Round Booty

I am in the process of transforming my body (smile) so that I can look and feel amazing in my 50's. I'm working on a rotation and have an excellent nutrition program to follow. What lower body workouts would you suggest I incorporate the most for a nice round booty? Keep in mind I'm aiming to lose around 60 lbs. I have all of Cathes DVDs (including STS) and many many others, and some paper workouts as well.

I'm anxious to hear your suggestions!
 
I personally think that the shaping of our hips and therefore booty has much to do with our genetics - that would be the structural part of our bodies. Having said that, I have been having success with shaping the muscle around these bones with the Leg workouts from STS 2. Nothing has really perked my (little larger than average) butt more than having this in a biweekly rotation (I mostly use just disc 17 & 23). My lower body always looks and feels better as well when I include incline walking in my activities. It helps hit the muscles just under the butt (what Karen on here calls our Tutts) which for me, also REALLY helps with lower back tightness so I think it's a very important muscle.
Since you're aiming to lose weight, I would highly suggest incorporating kickboxing routines to work the leg and booty muscles while burning off calories.
Since our muscle reception of activity and weights/no weights etc. seems to be such an individual thing, I would experiment a bit and find out what works for you. That is what I've had to do. Of course, there are some just excellent rotations posted on here for working the butt hard. (I don't usually use rotations cause I have some back etc. issues, so when I try, I end up beating myself up for not being able to keep up, but I definitely think the rotations are super useful!!)

Cheers to your fitness goals!!:)

Elsie has been absolutely spot on,

  • Walking on a incline, I love this one when I workout at the gym. I set a maximum 30 minutes, including warm up and strecth Hiit.drill.
  • kickboxing is also a good choice for cardio cause on top of working aerobically,you work on your mobility reaching out. You also stretch your legs in the process.
  • Plyometric drill, not everyone preference though. It is for those who have no knee issue. one per week is enough to gain some result.
Thutt, is common word used by most cathletes --- Well I came across the word through a lovely and friendly cathlete on facebook.
The anatomical word for the muscle in question is Gluteus minimus --- The tiny one;);):)
There are many past thread on the forum you could look up using the search magnifying glass at the top of the screen.
you will just need to put in key words.

All the best,
 
Here are few past thread which answer your question. Sprinting does help shed fat, burn calories, improve your aerobic capacity faster
and not let your butt flatten into a thin pancake.;);) I learned a hard way to realise this!:mad::mad::mad::mad:
It was a huge Grrr moment. Now I have rebuilt it:D

2 dvds I would recommend are Great Glutes and lean legs.

There is much more elements to add and Hope others will chime in;);)
Hope they chime in constructively and sticking to this great topic!

Although I do love Cathe, I've been using Ingrid Romero's Edge Booty Extreme 2 for 2 months now and my boyfriend cannot keep his hands off my booty lol! It's tough since there are 3 lower body workouts per week but nothing has changed by glutes and legs as well as this program. I haven't followed it to a T as I don't have time for the extra cardio sessions listed each day but it didn't seem to matter in terms of results. As it's supersets I find my heart rate is elevated quite a bit anyway. My nutrition has been very " clean" 90% of the time as well which makes a huge difference as well for me.

@New50

To add to what has been quoted above, Glute training/activation require the ability to feel muscle even more.
I do not know how long you have been training your muscle and/or working out, it takes time to, repetition
to gain mind- Muscle connection. Once you have gained it, you feel your muscles more while executing moves.
For glutes you need, sorry it may sound gross but it is important, your rear throughout the execution of the
move. You need to feel the tension:)

  • Lean Legs and Abs focus on overall leg emphasizing on front leg --- Quads
  • Great Glutes --- Back Hamstring and the infamous Thutt.
Regardless of the fact that us women are quad predominant, we still need to work it. Without, aiming to sound too vain,
if you want your legs to look slimmer and build your glute at the same time, gaining a firmer hamstring should be part of the goal.
Firmer your hamstring get, more your glute will be uplifted (defying gravity:p). Your leg will look slimmer.

Please keep us posted:)

Thank you! I've been exercising since I was 13, starting with albums, then vhs around age 22, and starting doing Firm and cathe, plus others at age 27. I gained weight due to an illness and workouts and nutrition have not been consistent. But trying to become more consistent with a rotation that will work for now and is flexible for my bad days. I hired someone to help with nutrition. Looking forward to getting back in the game!
 
Good luck on your booty mission lol! The extreme booty 2 DVDs are quite difficult with 4 sets of each superset - so if you're not up to that they are chaptered so you could skip a set or just lower your weight/ use body weight for some moves. 3 times/ week of lower body is hard even for the advanced exerciser, and i've recently started subbing in one of Cathe's RWH leg workouts for one of these days just to change it up a bit. Have fun with which ever workouts you choose and try not to be too hard on your self, especially since you've been dealing with an illness.

Welcome back in the game:):). As Jamie posted above take it easy and you will regain your fitness level pretty quickly.
I think you will do great in your quest re-building a strong glute. All of us who are into glute training know it is not just for
aesthetic. Stronger it get, less pressure we put on our lower back and knees;):):). All the very best and please keep all of us
informed as you progress.Kind Regards:)

Thank you for the tips! Have you done extreme booty 1? I have that, but only did one workout.

Thank you so much for your expertise and support! I see your posts all the time and have gotten great tips from you!
 
Hi New50,
No i have not done extreme booty 1 - it seemed like alot of $$ for the amount of material provided so #2 seemed more worthy of my hard earned $$ with a total of 7 workouts of durations between 30 - 60 minutes, one of which is cardio hiit progressions which i like as well. I have heard good things about #1 despite the cost factor.

No I don't have booty1... I will purchase EBE2. After various reviews from like minded cathletes.
They have recommended EBE2. I think those who consistently workout Cathe's compound legs program
can attempt EBE2 still being challenge. Jamie has just confirmed again how challenging and fun it is.:)
