No ifs, ands or butts about it... having a great looking rear-end and turning heads is something a lot of people wouldn’t mind. Most women are worried about gravity and cellulite, wear and tear and so on, and keeping the derriere smooth, firm, taut and tough is always floating around in their minds, especially when the perfect pair of jeans comes along.

The posterior is one of the top three things that men seem to check out on women, so it's no wonder so many obsessively seek to tone and tighten their buttocks.

The butt is made up of three major muscles, popularly known as glutes - gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The maximus glute is the biggest and outermost one that gives your butt its shape. The key to tightening, strengthening and firming it all up is simple: a prolonged attack of balanced diet, cardiovascular workout and butt toning exercises.

Here are a few exercises to tackling that drooping derriere and get the perfect butt:

Squats - Stand with feet hip-width apart and squat, keeping back straight, abs in and knees behind your toes, while letting your butt lightly touch a chair and squeezing the butt to stand up. Add weights for more intensity.

Lunges - Start with your feet together and then step forward into a lunge, then back to starting position (front lunges). Dips or reverse lunges also start with feet together and then you step back with one leg into a lunge position and then back to starting position.

Step-ups - Place one foot on a step and push through the heel onto the step, making sure your knee is bent to 90 degrees or less to keep it safe. It is important that you concentrate all your weight on the stepping leg, lowering it down gently, and barely touching the toes of the other leg to the ground.  

Hiking, biking, running or even brisk walking will also do a lot to firm and shape up your behind.  But whatever the choice of exercise, for maximum and long-lasting results, a healthy diet should definitely be incorporated.
