5 Moves to Round, Tone, and Lift Your Butt in Your 40s

According to physical trainers, the gluteal muscles can even grow faster than other muscles, if they are exercised properly. That is why they are so specific and must be followed to the letter.

According to a study published by the National Institute of Health of the United States, the gluteal muscles are divided into: gluteus maximus (upper), gluteus medius and gluteus minimus (where the gluteus curvature ends).

Some exercises work all muscles, but others are very specific to each need. That is why it is very important to do a complete training, because otherwise you will not see the results you expect.

If you want to lift your butt again and forget about cellulite and flaccidity, in this article we show you five movements that lift your buttocks and make them grow after 40:

1. Donkey kick

Start on all fours on a yoga mat. Make sure your knees are below your hips and your hands are below your shoulders. Bring your spine to a neutral position and draw your shoulder blades down and back.
Inhale.
Exhale. Keeping your knee bent, release and raise your right leg until your thigh is in line with your spine, making sure your foot remains flexed.
Inhale. Lower your right leg to return to the starting position, but without resting your knee on the mat.

Complete 10 reps on the same side, before repeating the remaining reps on the other side.

2. Squat with punch
