How Can I Get My Butt Round & Plump Again?

Tone your bottom in no time.

If you've been slacking on your workout regimen, you may have noticed your body is softening and jiggling in ways you don't quite like. Being proud of your firm, round bottom doesn't have to be an old memory. It may take a little more hard work and sweat to get you back in shape again, but if you've done it before, you know it is achievable. Before you know it your butt will be plump and round in the toned way that will make you ready for your favorite outfits or bikini bottom.

Instructions

1. Manage your calorie intake if your fat and pounds tend to go directly to your bottom. Put a plan in motion to eat properly so you can begin to lose weight, which will transition flab into a toned tush. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water and cut down on foods with high carbohydrate content such as pasta, bread and rice. Pick up a more nutritional diet to shave off the pounds in preparation for an energetic booty blasting exercise routine.

2. Get your legs moving to help burn the fat and tone your muscles. Whether you like outdoor park running or a few 45-minute stints on the treadmill, begin your fitness plan with an aggressive cardio schedule. Plan to commit to at least three to four days of a cardio workout to build endurance and strength.

3. Add a few sets of squats to your routine. Stand with your legs hip-width apart and lower your bottom as if you were sitting in a chair. Lower down as much as you can without putting too much stress on your knees. Be sure your toes are in front of your knees when you lower and exhale out your mouth. As you elevate to the standing position, squeeze your gluteus muscles tightly inhaling as you return. Complete two to three sets of 8-10 repetitions.

4. Build strength in your legs and butt with an aggressive lunge workout. Start by standing shoulder-width apart and lunge forward using one leg. Legs should be in as much of a 90 degree angle as possible. Take extreme care not to allow your knee to move in front of your toes for perfect form. Use the first set on one leg standing back up straight and lower back into a lunge with each count. Switch legs for the second set. For a challenge, on the third set, alternate legs with each count to burn fat and excite your cardiovascular system. For a final set, instead of coming straight up to a standing position, hover halfway through on the lunge and pulsate a few times.
