How do you tell if you have a bubble butt?
The challenge in developing a bubble butt, is that many leg
exercises which will increase your glutes will also increase your
hamstrings and quads. If you don't want big legs to go along with
the big butt, then you need to emphasize the glutes.
I find that I really get a burn in my glutes when I do sumo
squats, going way down, nearly touching my butt to the floor. This
works the butt a lot more than an ordinary squat. My gym just put
in a Hack Squat machine. It really works the butt. When you do leg
presses, remember that placing your feet forward works the butt
more, while placing the feet farther back on the platform works the
quads more. Leg lifts are very good for the butt. Don't ignore the
gluteus medius, which is the smaller of the two butt muscles, which
is at the top of the butt. You can work it by doing hip abductions,
either lying on your side, or in a machine.
Walking or running uphill, Bicycling and Skating are all
exercises which build the butt.
