We live in a world where physical appearance is one of the prerequisites for romance and dating. It doesn't matter if you're a girl or a woman who's trying to dominate cougar dating scene, you need to look your best in order to impress single men. Now, besides a pretty face and lovely breasts, the thing most men are looking for in a woman is a firm and attractive butt. However, considering that glutes are the largest muscle group in a human body, you'll have to work pretty hard in order to achieve the desired goals. Therefore, in order to help you, we decided to share with you some of the best butt exercises you can do at home on a daily basis.

Glute Bridge

For this particular exercise, you don't need fancy equipment or any kind of special environment. You can do it on your living room floor. All you have to do is lie on your back with knees bent. Make sure the width between your feet is the same as the width of your shoulders. Then, start raising your hips straight up off the ground. This move engages your glutes and strengthens your core. Keep your tushy in the air for a couple of seconds, then lower it down slowly back to the ground. Do series of ten repetitions and your butt will be grateful.

Hip Thrust

This is, without a doubt, one of the simplest and best butt exercises out there. Much like in the previous one, you also have to lie on your back, with your knees bent. However this time, your feet have to be hip-width apart. Make sure to place your hands on the ground directly beneath your shoulders, with your fingers facing away from your body. Squeeze your buttocks and lift your hips until your body forms a "table". Stay in that position for about five seconds, and then slowly lower your hips to the ground.

Step-Up

For this exercise, you'll need something to stand in front of, like a bench, step, or a simple chair. Place the left foot on the bench and step up, using your left glute muscle to lift your body. Whatever you do, do not use your right foot. Straighten your left leg until you're in a standing position, then slowly lower your body, right until you bend the left knee again. Do the same thing with your other foot on the step. A little warning, this exercises requires a bit more effort, but hey, if you want a perfect butt, you have to break some sweat, right?

All Types of Squats

We can't talk about butt exercises without mentioning the ultimate butt exercise - squats. This is the best exercise for the gluteus maximus. However, it's not only good for your butt, it also works your hips, thighs, and calves. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold some weights if your body weight is not enough for you. Then, bend the knees and lower your body into a squat. Make sure your knees stay behind your toes. Also, keep the torso upright and contracted at all times. Then, use your heels, glutes, and quadriceps to stand up. If squats are too much for your knees, feel free to do any one of the exercises we listed before squats. Every single one of them will help you tone your butt perfectly.
