Along with squats and lunges, one of my favorite butt-lifting exercises is hip abduction. Don’t be alarmed: It looks a little silly but it’s very effective. If you’ve ever noticed why Speed Skaters have such great butts it’s because they are doing hip abduction while skating.
The Butt Starts Here
The most common exercise for hip abduction is with a hip abduction machine, which allows you to abduct your legs while seated, working all three glute muscles at once. I rarely see people using this machine. Don’t underestimate it! Find it, wipe off the dust, and prepare to work your ass. Spread your legs outward against the machine’s resistance, as if you were doing the splits. Stop when you can no longer keep the motion under control. Resist, and let the machine slowly push your legs back together. 3 or 4 sets of 12 to 15 should do the trick.
Now that we’ve covered three of my favorite butt exercises (read my last two blogs), it’s time to put them all together into a workout. Try all three and develop an amazing ass!

hip abduction is where you move your leg away from your body at the hip sideways either seated, standing, lying down, or in a machine.
