Perk up your derriere and drag it out of its drooping, hibernating slumber with our guide to the 14 best butt exercises.

Exercise 1 — Romanian Deadlifts

How To:

Protocol: 12 reps

Target Muscle(s): Butt, Hamstrings

(1) Stand upright and hold a barbell in front of your body at thigh height. Place a slight bend in your knees, maintain a flat back, bend at the waist, and slowly slide the weight along the front of your legs until it reaches your shins. (2) Hold the stretch for 1s, powerfully contract your butt, and accelerate back up to starting position. (3) Unlike a traditional deadlift, your hips/butt don’t move vertically — keep them stationary and emphasize the stretch behind your knees during the downward part of the motion.
