Easy Bun Workouts for the Couch Potato

You don't want to miss the next episode of Law and Order, or House, or South Park. Understood. But you also don't want a rear end the size of Alaska. So, what's a girl to do?

Unlike the breasts, which are made primarily of fat, the buttocks are made primarily of three muscles - the gluteus maximus (largest), the gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus. Muscles respond well to toning exercises, so if you follow a bun workout program, you'll soon have a firm, shapely bun. And when are you supposed to find time for this kind of exercise, you ask? Well, rather than skipping commercials, why not use each commercial break to do a different bun workout? You won't miss a minute of your television programs, but by the end of the episode, you'll have had a good bun workout.

What exercises can you do? Here are a couple easy bun workouts that you can do to get you in shape fast:

Bun Workout #1: Lift and Balance

Start out on your hands and knees. Stretch your right leg out behind you, keeping your toes on the floor. While squeezing your buns together, raise your right leg to hip level.

Hold for five seconds. Then return to starting position and repeat with the left leg.

Bun Workout #2: Stairs

Yep, just walking up and down a set of stairs can be a great bun workout. If you live in a two-story home or if your home has a basement, you can walk up and down the stairs and it won't cost you a thing. If your home does not have a set of stairs anywhere, you may want to invest in an exercise bench. If you're using a bench, step up with your right foot, draw your left foot up onto the bench beside your right foot. Step back with the right foot, and so forth.

You don't have to be a hardcore exercise fanatic who works out for hours every day to have firm buns. A few minutes of your television time will do quite nicely.
