Sculpt Your Backside

This tush-targeted workout takes the science of how to tone the three muscles in the glutes to the maximus. “Do all nine exercises for a 360-degree shape-up or pick a few based on your particular trouble spot,” says Kate Albarelli, the creator of the signature Figure 4 class at Pure Yoga in New York City, who designed these proven butt blasters. (That’s Albarelli demonstrating the moves.) To shape more curves, try the Lift It! trio. Tighten your rear with the Shrink It! moves. Got saddlebags? Focus on the Trim It! section. Do two sets of each move you choose three times a week on nonconsecutive days.

Lift It: Carving Curl

Targets gluteus maximus and hamstrings

  • Lie facedown on floor with head on folded arms, squeezing a 1-pound dumbbell or rolled-up towel behind bent left knee, foot flexed. Tuck pelvis to flatten out low back.
  • Lift bent left leg a few inches off floor; lower. Do 20 reps.
  • Switch sides, repeat.
Lift It: Bend and Extend

Targets gluteus maximus and hamstrings

  • Stand in front of chair, bend over and place left hand on seat, right forearm atop chair back; tuck pelvis and extend left leg behind you, foot flexed.
  • Pulse left leg 10 times (lift and lower by 1 inch).
  • Keeping left leg lifted, bend knee and then extend 10 times; then trace 5 clockwise and 5 counterclockwise circles with leg.
  • Hold leg lift for 5 counts. Switch sides; repeat.
Lift It: Swaying Bridge

Targets glutei maximus, medius, and minimus, and hamstrings

  • Lie faceup on floor with knees bent, feet flexed with heels on floor and arms by sides; step heels out so legs are slightly wider than shoulder-width.
  • Lift hips so body forms a line from rib cage to knees (bra line stays on floor). Lower. Do 10 reps.
  • With hips lifted, sway hips from left to right as you squeeze glutes. Do 20 reps, alternating sides.
  • With hips lifted, do 20 pulses.
Shrink It: Slimming Swirl

Targets glutei maximus, medius, and minimus, and legs

  • Stand with heels together, toes out, holding chair back with right hand. Lift heels (still touching) off floor; bend knees 90 degrees out to sides.
  • Maintaining plié, tuck pelvis as you squeeze glutes and then arch your back slightly. Do 10 reps.
  • Draw 10 clockwise circles with hips, squeezing glutes to tuck position at 12 o’clock. Do 10 counterclockwise circles; finish with 10 more tucks.
Cross Your Legs

Targets glutei maximus, medius, and minimus and hamstrings

  • Start on floor on all fours.
  • Lift bent left knee to hip level so that it’s pointing slightly out to side as hips stay even. (Tuck pelvis under so that your back is not overextended.) Do 20 pulses, lifting and lowering left leg 1 inch.
  • Next, cross left knee behind right knee and then lift if out to left side at hip level. Do 10 reps.
  • Do 20 pulses, foot flexed. Switch sides; repeat.
Door Hinge

Targets glutei maximus, medius, and minimus

  • Standing, bend at hips to rest right forearm on chair back, and squeeze a rolled-up towel behind left knee, foot flexed; place left hand on hip
  • Tuck pelvis, lift left knee out to side; bring knee in toward chest and then behind you. Do 10 reps.
  • With knee behind you, do 20 press-back pulses: Bring left leg toward right 1 inch, then back again. Switch sides; repeat.
Trim It: Clamshell

Targets glutei maximus, medius, and minimus

  • Lie on right side and bend knees 45 degrees so they are in front of you; lift feet 12 inches off floor.
  • With heels together, raise left knee so it points up (clamshell position); lower knee. Do 10 reps.
  • Return to clamshell; keeping left knee raised, extend and then bend left leg 20 times. Return to clamshell, do 10 pulses (lift and lower left knee by 1 inch). Switch sides; repeat.
Trim It: Second-Position Pulse

Targets glutei maximus, medius, and minimus, and legs

  • Stand with feet wide, toes turned out, left hand holding chair back for support, right hand on hip.
  • Bend knees 90 degrees out to sides and, maintaining squat, open legs wider by pressing knees back 1 inch; then bring them back. Do 10 presses.
  • Lift toes off floor in squat position; do 10 more presses.
  • Finish with 10 presses on toes with heels lifted.
Trim It: Fly Trap

Marriage.

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a…

1. SKIP THE SODA
Plain and simple, soda provides nothing but empty calories, so it’s best to strike it from your diet entirely. Thinking of just switching to diet or low-cal soda? Think again. Studies have shown than the artificial sweeteners in diet soda may cause cancer. So just skip the soda altogether.
2. GO ORGANIC… A LITTLE
Organic food is expensive, but in some cases, well worth the extra expense when you’re trying to detox your diet. There are 12 foods that are so loaded with nasty pesticides and fertilizers and such they’re actually called the Dirty Dozen. It’s worth spending the extra cash on organic versions of these if you want to detox your diet. The Dirty Dozen are: apples, celery, strawberries, peaches, spinach, nectarines, grapes, bell peppers, blueberries, potatoes, lettuce, and kale. Note that there are also a number of foods you don’t necessarily have to buy organic, and just need a good washing, and they’re called the Clean Fifteen. They include foods we peel before we eat, like corn, avocados, and such.
3. FORGET FAST FOOD
Did you know that one fast food meal can contain all of the calories you should consume in an entire day? And that most of those calories are from fat? Not to mention that many outbreaks of deadly e coli contamination originate in undercooked or poorly handled fast food… play it safe and healthy and detox your diet by forgetting fast food.
4. BAN THE CAN
Prepared foods can also be very unhealthy, because they’re loaded with sodium and chemical preservatives to keep them tasting fresh and to keep them from spoiling on the store shelf. Prepared foods, like canned pasta and boxed meal kits are the worst offenders, so if you want to detox our diet, ban the can… and the box!
5. GO FOR GRAINS
White bread is not only tasteless and flimsy, it’s also been leeched of its nutrients, literally, with bleach. Yuck! Whole grain bread, on the other hand, is made with the nutrient-rich whole grain (as the name implies) and is not bleached. It’s also filled with fiber, a dieter’s friend, which makes you feel fuller, longer, and aids in healthy digestion. Bonus! So swap your nasty white bread for wholesome, tasty whole grains instead. Instant detox!
6. TEST YOUR WATER
My tap water is tasty, but I recently found out that it’s got unhealthy levels of certain contaminants, so I now use a filtering system. When you think about it, safe drinking water is another great way to detox your diet, because we use it for so much more than drinking… like cooking, cleaning, washing… you name it! If you haven’t done so recently, have your tap water tested, or buy a kit and do it yourself.
7. RINSE WELL
Speaking of water and detoxing, it’s a good idea to wash your hands before and after you handle food, and to wash the food itself before you use it! Rinsing and washing well, and often, will help prevent the spread of nasty food-borne contaminants.
