As a personal trainer, I hate to see anyone feeling awful about their body. However, that's what it sometimes takes for people tomake changes. Looking in the mirror and being honest with yourself, becoming annoyed with how tight your clothes fit, going to the doctor and hearing about your very real health issues. Many times a wake-up call is exactly what we need.
Time for a little more harsh reality...
As much as you hate to admit it, everyone looks at your butt. It's sort of like a universal unspoken rule. And as much as you hate to admit it -- you are always aware of the size of your butt. You receive a daily reminder every time you squeeze into a pair of jeans, a dress, a suit or even just glance sideways into a mirror.
Do you know what solution most people use for the big-butt syndrome? Do they lose body fat? Nope! Do they workout? Wrong again. What they do is buy clothes with the goal of covering up their butt. This is not my idea of a solution.
Mother Nature has blessed women with a variety of shapes and sizes. Some women have high butts, then there are bubble butts, flat butts, round butts, low butts, square butts and on and on we go. However, a perfect looking butt, no matter what the shape or size is very much related to a lean and healthy body. Strive for a lean and healthy body and you'll achieve your perfect butt.
A calorie-reduced nutrition and exercise program will do wonders to create a tight booty, and the formula that works for a healthy body is the same one that works for a great looking butt -- nutrition, exercise (resistance and cardio) and loads of consistency.
Your glutes won't get tighter and smaller unless your overall body fat is reduced. Let's be honest here -- you can do all the butt movements on the planet for hours a day, but it won't make one bit of difference unless you lose body fat. Spot reduction is simply not possible. This doesn't mean we can't place an exercise focus on the butt; it just means we have to be smart in our approach.
