Once you firm your butt with exercises, it stays firm. Pants look so much better on a firm butt. Targeted exercises can firm your butt in just two months. I know all this from personal experience. After going through most of my life with a flabby butt, I firmed it up in just two months, with exercises. I only wish I had done those exercises years ago.
You only need a little portion of a pool, a lake, or the ocean to do these exercises. The water only needs to be waist deep on you. You will be moving your legs, but you will stay in the same place in the water. A public pool will do fine, even while other people have “free swim” time. Even a small dough boy style pool will work. Of course, you can firm your butt in deep water, too.
Here is how to firm your butt with exercises in the water:
In simple words: Work your arms in and out in front of you while you work your legs in and out behind you. Below I describe what each body part is doing, so that you can picture this in your mind.
Head: Your head stays above the water. All during the exercises, you breathe normally. Well, you might breathe a little harder than normal. Sometimes, I blow out the air quickly with my mouth, if I am exercising really hard.
Belly: Your belly is toward the bottom of the pool.
Arms: The arm motion you do is called “skulling”. Your arms don’t move very far. They stay extended out in front of you. You elbows stay straight. 1) Face your palms toward each other and bring your arms together. 2) Face your palms away from each other and bring your arms about two feet apart. Keep repeating this. You can also firm your butt while holding the side of a pool with your arms. Use your arms to get your legs extended straight out behind you. All during the exercise, keep using your arms to keep your legs up behind you.
Butt: Your butt stays just below the surface of the water, a foot or so under.
Legs: You legs remain extended behind you. Your legs stay straight. Don’t bend your knees. I point my toes, but I’m not sure this matters. 1) Open your legs out to your sides as far as you can. 2) Force Your legs closed again, as hard as you can. Keep repeating this.
I did these exercises in the deep end of the YMCA pool. I did them during my lunch hour, every weekday. I was able to get 25 minutes of actual exercise time in each weekday. I noticed my butt had become firm after two months of this. An advantage to skulling instead of holding the side of the pool was that most of the soreness in my arms and back went away, too. I work at the computer a lot, and my arms get sore with the repetition.
