Squats

This is a great exercise and you have to do it for a few sets adding more intensity as you go on. Some use weights to make it more effective.
One-Legged Dead Lifts
With this exercise, you need to put all your weight to only one of your legs. This is hard and it requires some practice before being done. What you need to do is to put either your left or right leg on the back of the other leg resting with the toe. Then, bend your body and shift your weight to the supporting thigh.
Although this is good for your butt, legs and the rest of your lower body, you should never try this if you have a back or similar injury as it will only worsen the situation.
Step-Ups
Do the step-up by placing one of your feet onto a step or platform then pushing your body down toward the step with the knees of the other leg bent to a 90-degree angle or less. Apply your weight to the stepping leg for best results. Prior to doing the exercise, make sure that the platform or step is secure to prevent accident. Step-up is like repeatedly stepping on one of the steps of a stairway.
Lunges
Lunges can be a tiresome exercise if you are not used to it yet. Basketball players also do this type of workout. It’s good not only for the butt, but for the knees and lower body as well. For a more challenging lunges, you may use dumbbells.
Although this is one of the most common and easy exercise, you are still cautioned against doing this if you have knee or back problems. Always seek clearance from your doctor when you do this type of exercise.
Holding the dumbbells at each hand, step one foot forward and let the other foot at the back rest on its toes. With your back kept straight, try to lower the knee of your back foot as low as you can. Keep the front foot knee cap at a 90-degree angle. Keep at this position for a few seconds and repeat the process with the different feet position. Continue to repeat the process as much as you can.
Although there are a lot more, these are the most common and effective butt exercises. You will probably notice that when you get your knee, thighs and feet worked out, you get your butt worked up as well. You are right on this observation.
Without the proper diet, discipline and dedication, butt exercise may not work effectively as expected. If you desire to look sexier, consistently do these butt exercises to make your butt bigger and more toned.
