Your Butt Workout Should be “Well-Rounded”

A firm, well-rounded booty is what most men and women aspire to achieve in their aesthetic goals. Let’s face it. A good pair of jeans look best on someone who has a little ‘junk in the trunk’. And don’t think people aren’t looking because they are! To make your jeans look their best on you, understanding the essential steps for sculpting your lower body is crucial.

When setting out to work on your booty with a butt workout, you should consider variations of tried-and-true moves, like squats and lunges. These variations can aid in breaking through a plateau and help in strengthening your entire lower body.

You may be asking yourself, “Why is Wendie telling me about an entire lower body workout when I only want to do a butt workout?” Well, the answer goes back to the old song that starts out, “The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone’s connected to the hip bone.” You get the idea. The same goes for your muscular system – it’s all connected. When you work your hamstrings (back of the legs) and the quadriceps (front of the legs) then you will also be engaging the glutes (butt), hence getting a butt workout!

My suggestion would be to perform moves that force you to engage small, stabilizing muscles in the lower body in order to work the larger muscle groups to their max. Squats, walking side-squats, one-legged presses, rear and front lunges, and walking lunges are all great examples. Do them “Visibly Fit” style by using your body as your gym…using tension and flexion with every move. You will benefit greatly.

Maintain proper form during these exercises, ensuring your knees do not extend past your toes when squatting or lunging. Focus on maintaining correct posture and alignment to prevent unnecessary strain and promote effective muscle engagement. Make sure to keep your posture erect and squeeze all the muscles that are working, don’t just go through the motion. Additionally, engage your core throughout all exercises to enhance stability and overall effectiveness. With consistent practice, you’ll find that a comprehensive workout routine contributes to a shapely and appealing booty.
