How To Get a Better Butt

First step for anyone you need to first analyze your food intake. For a great-looking butt (and body), it’s a must to be on a nutrition program that places you in a slight caloric deficit. In other words, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn. However, that doesn’t mean starving yourself and eating as little as possible.

You will be performing a tri-set for your routine. The tri-set refers to performing three exercises in a row without rest. The workout is challenging, so you must focus on impeccable form and concentrate completely on the muscles you’re working.

1. Broom Stick Squats

Start
-- Position yourself under the broom stick with the stick on your upper back. Make sure the stick is not resting on your neck.
-- Feet are shoulder-width apart with a slight bend in the knees.

Movement
-- Slowly begin to lower your body by bending from your hips and knees, stopping when your thighs are parallel with the floor.
-- Contracting the quadriceps muscles, slowly return to the starting position, stopping just short of your knees fully extending.

Key Points
-- Inhale as you lower down. Exhale while returning to the starting position.
-- Do not let your knees ride over your toes (you should be able to see your feet at all times).
-- Do not fully extend your knees when you return to the starting position.
-- It helps to find a marker on the wall to keep your eye on as you lift and lower. Otherwise, your head may tend to fall forward and your body will follow.
-- Think about sitting back in a chair as you are lowering down.
-- Push off with your heels as you return to the starting position.

Perform 20 repetitions and immediately go to the next exercise

2. Bent Leg Reverse Kick Up

Start
-- Start this exercise on your hands and knees on a mat. Raise your left leg up until it is parallel with the floor with a slight bend in the knee. Support your weight with your arms and right leg.

Movement
-- While contracting the butt, lift your left leg up and toward the ceiling, maintaining a bend in the knee.
-- Slowly return to the starting position.
-- After completing the set on the left side, repeat on the right side.

Key Points
-- To increase the difficulty, you may want to add an ankle weight to the working leg.

Perform 20 repetitions on each side and immediately go to the next exercise
3. Dumbbell Walking Lunges

Starting Position
-- Stand straight with your feet slightly spread apart.
-- Hold a dumbbell or cans in each hand with your arms down at your sides.

Movement
-- With control, slowly step forward with the right leg and lower the left leg until the knee almost touches the floor.
-- The step should be long enough that your left leg is nearly straight
-- Your chest should be lifted and your front leg should form a 90 degree angle at the bottom of the movement.
-- Your right knee shouldn’t pass your right foot.
-- Don’t let your knee touch the floor.
-- Raise yourself up then, push off with the left foot and take the same long step you did with the right leg.

Key Points
-- Inhale while stepping forward.
-- Exhale while rising up and pushing off the back foot.
-- Make sure your head is up and your back is straight.

Caution
-- Discontinue this exercise if you feel any discomfort in your knees.

Perform 15 steps with each leg in one direction and then turn around and go back to the start with 15 steps each leg again.

All three exercises are considered one cycle. Perform two cycles. Wait 90 seconds between cycles before repeating. Believe me, you’ll cherish those 90 seconds.

If you incorporate the above recommendations concerning nutrition, walking, strength training for the upper body as well as my specialty butt workout, you’ll see some great results.

Cheers,

Eve
