The Butt Workout: Exercises to Sculpt a Better Backside
October 9, 2011 – 4:18 pmAll women want it: That shapely, sculpted, and defined butt we see in the magazine ads for cellulite cream. Closets full of skinny jeans and miniskirts have us focused more than ever on lifting, tightening, and shaping our behinds.
“It’s beautiful to be symmetrical,” says Pilates guru Siri Dharma Galliano, who helped Carrie-Anne Moss get her sculpted buns to play Trinity in The Matrix movies.
“Round is nice; square isn’t so nice. It’s an aesthetic thing,” says Galliano, owner of Live Art Pilates in Los Angeles.
Yet our glutes do more than just help us look good in our clothes. The butt consists of three main muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus.
