Walking Workout: A Firmer Butt in 30 Minutes
Tone Your Rear While You Walk
Surprise: Your average walk is not a workout for your derriere. "Walking on level terrain does not require you to fully contract the gluteal muscles, so it doesn't do much for toning them," says Wayne Westcott, PhD, fitness research director at the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, Massachusetts. That's because the work is mostly in your quads and hamstrings.
The Routine
"For the best butt toning on two feet," says walking pro Tina Vindum, walk for 5 minutes, do one of the supereffective shapers shown here, then repeat until you've done all four exercises. (If your route has hills, tackle these moves every time the path hits an incline -- or a set of stairs -- for maximum butt-blasting benefits.)

10/28/2011 07:37:02 PM Report Abuseok tell me exactly who is going to go walking down the street in their neighborhood doing any of these??? Whether plus size, skinny model 0-6 or even size 8-14, these are just too ridiculous to do in public. perhaps that is why there is not any video, just stills because they could not stop laughing long enough to shoot a serious video.
