If you're starting to pull out your cool-weather clothes or heading to the mall to pick up few fall fashion pieces, chances are you're going to be debating denim. Before you slip on a pair of jeans, however, you might want to get your behind in just the right shape for filling them out. That's Fit.ca lists 10 exercises for a firmer, rounder, jean-worthy butt.

Squats are named as the go-to exercise for the buns, lunges are tops, and step-ups will score you glutes of steel. Don't forget hip extensions and one-legged dead lifts -- and be sure to incorporate glute extensions and exercises with a stability ball into your routine. Aim for two to three sets of 12 to 15 reps every other day for each of these. Then fold in some fencing, kickboxing, running, walking or hiking, and there's no way your bum won't benefit.

Even if you don't have the butt you've always dreamed of, StyleList says there are jeans to flatter every figure.

Thanks for the info Marnie. I am a walker too. I walk for at least 20 minutes every day and definitely feel it has made a difference in my booty as well as just overall burning calories. I just wish I could afford a pair of True Religions to put my firmer booty into!

I love walking and think my butt is getting jeans worthy! I live in New York City and instead of taking the subway 30 blocks downtown, I will walk. My trainer recommended exercise insoles that fit into my sneakers and shoes that work to increase circulation and burn calories. It's similar to the heel that's in some of the expensive exercise shoes. I wear them everywhere I go, they're really comfortable, and I felt the difference in my but and legs almost immediately. I'm always looking for ways to enhance weight loss and who doesn't want to burn more calories while just walking? They're called Smartsole exercise insoles http://www.Smartsole.com I saw the discount code MB10 for 10% off on a fitness board at Prevention Magazine.
