How to build a better booty


How to build a better booty

 

How to build a better booty you say?  With SQUATS.  And lots of em.  NOTE: the above photos are not of my booty….a baby and breast feeding deflated my booty so I am rebuilding it using the below tips and tricks!!

There are many different variations of squats that will help lift, round and shape your booty.  Looking for a booty challenge?  Check out these booty challenges

But squats are not the only way to build that booty.  A few other moves to add to your daily exercise routine are:

  • Step ups
  • lunges
  • stairs
  • Shoulder bridges, or one leg bridges
  • Fire hydrants
  • Donkey kicks, or standing donkey kicks (use a resistance band for more bang for your booty)
  • The Clam (think Thighmaster without the contraption…squeeze your buttocks…really squeeze it…LOL)
  • Deadlifts, Roman Deadlifts

Having a strong rear is not only more attractive…think about your favorite jeans and how awesome they will look with a fuller bottom, it will help your body run (walk, jump, skip or prance) more effectively.  Our glutes are in charge of a lot of motion for our bodies, and anything we can do to help our bodies be more efficient is always worthwhile.

New & Improved 30 Day ab & Squat Challenges – Day 23


Happy Monday kids!!

Here’s your day 23

Keep in mind that for the Abs challenge the additional sets are optional!  1 run though at this point is pretty challenging…but push through more if you can.  I like to break my sets up throughout the day, it keeps me moving all day and then I don’t forget about it!

I will admit that I have been struggling the last week or two.  I have had the worst vertigo the last few weeks, not sure why…so it’s affected my balance and made those squats, especially the pistol squats very difficult.  I fall…a lot.  So if that is you too…you are not alone.

If you are still working this challenge…you are amazing.  I won’t lie…this one has been really hard for me.  As we are wrapping this one up this week, there is another challenge starting over at Yogadownload.com, check out the 21 Day Spring Bootcamp going on in this post.
