Not everyone is lucky enough to be born with the curvy joymount that stops traffic. Even those that are so blessed have to contend with mean ol’ Mr. Gravity at some point. But, there is hope. With some sweat and dedication, your ass can be a vision to behold. Or just to hold.

Here are four surefire exercises to perk up your posterior.

The Deadlift: This classic is performed by bending at the knees and grasping a barbell in front of you. It’s suggested you wear a weight belt while doing this exercise. Lift with your legs while keeping your back straight. To really work your assterpiece, do high reps with less weight

The Squat: Wear a weight belt and have a spotter. Place padding or a towel around the barbell where it will rest on your neck. Resting the bar on the back of your shoulders with your spotter behind you, grasp the bar evenly overhand. Stand up the rest of the way and step back. Squat down until your thighs are parallel with the floor and stand up fully while keeping your feet flat on the floor. Do high reps and low weight.

The Leg Press: Use a leg press machine. With your legs, push the leg press out and let it back in again. Do high reps and low weight. Always do to exhaustion.

Gluteus Flexing: A simple exercise that can be done anytime, anywhere that you do not care who sees you working that ass. Tighten and release the muscles of your gluteus maximus. Do them fast or slow. Do as many reps as you want.
