Hi, I’m Bonnie Kaye. Firm, tight buns would be nice. But how do you
get’em? Here are some quick tips you can do just about anywhere.
----------------------------
bk & Kerry Czaskos
bk: “Okay Kerry, all of America wants to know. How do you get better
buns?
Kerry: Well, my suggestion would be squats. Feet shoulder width apart.
Butt moves first. Back. Come down, and squeeze your glutes all the way
up. Then release. Knees don’t come over toes.
--------------------------------
bk track 1
You can place your hands on your hips or thighs, or extend your arms
outward to make it more challenging. Your thighs should be parallel to
the floor, at about a 90-degree angle, and your back in a neutral
position. Do as many as you can do correctly, with good posture, until
your muscles get fatigued. Thirty in a row is a good goal to aim for.
---------------------------------
Kerry:
Another one of my favorites are plies.
-----------------------------------
bktrack 2
Plies work your glutes and your inner thighs. Again, thighs should
come to about a 90-degree angle.
------------------------------------
bktrack 3
And a third exercise for firmer buns...lunges.
Keeping your back straight, lunge forward, making sure your knees
don’t extend past your toes, adding your arms for balance.
If you have knee problems, you can modify the exercise by lunging backward,
taking some of the pressure off your knees.
