Remember, you build what you focus on. When doing any exercise, you need to focus and contract your butt muscles all the time. What is great is you can also combine your leg and butt training as a few exercises coincide.

These 5 butt building exercises will help strengthen your hip and glute areas and develop that sexy butt that you always wanted.   .

Stiff Legged Deadlifts
Stand with your feet wide apart, your toes pointing out, and your hands clasped together in front of your pelvis. Bend your knees as you bend forward from your hips. Make sure you keep your lower back straight. Reach back between your legs and stick out your butt. Try to bring your knees as close to your chest as possible. Stand up straight up, fully extending your hips and knees, and thrust your pelvis forward squeezing your butt at all time. Repeat this movement about 15–20 times. This exercise can be enhanced by using weights.

Lunges
This is another great exercise to butt building. Alternate steps forward and return to centre each time. Bring your back knee within one inch of the floor to target those butt muscles. The added stress placed on the glute muscles due to trying to balance mainly on one leg will build butt muscle and also help build the smaller supporting muscles of the rear. You can do “walking” lunges to add more to this exercise.  It will work your leg muscles as well as your glute muscle for that full toned leg look.
Next, try the backwards lunges.  This is where you step backwards rather that forward like the power lunge.
Start by standing upright, hands on hips and step forward with your right leg as far as possible until your right thigh is as horizontal as you can go, keeping your left leg straight. Then powerfully step back to standing, aiming to get knee up to your chest. Swap legs.

Barbell Squat
The barbell squat is one of the best exercises to build butt muscleFor the squat to target your butt muscle, you must squat below lower than your knees. Although many experts recommend squatting above parallel to avoid stress on the knees, getting a few inches lower can really help build butt muscle as those few inches really hit the glutes. You’ll need to lower your weight a bit lighter than usual so you can handle the extra range of motion.  This is enhanced by using weights as well.

Hip Extensions
Hip extensions are consistently shown to be one of the best exercises for developing the backside, as it focuses on contracting the glutes muscles. The best technique for hip extensions is to get into a position on hands and knees and then lift one leg up keeping the knee at a right angle. Stop when the flat of the foot is facing the ceiling, and remember not to arch your back. The addition of ankle weights can increase the difficulty and therefore increase muscle developments.
Side Leg Raises
First lie down on a mat. Then place your feet at the front edge of your mat, then lift your upper leg and turn it out it in the hip socket. Keep your hips stacked and your torso as still as possible, lift and lower the leg, reaching out from the top of the thigh. Repeat this a few times.

Kick Back
The kickback is yet another very effective exercise for your butt. Position yourself on a mat with hands and feet making sure that your weight is evenly distributed. Draw one knee forward and then extend your leg straight behind you. Make sure this is done in a smooth and gentle motion.
There you have it!  5 Best butt building exercises to get that toned back side that you have always wanted.  The best part of all of this is whether it’s a leg day or butt day, so many of these exercises cover both muscle areas!  So you can either do your butt routine with or without your leg routine.  It’s that simple.  Just because you’re a guy, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to work this part of your body!  Everybody loves a tight butt!
