The Best Butt Exercises For A Booty That Won't Quit
For many women, perfecting the best butt-workout can seem like an uphill battle. And similar to the push of a boulder uphill, it is very easy to watch everything fall out of place when you have a misstep with the wrong workout routine. So, how can you get the chiseled, goddess, Beyoncé-like bum you've been struggling for? Well, it's simple, and believe it or not, it requires nothing more than some dumbbells and exercise ball.
Click through the slideshow below to check out the top exercises to get a more sculpted, toned booty that won't quit all year long.
*For each workout, choose a combination of at least eight different exercises. Complete 10-15 repetitions, and two to three sets.
Dumbbell Squat to Press
Here's how it's done:
Stand with your feet hip-distance apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in the rack position. Squat down, keeping your weight on your heels and your butt and down. As you stand back up, press the dumbbells up from your shoulders to overhead. Then, lower back down and repeat.

UnPrisonedhas returned for its highly anticipated second season, delving deeper into the complex dynamics of the Alexander family.
The series premiere comes a year after its debut season garnered rave reviews from fans and critics and earned record-breaking ratings for Hulu's Onyx Collective brand. UnPrisoned's success can be attributed to its raw, relatable themes and comedic appeal.
Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan's life, the show follows Paige (Kerry Washington), a therapist and single mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father, Edwin (Delroy Lindo) --who was released from prison-- moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).
Throughout UnPrisoned's first season, viewers witnessed how Edwin's incarceration deeply affected Paige's life and relationships. In the series, Paige unpacks her trauma through interactions with her inner child and her online followers. Meanwhile, Edwin is overcoming specific struggles with his own past that led to his life of crime, including a dysfunctional upbringing and his mother's arrest. As the Alexanders attempt to reconcile, new challenges arise.
This new season promises to further explore their unconventional family dynamic. Here are several compelling reasons why season two of UnPrisoned should be on everyone's watchlist.
The Alexander Family Life Is Still In Shambles
UnPrisoned's second season resumes where the series left off, with Paige grappling with the fallout from her troubled therapy practice and Edwin navigating life independently after moving out. Meanwhile, Finn faces his own challenges. The teenager is battling anxiety and seeking information about his father—a topic Paige avoids discussing.
The Alexander Family Are Attending Therapy To Resolve Their Underlying Issues
Amid the chaos in their lives, the Alexander family decides to mend their bond by confronting their past traumas. They seek professional help and attend therapy sessions with a “family radical healing coach,” played by John Stamos, a new cast member. This collective effort aims to unravel the complexities of their shared history and strengthen their relationships.
The process of unraveling each character's internal conflicts and their potential impact on future relationships may clash with Paige's textbook therapy approach. While Paige is used to being in the therapist's seat in both career and family, this forces her into the unfamiliar role of a patient during therapy sessions. This shift would compel her to look in the mirror and try a radically different approach.
The Alexander Family Learned A Big Lesson During A Therapy Session
In therapy, the Alexanders are tasked with addressing their individual traumas to salvage their remaining relationships. One of the family therapist’s eccentric suggestions was an exercise involving a family wrestling match. During this session, Paige faces tough questions about her refusal to share information about Finn's father.
While it's unclear whether this scene is reality or fantasy, the image of the family duking it out in the ring certainly makes for hilarious yet compelling television.
Paige Tries Dating Again Following Failed Relationships
Amid her life's chaos, Paige decides to step back into the dating field. However, her many attempts have left her with mixed results. The dating apps have turned out to be a fail, and an outing with her ex Mal (Marque Richardson), who is also her father's parole officer, doesn’t go quite as expected after he brings an unexpected guest – his new girlfriend.
The situation takes an awkward turn when Mal's new partner learns why the former couple split, partly due to Paige's self-sabotage.
UnPrisoned Is A Perfect Balance Of Comedy And Drama
As a dramedy, UnPrisoned takes a comedic approach to its heavy subjects. The show takes us on a ride with Paige's dating misadventures and navigating a friendship with her ex.
Other lighthearted moments include Edwin's attempts at CPR based on online videos and, of course, the antics of the Alexander family's unconventional new healing coach.
The second season of UnPrisoned is now available on Hulu.

Part 2: I Went To The Spa For A Deep Tissue Massage But Got A 'Happy Ending' Instead
As Told To is a recurring segment on xoNecole where real women are given a platform to tell their stories in first-person narrative as told to a writer.
This is Q's story, as told to London Alexaundria.
This was my second time going to see him because the time before, that was probably a few weeks in between. So it had been some time. I wasn't sure if he really remembered me or not, but I wanted to go back. Not just because of the happy ending, per se, but because he really was a good massage therapist. He really did know what he was doing as far as taking away pain.
So I went back and he seen me. He recognized me; he was like, 'Hey, I ain't seen you in a while.' I said, 'Yeah, I know been busy.' Anyway, he goes through the usual; tells me to go in, get comfortable. I can either keep something on or get undressed like he told me the first time, whichever one I prefer, and I can either lay on top of the bed or underneath the covers.

And I got in, I got completely undressed like I did the first time, and I laid down. I told him my problem areas because, again, I wanted another deep tissue massage, and so he was doing my massage, and I'm not gonna lie, there was a moment while I was getting the massage I was hoping that he would do the same thing that he did last time, but he didn't necessarily do that.
He started with my back, and then he went to my buttocks, then my thighs, and then calves, and when he did my inner thighs, he didn't play with me or anything like that. He kept it professional. He kept doing a massage and went to my feet.
But when he told me to turn over, he massaged my temples, and then he went to my décolletage, or chest area, and he massaged that. Then he went down and did my thighs and my shins at the top. And as he's massaging me, and I'm relaxed, I feel him kissing me on my inner thighs. He goes from kissing me on my inner thighs to kissing me on my vagina.
Then started licking my vagina. Then he ate me out until I came. And afterwards, I literally was just shaking because he felt so good. Not only was my body just relaxed, but he was really good at giving oral sex too.
Him, eating me out was amazing. He didn't expect anything in return, and he literally went back to massaging me like nothing ever happened, and then told me how good I taste and how great he thinks I am.
He has asked to hang out before. I have not hung out with him because I just wanted to keep it, just there, and since then, I have not been back, but I'm strongly considering going to see him again, because it was amazing.
