To firm your butt, hold a pair of eight to 15-pound dumbbells at shoulder height. Holding dumbbells at shoulder height challenges core muscles, such as glutes, more than holding dumbbells to your sides. While holding dumbbells, perform 15 repetitions of lunges or squats. Rest. Repeat two times to complete the circuit.
