A perfect figure for every woman, in most cases, implies a perfect backside too. Most Indian women have a tendency to first put on weight on their buttocks and it can be quite a task to get rid of the weight from there. Here are 5 power-packed exercises that could help you shape up that troublesome area.

Hips abduction, as the name suggests, is effective for your hips and your outer thighs. It tones down the area into a much leaner figure. This emphasizes on balancing your body on either side, only with your elbow. This would require you to lied own on your mat, so choose your space accordingly.

This exercise is equipment free. You can choose a space you like - your room, office, park, gym, etc. All you need is your balance intact and the right technique. A back-sprain or a leg pull is the last thing you want during your exercise routine. Lunges are meant to tone your glutes as well as your thigh muscles, giving you a shapely lower body.To start with,you should be through doing this with a minimum of 10 times and proceed to 3 such sets. You could experiment with variations, once you are comfortable with the basic technique.

If you are not proud of your wide hips, get jumping now. Side jumps work on the butt-shaping muscles. Keep doing this for at least 10 counts and then take a short pause and continue again for 2 more reps.

Squats, like lunges, are easy and have no limitation on where they can be done. This form of exercise is a powerful trick to get those coveted shapely buttocks. Regular and break-free squats will show faster results. Go at a stretch with 20 such squats at a time and only let it increase. Do them with or without weights. They help strengthen the surrounding areas, as well such as the bones, ligaments and tendons.

Leg crossover or leg scissor is an exercise to deal with buttocks and your inner-thighs. Moving in a cross over activity, the abductor muscles in your outer thighs push your legs away from your body, while the abductor muscles in your inner thighs bring your legs toward each other. This movement is beneficial to build on muscle tissue, improving your metabolism rate.
