Workouts specifically designed to target your glutes

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Amanda Butler makes no bones about it - her burn class at BFX Studio targets the tush.

"I have a little backside myself, so my clients do ask me how I get it," says Butler, "to get that perky backside, squats can be a girl's best friend."

Add a little bit of weights to amp it up, and throw in jumps for cardio or a medicine ball to change it up. There are also lunges and floor work that are made more challenging with sliding disks.

"There's a huge emphasis on curves thanks to Beyonce, J-Lo and Kim Kardashan," adds Butler.

With moves like in Butler's class, you will be on your way.

Eyewitness News had to bleep out the name of Cassandra Ayala's class, but it is a three-letter word for derriere. The class at David Barton's Gym is only 30 minutes, but it is a doozy.

Weights play a big part in the workout. The deadlights are deadly, and break out the step, and make it super high. Floor work gets the addition of a barbell, as if it wasn't already challenging enough - this works the glutes, and that means a better butt.

Forget wiping off that sweat - in Cassandra Ayala's class, towels are used as props.
