How to Get A Butt Like Jennifer Lopez - Follow These 5 Mind Boggling Tips

Let's face it - Jennifer Lopez has the sexiest butt on this planet - it drives guys crazy with desire and makes girls go green with envy. So, how can you too get a butt like JLo? I can't say it will be a piece of cake; there is some hard work involved, but the compliments you receive will more than make up for all the hard work you've done.
Here are some exercises you can do to get that shapely and killer butt which will make you the center of attraction in no time.

Squats

Squats are one of the best exercises you can do to get your butt in shape. Stand with your feet apart, in line with your hips; keep your back straight, suck your abs in with the knees behind your toes. Now squat and while coming back to the standing position squeeze your butt. Do 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps each. If you wish to increase the intensity of the exercise, add weights.

Lunges

There are various types of lunges, such as front lunges, wheel lunges, side to side lunges, walking lunges, and reverse lunges. This exercise can be pretty challenging since it works on various groups of muscles at the same time, including the glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves. To make the exercise challenging, you can also raise your back foot on a platform or step.

Hip Extension

Hip extensions work on the largest muscles group of the body, the gluteus maximus. Hold a dumbbell and place it behind your knee. Alternatively, use ankle weights to increase the intensity of the exercise. If you are bored of the usual hip extension, you can do another interesting variation. Lie with your torso and hips supported by an exercise ball, place the hands on the floor and bend your knees. Then squeeze the glutes and point your feet straight up at the ceiling.

Leg Raises

Lie down flat on your back. As you inhale raise your legs. Exhale, and bring them down but don't let them touch the floor. Keep your legs about an inch or two above the ground. Repeat this at least 10 times and do two to three reps.

Cardiovascular Exercises

In addition to these exercises, you should also incorporate a variety of cardiovascular exercises in your workout routine. Swimming, jogging, riding an exercise bike, or walking briskly are excellent examples of cardiovascular exercises. A few variations in your regular cardiovascular routine will help tone your butt. For instance, instead of sitting down, stand up when riding your bike, pedaling as fast as you can.

A word of advice - before you begin exercising, make sure you warm up a bit. Ignoring to do so can cause muscle pull and strain. Spend a few minutes stretching your whole body and follow that with some light skipping. This will warm up your body and prepare it for the exercises that you are about to do. Now, go get that perfect butt you've always dreamed off.
