Are
you looking for ways to have a nice, firm butt?
Have
you ever seen people that have lost weight but still don’t have a nice, firm butt?
That’s
because they are focusing on all the wrong things.
I
know from experience…
I
used to be overweight. Even when I lost the weight I still had a saggy
butt.
But
after trying a million things, I finally figured out the secrets to lift a saggy butt. Now, I have
a nice, firm butt
that I love to show off in a bikini.
So
here’s my first secret:
Do
resistance butt training!
Now
by resistance, I mean actually using weight to put resistance on that muscle.
A
lot of women think that if they lift weights, they are going to get all bulky
and look like a man.
But
when you target the muscle with resistance weight training, it gets tighter and toner because muscle takes up much
less space than fat.
You’ll
see your clothes get looser and looser, as your butt gets tighter and tighter.
Don’t
worry if you are born with those “fat storing” genetics… so was I and I thought
I would never be able to lift my saggy butt. You’ll be AMAZED at how your
butt gets lifted and firm in no time.
This
next exercise I’m going to share with you is called a “rainbow”.
You
can find a nice comfortable mat or you can also do this on a
carpet. Just make sure that you’ve got some kind of protection for your
knees, even by putting a towel underneath.
What
we are going to do is grab a weight. I have a 15 pound weight here. You
can start with the five pound or a 10 pound weight, whatever feels comfortable.
The
most important thing is to put your muscle under resistance because that’s
going to get you more results even faster.
That’s
going to build that lean, tone muscle that gives you a really great shape to
your butt.
It’s
going to lift that saggy butt fast.
While
you are setting up for the “rainbows”, place your hands underneath your
shoulders.
Take
a moment to line up your wrists to your elbows and your shoulders and then
place your hands shoulder width apart. It’s really important that you have
a good foundation.
You
can feel all four corners of your hands and your knees, it’s all really nice
and balanced.
This
is going to prevent injury as well as isolate the butt
muscle.
So
I am going to show you the movement without the weight. It’s called a
“rainbow”.
You
are just going to lift your knee up to the side and then lower it down.
Now
I am going to add that weight resistance so that we really target the top of
the butt muscle.
It’s
called the gluteus muscle.
It’s
going to give you that nice, round, upward lift. You take the weight and
place it right behind your knee.
You
can see that this is going to give a nice, firm anchor so that I can lock my
knee tight. I am going to setup back in my form and take a moment to get
balanced.
Now
keeping that muscle engaged the entire time, I am going to lift the knee and
then lower.
Do
you feel the difference?
Let’s
do this five times. Make sure you are breathing, really isolating that butt
muscle. You can feel the top of the butt muscle rounding.
You
can feel how just a few exercises really get in there. That’s because we are
using the weight.
So
work up to doing 50 reps on each side. That’s going to really give you a tone, tight tush and lift your saggy butt.
Now
remember, there are lots of weight resistant butt exercises that you can do.
Keep
practicing and you will see results fast in the form of a nice, firm butt.
