GETTING A BOOTIE! (umm… GLUTES!)
So…. the goal is to get a tighter and firmer bootie. Deadlifts, Squats, Plie’ squats (w/dumbell), leg press, lunges, reverse lunges, one-legged squats, donkey kicks with the stretch bands. Whew!! What else can I possibly do?? LOL! Oh, and cardio. Yes, cardio is a must to shed the bf to get that bootie harder and higher!! My diet has been tweaked so that those results come sooner!
A friend of mine told me to measure (my bum) …. do I really need to?? ha ha. I could not figure out why my shorts were getting shorter. Not necessarily tighter (because the waist is getting loose) but they are shorter. My sister asked the other day if I had my daughter’s shorts on (she’s 11). Then it dawned on me… my derriere is standing on its own and its making my shorts shorter. Yay!!! ha ha ha. This is definitely called progress!
Last week I had one of the best weeks training my legs. I was sore every single day. Although I worked them out twice during the week, my quads, hams and glutes felt tight, hard as a rock and sore! I would run… I’d get sore. I would walk on the treadmill, stressing and tightening my glutes as I walked… I got sore. I then started wiggin’ thinking my quads were getting squatty-looking. A friend of mine told me to chill, keep doing what I was doing and that it was probably just lactic acid buildup. So, I am continuing the quest for the perfect bootie! lol!
At the same time…swimsuit time is here. My favorite time of the year. Beaches… ahhhhhhh. Can you hear the waves crashing? The smell of the salt in the air?? Can you see that intoxicating sunset? I just love it. The beauty of being at the beach and taking in all those senses, it is truly pleasurable. I have a true passion for the beach. Just something about it.
Ok… the countdown is on for the Summer…. I am going to be ready. :)
Keep training hard!
