Having had a relatively small frame all my life I wasn't blessed with a round bottom. I was thin and as light as a feather so back then it made perfect sense for me to be a long distance runner. But then things changed when I started weight training. I started building muscle. I got stronger. I was looking in the mirror thinking that the skinny girl who looked like a boy had completely disappeared. She now has curves!
It did take some trial and error finding out what worked and delivered results faster. And no- it wasn't some easy overnight process. It will require commitment and persistence but as they say, once you start lifting you will never go back to your old ways. I lift simply because I love it and I think once you get the swing of things you will too! It's a great way to relieve stress, and if you're toning your body at the same time, it's a win-win situation isn't it? Anywaysssss, onto the point, I found the following moves really helped me to build my glutes to how it looks like today, so if you're looking to build your booty, you may wish to try and incorporate some of these into your routine (wink wink).
1. Weighted Barbell Squats
2. Glute bridges
3. Single leg squats
4. Split squats
5. Rear leg raises (Bodyweight)

as far as diet goes, how did you diet change when you start weightlifting? Did you started to eat more calories?
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren! When I started my journey I was eating pretty much the same but I wasn't seeing any change in my physique. Because I wasn't see changes, I knew I had to change something so I started lifting heavier and eating in a calorie surplus, especially focusing on increasing my protein intake. That's when my body started to change! Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope this answers your question :)
