Everyone wants one, right? No… not a taco. A better, rounder, higher, tighter BUTT. If you are looking to build your dream body, here are 5 easy steps to a better butt fast…
Resistance Band Sets
Whether you workout with weights or you use your body weight to bring on a lean muscle look, resistance band sets can be a terrific addition to building a better butt. Side steps work wonders. You will also find that kickbacks and squats can be made more complicated with bands. For faster growth, pair bands with weights for more resistance and muscle gain.
Protein
If you want to see results, then get yourself to the kitchen. Your body needs a lot of extra protein to grow larger muscles. A good rule of thumb is to try to consume foods like chicken, nuts, peanut butter or protein shakes within 30 minutes after your workout. Some experts say there is no window for getting in a large dose of protein, but for years it has been believed that your muscles would intake the protein better if consumed post-workout. However, remember to continue consuming protein throughout the day. 80 to 100 grams is typically a good number, however, some may require more.
Progress, Progress, Progress
If you want to see results that keep progressing… you have to progress your weight load. It is a good idea to add weight 1 to 2 ounces at a time at first. Later on, you may be able to raise that number to 5 or 10.
Switch It Up
Your muscles will adjust to what you are putting them through. Muscles are very intelligent! Trick them by switching up routines. Even if you mix up the order in a routine you love, your muscle memory will get confused and do what it needs to do to grow… break down so that it can later repair itself larger and stronger.
Squeeze Those Glutes!
When you are doing any exercise, squats, deadlifts, lunges… remember to squeeze your glutes every time! This puts more resistance towards your movement and helps your muscles to work even harder. This is what we want… our muscles to work HARD so that they are forced to grow, change and get stronger. Even if you are lifting light, this simple trick will make all the difference in your results.
Well, there you have it. A better butt in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now that you have the plan… plan to see results – and then? Plan to work it because you earned it, girl!
