Build a Sexy Butt

What woman wouldn't love to have a hot, sexy butt?  But, you look at the women who have one and think to yourself..."she was just made that way" or "it's just good genetics and I'll never look like that."  And, so you go about your day feeling defeated and miserable at the thought that you could never look like that.  But, is it really impossible to get the butt you want or did you only convince yourself that it isn't possible? 

As a certified personal trainer, and someone who has transformed her own body with a 135lb weight loss, I can honestly tell you that the body can be changed.  In fact, it can be built and be transformed in ways that you and most women would be thrilled to discover.  So, what's the secret to building a sexy butt.......weight training. 

The myth about women turning into female versions of Arnold is just that....a myth....and isn't even possible with your female makeup.....so, don't worry about bulking up and losing any feminity.  In fact, get ready to embrace the beautiful, feminine curves that you're about to acquire through weight training. 

What is genetically possible for women when it comes to weight training is using it to create the body that you want.....that includes a sexy butt.  Muscle can be shaped....it's moldable.  Fat is not.  So, if you stay on that treadmill, you will lose weight, but will end up just being a smaller version of yourself.  If you want to build a gorgeous body....including a sexy butt....you need to get your butt over to the weight section at the gym.  

Check out these workouts that can help you build that hot and sexy butt!

  Squats – One of the best workouts for your butt, thighs, and hips is the squat.  You'll stand with your feet shoulder width apart.  Then slowly lower your hips down toward the ground.  Be sure to keep your knees behind your toes by keeping them over your ankles.  Then press through your heals to push yourself back up to a standing position.  Once you get the hang of these with just your body as resistance, you can add weights for an extra challenge. 

  Lunges – For the lunges, you'll also begin with your feet shoulder width apart.  Lift one foot and take a giant step forward or backward and then slowly lower your body, bending at both of your knees.  Now straighten your legs and bring your feet back to the starting position.  Repeat.  For more of a challenge, alternate your legs.  Once you've mastered this motion, grab and hold some dumbells at your sides for added resistance. 

  Step-ups – You can use a weight bench or even just an ordinary step will do.  Step one foot up onto the bench or step.  Now push through your leg on the bench to lift your other leg off of the floor.  Your bottom leg should come up and tap the bench.  Lower and repeat with the same leg, then switch.  Add hand weights for the best challenge.

  Deadlifts – These are one of my personal favorites for butt enhancing exercises.  You'll need a barbell or two dumbbells for this exercise.  Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent, with the barbell or dumbbells lying in front of you.  Keep your back flat, shoulders back, and bend forward.  Reach down and grab the barbell or dumbbells with an overhand grip.  Keep the arms relaxed and the barbell close to you legs.  Now, slowly stand up, squeezing your glutes and pressing through your heels.  The main motion that takes place in this exercise is a tilting motion at the hips.  Bend forward back into your starting position.  Repeat. 

  Weights, Sets, and Reps

  Once you have all of these techniques mastered, you can add weight to each for an increased challenge.  Start light and progress to heavier weights slowly.  For a tight, sexy, perky butt....do 3 to 4 sets of 15-20 repetitions. 

  *Always be sure to use proper form when performing strength training exercises to avoid injury and ask someone to spot you when you are lifting heavy.
