Aesthetic procedures such as Brazilian butt lift can improve the appearance of one’s buttocks, but they can cost quite a bit and the results are not always permanent.
If you’re looking to add lift, tone, and volume to your derriere in a more affordable way, and have fun along the way, here are some effective workout tips to target your glutes and enhance their appearance.
| If you have never exercised regularly in the past or you have a medical condition that can impair your ability to exercise, please consult your doctor first. It is good to consult a physical therapist or personal trainer to help you get started if you are new at this. |
#1 FOCUS ON COMPOUND LIFTS
These are exercises that utilize more than 1 muscle group. For example, bicep curls only give your biceps a workout, but reverse back grip fires up your biceps as well as your entire back.
#2: MOVE IN DIFFERENT PLANES
Pick exercises that move the body at different planes and angles.
TIP 3: GIVE YOURSELF TIME & PACE YOURSELF
Avoid over-training. Take your recovery seriously as your training, as your tired muscles repair during the recovery stage.
