform 2-4 sets for 8-15 reps.

The mountain climber is another classic and great for targeting the deepest glute muscles (glutes medius and minimus). Stand with feet hip-width apart, then hinge at your hips to lower your torso until it’s almost parallel to the floor. Hold for a few seconds and then move back up to the starting position.

In addition to building strength, this exercise is a good cardio choice as it’ll burn extra calories, too. It’s important to perform this movement for a few sets and higher reps in order to stimulate the buttocks’ largest muscle group, the glute maximus.

Over time, it’s natural for our butts to lose some of their fullness and shape. This is due to weight fluctuations, ageing, and gravity. Fortunately, a Brazilian butt lift procedure (where excess fat is removed from the hips and/or thighs and smartly injected into the butt) helps to give your butt more volume, form, and a nice kick to the arches.
