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 looks best on someone that has a little “junk in the trunk.” And don’t think people aren’t looking because they are! In order to get jeans to look their best on you then it’s important to know the proper steps to sculpting your lower body.

When setting out to work on your booty with a butt workout, you should consider that variations of tried-and-true moves, like squats and lunges can help you breakthrough 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 musculature 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 gluts (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 press, rear and front lunges, and walking lunges are all great examples.

Keep in mind that when doing any of the exercises above one should keep proper form by making sure your knees don’t jet out over your toes when squatting or lunging. Make sure to keep your posture erect and squeeze all the muscles that are working with tension. Also, keep your core engaged on all exercises. Practice and stay consistent on your butt workout and you will soon discover that your well-rounded workout routine will lead to a well-rounded and attractive booty!

When I listen to a speaker, even if I get just one or two things from them, it’s a success. I don’t expect you to do everything I say, just take the things that work for you. Take a few nuggets and apply them to your life and you’ll start seeing dramatic results. Now the name of this article is Pleasure vs. Pain. If you think about it, there are really only two reasons why we do anything, either it is pleasurable or it is painful. If things cause pleasure, that’s what we tend to move toward. If it causes pain, we move away from it.
