Score Curvy Back View OF Yourself, With These Simple Exercises

Always wanted to look a blast from front as well as back? Here are some exercises for all the lazy ones. Having a perfect butt is as important as glowing face. So, you need to take care of it timely and if you don't get much time, then these simple tips are a must for you.

# Glute and Hamstring Extension

Start standing, leaning forward on a back extension pad, with your toes turned out, knees bent (like a frog). Keeping your back flat, bend at your hips as far down as possible. To come up, push your thighs into the pad and squeeze your glutes, keeping your back straight the entire time. At the top, give your glutes an extra squeeze. Use a controlled tempo during the exercise: aim for a 2-3 second count on the way down, 1-2 seconds on the way up.

# Lunge with Arm Reach

Stand tall with feet approximately hip-width apart and arms extended at chest height. Step forward with your right foot. As your weight comes down on your right leg, lean forward at your waist and reach with both hands at approximately knee height. Return to standing by pushing the right foot into the ground and driving the body back to the starting position. That's one rep. Repeat 6-10 times on the right leg, then do the same number on the left leg.

# Floor Jacks

Lie facedown on the floor or mat. Extend your arms and legs into an 'X' shape and then do 'jumping jacks' in this position (no actual jumping involved). Do 3 sets of 30 seconds. If you feel this move in your lower back, Richey recommends lowering your arms and chest to the floor and just doing the leg movement until you feel ready to add the upper body.

# The Uni-Leg Chair Squat

Start by sitting close to the edge of a chair with arms crossed, chest lifted, right foot solidly on the floor, and left leg elevated about 8 inches. Engage your abs and lean your torso slightly forward to prepare to stand. Dig your right heel firmly into the exercise mat (or floor), shift glutes backward (as you do in a regular squat), and straighten you right knee not quite to full extension while squeezing up on your glutes. Hold your left leg up off the mat and balance for 3 counts. Lower slowly and repeat. Do 2-4 sets of 10 reps on each leg.

# Quadruped Hip Extensions

Start on your hands and knees (quadruped position) with your knees below your hips and your wrists below your shoulders, fingers pointing forward. Keeping the core muscles engaged, slowly lift the left leg. Your knee should stay bent as you press your foot up toward the ceiling.

# Lunge Jump

Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Step your right leg back into a reverse lunge, going as low as you can while keeping your back straight and making sure your left knee doesn't go too far past the toe. Hold this lunge position for a 3 count then drive your right knee forward and upward.

# Booty Blaster

Stand at a chair, barre, or sturdy counter top. Place you forearm down on the barre and bend both knees. Keeping your knee bent, lift your outside leg behind your body until your thigh is almost parallel to the floor. Place the outside hand on the supporting thigh and resist as you extend the spine. Lift your raised leg up and down in small pulses, keeping the hip elevated to focus deep into the glutes. Do 2 sets of 20 small pulses on each leg.

# Pretzel Side Kick

Start seated with your right knee bent directly in front of your hip and left knee bent behind your left hip. Rotate your torso and place your hands on either side of your right knee. Brace your core as you lift your left knee and foot off the floor, keeping your chest lifted. Keep your left leg lifted and extend to kick, leg parallel to the floor. Bend your left knee back in and release it to the floor. That's one rep. Do 15-20 reps on each side.

# Box Step Squat

Bring your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, palms pressed together in front of your chest. Squat down until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Step your right foot out to right side as wide as possible, then bring your left foot in toward the right, coming back to starting position, still maintaining your deep squat. Step your right foot back, as wide as possible, then bring left foot back, maintaining the deep squat. Next, step your left foot out to left side as wide as possible, then bring your right foot in toward the left. Finally, step your right foot out to right side as wide as possible, then bring left foot in toward the right. That's one rep. Repeat 10 times.
