Ok so I've posted on here for a while now, and I'm seriously in to fitness. I went from over 200 pounds post pardum, dumpy and sad, to an energetic health and fitness freak. No I don't starve, I don't follow crazy diets, I don't live in a gym.
There are so many different fitness philosophies, all of us eat different, etc. But most woman want the same darned thing: a beautiful butt!!! So I thought maybe we could start a discussion of how to get one. What are you doing? Do you workout? Lift weights? Are you a cardio freak? Do you love what you're doing, dread what your doing now exercise wise?
Because I think you can have it all. If you are motivated to be fit, and want to love working out, or if you already do there is a way.
SO while I'm seriously in to fitness, I realize it is NOT one size fits all. Some of us love to run up hills until we wanna pass out, some of us like gentle yoga. I like to mix things up and never be bored, and I only go inside a gym 2 days a week, 3 if I want. I get my kids involved and make it short, challenging and as fun as such a thing could be. And of course my diet is superb.
So here's my workout (I did this today). I have haulted the super heavy and hard, because I am giving my back a rest, so I'm doing fast circuits, that leave me drenched in sweat and crawling to my car:
Walking lunges (adjust weight accordingly) 60 pound barbell, 3 lengths of gym. This is FAR, I have only recently been able to make this far, 10 steps each side is a good start
Superset this with box jumps, basically you just jump up and off a box, or you could do jump squats or speed rope 3 sets
Next superset is squats/deads
I do 20 rep squats with 135, I started with probably 45 at first LOL
Then romanian dumbell deadlifts with dumbells (I use 50 pound dumbells, you want something heavy enough to make it hard to get 12-15 reps) 3 sets of this superset (or 4 if more advanced)
Next sumo squats holding a dumbell. Take a wide stance, toes turned out a little, and hold a dumbel or a light barbell and do deep squats, 15 reps
superset these with one legged split squats with weights. basically a squat with one leg behind on a bench so you'r squating with one leg.
I work shoulders on the same day i do legs also, but this is a really killer butt workout.
I work my butt/legs hard once a week, sometimes twice, and I focus on the butt a lot.
Anyone have any good workouts to share?
I think the best way to build sexy feminine muscle tone is to WORK your muscles, lift weights!! 2 days a week, or 3. Raise your metabolism, eat well and melt just the right amount of fat to show off your luscious curves and SHELF of a booty
ETA: I changed the title to accomodate anyone who wants help or to discuss how to maintain/develop a nice figure. Love your big booty, small booty, whatever booty you were given. Whatever your genes, or goals, figure out how to get there!

So, Lisa, I keep checking to see if you've started that blog yet? Any plans?
at the workout you consider to be light and easy. What do you do when you want to clean behind the refrigerator, lift it up and hold it out of the way while you sweep?
