Daisy Duke
butt exercises will help you look good in any pair of jeans.
Daisy Duke is a term first used to describe the shorts worn by a attractive television actress named Catherine Bach on the show "Dukes of Hazard." Ms. Bach's well-developed derriere has inspired others to do butt exercises like lunges, squat stretches and rear leg lifts. All so they, too, can wear Daisy Duke shorts without too much embarrassment.
Lunges
One of the easiest exercises to do is lunges. Lunges can be done without fancy equipment, without a gym membership and almost anywhere. All you need is enough space to be able to step one foot in front of the other in an overreaching way, as if you are 'lunging' forward in one giant step. You want to hold this position for just a moment before pulling the left-behind leg forward to catch up. Regain your balance and start the process all over again with the other leg.
Repeat the process for a total of six repetitions per leg and then take a rest. Do a total of three sets of six reps every day for a quick Daisy Duke look. If balance is difficult, you can hold a nearby stair rail or chair as you lunge forward. To increase the speed of which you see results, add a 5 or 10 lb. hand-held weight to each hand as you take each lunge forward.
Squat Stretch
Squat stretches can also be done almost anywhere without the need of a gym membership or specialized equipment (so you'll have more money to spend on those Daisy Dukes!). The squat stretch is something that will likely require some measure of privacy as well as clothing that allows for movement. Unlike squats done by professional body builders, the squat stretch does not use a barbell.
Clasp your hands in front and place your legs shoulder width apart, lower your body as far down toward the floor as you can without lifting the heels of your feet. Hold the position for approximately 30 seconds to a minute before standing up and repeating the process. Like lunges, squat stretches should be done in repetitions of six per set, with a total of 3 sets per day.
Kneeling Rear Leg Lift
The kneeling rear leg lifts offer another way to firm the butt. Kneel on the floor with your palms flat on the floor beneath your arm---make sure they are extended slightly in front of your shoulders. Bend the knee and lift the leg slowly, with a flat foot facing the ceiling. Lower the bended knee almost to the ground before repeating the exercise. Keep the knee bent and the foot flat and facing the ceiling throughout each of 10 to12 repetitions. Don't rest the knee on the floor between reps and make sure to keep your back straight, not arched, throughout the exercise for maximum butt effect. Repeat exercise for other leg.
