Q. Hi Fitz, I’m in my 40’s and have really let myself go over the past decade. I used to be in great shape, but now I’m stuck with a soft and bulgy butt that is far too big. The rest of my body needs work too. I’ve started eating like you recommend and am watching my calories, I’m already down three pounds in one week! So, what do you advise I do to improve my backside. It’s awful! Sarah
A. Hello Miss Sarah, Congratulations on your initial success; I’m very proud of you! There are a lot of things you can do to tighten up that tush, but losing weight will be most important for getting rid of the fat responsible for those bulges. Use the EXACT FORMULA FOR WEIGHT LOSS to quickly and permanently drop the weight. The next step you’ll want to pursue is shaping your fanny. You didn’t mention that you were exercising, so I’m going to assume that you’re not. Cardiovascular exercise is important for heart and lung health, endurance, and weight loss. It also can be an effective tool for contouring muscles. Great cardio options that will both get your heart rate up and require you to work that bum are stair climbing, walking or running at an incline, and lap swimming. Pursue at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise six days a week. Increase the time and intensity as your fitness level improves.
Strength training should play a starring role as well. Various squats, lunges of all kinds, donkey kicks, and prone hamstring curls are your best. Begin with one set of each exercise every other day, and then increase both your repetitions and resistance levels as you go forward. This process will take a while, but if you stick with your wise eating habits and adopt this workout program, you should start to see subtle changes within two weeks. Slowly, the lumps and bumps will disappear, and you can plant that booty of yours back in to a pair of sexy fitted jeans. I’m rooting for you, Sarah. Now get to work!
