Glutes!!

[tough_lil_gina]

I have tried so many things to help in the aid of loosing excess butt fat!!!! Can anyone give me some exercises? Hopefully there are more out there then I have allready tried.

Losing fat is a diet issue, not an exercise issue. If you want to build up your glutes, you can use exercises like below parallel squats, high step-ups, RDLs, DLs, good mornings, and pull-throughs.

Let me tell ya those high step ups are brutal I love em

Well.....you're probably going to think that I am retarted for this, but for the last week I have been doing little things around the house such as
-when I'm watching tv or not doing anything, I lay on my stomach on the floor and lift one leg up at a time alternating until my muscles hurt so bad I can't do it anymore
or
-standing at the kitchen counter for a few seconds a couple times a day and lifting my leg behind me until It really really burns.

I know these sound stupid, but believe it or not, I have noticed a huge difference just by doing that added to my normal routine.

But, I use to use the stairclimber and it worked just as good.

Strength is not only measured physically...but also mentally!

deck squats, high step ups, and dumbbell swings. theyre turning my girls butt into a nice little onoin.

Wide stance pull-throughs round the glutes nicely. Aside from deep squats nothin kills me more.

Can someone explain what deck squats, dumbell swings, and wide stance pull-throughs are??

Thanks

wide stance pullthroughs ---- if we're talking about the same thing --- using cables, if you stand facing away from a cable machine where the cable hook is on the bottom and use a single cable grip
- set the weight to something that gives good resistance - since you are going to be using your legs for most of the pulling, you should be able to set it fairly high (e.g. 100 lbs)
- hold with both hands
- bend over facing away from the cable
- walk out a bit with the cable grip running between your legs and you have enough distance from the cable stand that you have to lean away from the cable stand to pull
- then use your hams (like doing DLs) to pull the cable grip away from the cable stand and controlled release back through your legs.

This is an awesome stretch for your back & great ham/glute workout!
