Don’t ever look back — unless you are admiring your booty. Hey! If you worked for it, you can appreciate it.
Are you dreaming of a bum that fills out a good pair of jeans? Or maybe looking for a little extra shape to add to that cute dress? And don’t get me started on swimwear…
Everyone likes the idea of a firmer rear.
You can lift and tone up those glutes without having to spend a whole year doing it. You just need the right workouts and a little extra motivation.
Muscle Lesson
Ding ding ding! School is in session…
Before starting any workout — it’s good to review muscle anatomy to know what your target areas are going to be.
Gluteus Minimus
Gluteus Medius
Gluteus Maximus
Our rears are more than just superficial. They are essential to movement, posture, flexibility, and balance. Good, strong glutei should be a focal point in any workout plan.
Give yourself a body a boost by keeping that booty tight!
Glute Exercises
Now for the good stuff! Let’s look at some ways to firm, lift, and tone those glutes.
For the Minimus…
For the Medius…
For the Maximus…
Make sure with each exercise you have proper form and structure. Don’t be that person to roll your ankle on the first day — you want to be moving your booty, not sitting on it!
Get after it in a smart way and you will see progress.
Workout Plan
You’ve got the exercises — now it’s time to put a schedule together.
Here are some tips to get you started…
✓ Keep track! Have a calendar in front of you for each day of the week for the next 6 weeks.
✓ Rule of thumb — 6 days on, 1 day off. You need a rest day in order for your muscles to repair themselves.
✓ Pick 3 to 5 workouts that target different muscle groups and do them in sets of 3. Start out with a good amount of reps, but don’t go too high in the beginning.
✓ Each week, sets of 3 should stay the same, but reps should increase as you get stronger.
✓ Start with little to no added weight and add as you progress. You don’t want to strain or tear your muscles.
✓ Warm up, cool down, and ALWAYS stretch to prevent injury.
In these 6 weeks, make sure to stick to the plan. Set a timer. Put an alert on your phone. Do it with a partner so you can remind one another. Any way to make sure you are going to see the progress you are hoping for!
Goals
You know what you want. Why would you be on this page otherwise? Remember — progress takes dedication and determination. But you CAN get what you want in the time that you want if you stick with it.
