Our Top 10 Exercises to Tone Your Butt

Dumbbell Squats

A simple way to kick off even a quickie workout, these squats are powerful little moves. Over time, increase reps and dumbbell weight to amp them up.

Do it:

Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and 8- to 10-pound dumbbells by your thighs.
Squat down as if you were going to sit in a chair, keeping your weight over your heels.
Squeeze your glutes as you return to the start position.
Do 15-20 reps.
As you continue, keep the weight in your heels, making sure your knees do not pass forward of your toes.
For a bigger challenge, try it without the weights, jump explosively, and land in the squat position.
