Don't have "The Butt", how I got mine

Just recently, I published a story on loving your body the way it is.

In this article, I explain the struggle of many young and older adults women who are not comfortable with the body. Mostly, because the boobs or the butt or both "are not within social standards" so to speak. It is devastating the lengths women and men would go to, just to be accepted in society. This bothered me to the core that I had to speak out in the article I wrote.

Trying out butt exercises

My husband is a gym fanatic and after we got married just a few months ago I volunteered, I mean forced to go, with him. Luckily it was every other day. Since I wasn't active previously, after a few times I enjoyed going, all due to the extra energy I had after the work sessions. Now that fall has set in gym visits have decreased now I am looking for ways to stay active.

Everybody loves butt, big ones, small ones, and even in-between ones, whatever those are. So I took some encouragement and started on the journey to add a few inches onto my jeans size.

Don't take this as an indication that what I said in my article about not having a fat butt and big boobs is not still what I believe.

This is just a new venture for me and I think will be a good surprise for my husband.

What exercise do I do currently?

There are many exercises that build on the muscles of the butts. There are 5 I currently do daily in-between chores, study, and work.

1. Saomoan Squats

Almost every butt build tutorial and video have this exercise embedded in its routine. It is very effective at activating the following muscles:

1. Glutes
2. Hamstrings
3. Quadriceps
4. Abdominal

The goal for the month of November is to complete 100 squats 6 days weekly. I divide the total into reps of 20 throughout 12 hours periods.

2. Fire hydrants

This is another popular exercise on butt tutorials. While raising my legs into position I would hold it up for 5 seconds. This way I engage and activate the following muscle:

1. Hip abductors
2. Gluteus medius
3. Gluteus minimus
4. Glutes maximum
5. Abdominal

That means both the butt and the hips will be bigger at the end of November. I do 100 of these divided into reps of 20. This is not as easy as it looks, especially with the extra 5 seconds.

3. Donkey kicks

These are my favorites. They active the core of the goal I want to achieve, a bigger butt. Now I feel like I am engaging the glutes. Like the other 2 it 100 kicks divided into reps of 20. Sometimes I feel like I can go more, but it will take away from the exercise regimen. The muscles the donkey activates are:

1. Gluteus maximus
2. Gluteus medius

4. Standing leg lift

In this exercise, I raise my knee to bring it to my chest at the same time rotating the body to the same side of the raised leg. I like this exercise because of its activation of the abs. This is how I justify to myself that I am working on my abs too. The muscles being engaged here are:

1. Abdominal
2. Muscle of the hips, especially the hip adductors
3. Glutes
4. Quadriceps

I do a little more here, at 150 total with 30 on each leg divided into 5 reps over 12 hours.

5. Running the stairs in my house.

My house doesn't have a lot of stairs. There are 6 stairs per level, there are 2 levels. After each rep, I will do 10 minutes on the stairs. Running the stairs helps to get in a full-body workout with extra cardio while indoor. and cardio does many things for a girl and her skin, aka acne.

Being a full-body workout all the muscles are activated and help the whole body healthy and hit.

The final thoughts

You can get great things with just these 5 exercises. Well, I believe this. And so far it works for me. I am feeling more energized and I can focus more on work and study longer. I have not seen much results on my butt yet, it is only 2 days.
