Leg Exercises and Butt Exercises: How to Lose Cellulite and Fat
Exercise 3: Step Up
[A] Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold
them at arm’s length at your sides. Stand in front of a bench or step
that’s about knee-height, and place your left foot firmly on the step.
[B] Press your left heel into the step and push your body up until your left leg is straight and you’re standing on one leg on the bench, keeping your right foot elevated. Lower your body back down until your right foot touches the floor. That’s one repetition. Do all your reps with your left leg, then do the same number with your right leg.
If that’s too hard: Try the exercise with just your body-weight.
Add variety: Stand sideways, with your right leg next to step. Then cross your left foot in front of your right leg and place your left foot on the step. Now perform a step up. Focus on really pressing your left heel into the step to push yourself up.

Bonus: The Best Exercise for Your “Bum Smile”
Never heard of the bum smile? "That’s what I call the
line where your glutes meet your hamstrings," says Valerie. Here’s her
pick for the best way to target that area.
The Exercise: Straight-leg Dead lift [A] Grab a pair of dumbbells with an overhand grip, and hold them at arm's length in front your thighs. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
[B] Without changing the angle of your knees, bend at your hips (keep your lower back arched), and lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor [C] Pause, then squeeze your glutes, thrust your hips forward, and raise your torso back to the start
Make it harder: Perform the exercise while balancing one leg. Do all your reps, then repeat with your other leg.
