Hey, everyone. I’m curious to know if you have a fitness routine for staying in shape to pull off wearing a thong in public.
My staple exercises are squats, hack squats, and stiff legged deadlifts. I hit squats and hack squats on the same day of the week and stiff legged dead lifts on a different day. I have also gotten into yoga, which is great for the core, and ride the elliptical on gym off days at home.
I would love to hear what others may do that is effective that I can add to my routine. Thanks.

Absolutely, I start with a back hypertension bench and then move on to the seated leg press. I finish up with the barbell hip thrust. I complete all three exercises with one set to absolute failure. It is very taxing for me, so I only do this routine 1-2 times a week. However, it has yielded the best results for me. I am my harshest critic, and even I can notice the improvement.
I drink a lot of water every day.
By the way, great post!

Thanks for mentioning the barbell hip thrust. I’ve seen people doing those. I will have to try. How much weight do you use?

For the barbell hip thrust, I lift 135-165 lbs. I focus more on the muscle I’m working on than the weight. All my sets are in the 15-20 rep range.
Foot placement is the key for me on any leg/glute exercise.

Resistance training, walking, slow jogging, yoga, pilates, ice skating, and HIIT. Exercise only helps if you keep your nutrition clean. I have always worked out consistently, but my diet used to be crap and I put on a lot of weight. I started with Keto then adopted a low-carb lifestyle. That way I still enjoy some foods, but keep it clean 90% of the time, especially cutting back on alcohol. I have lost over 60 pounds this year and would like to lose another 20. I took a break for the holidays, but still watched what I ate.

I recommend having a gym partner. I never train by myself. It’s a bonus if you find someone stronger and just as motivated as you are.

Very true. I had amazing gains when I had a training partner and hope to find another one. It was easier when I was younger and had a lot of spare time. I still make it a priority, but it can be hard to get schedules to align.

Avid cyclist, here. I’m not really looking to build muscle or anyting, just stay in shape and watch my weight.
To focus on the glutes, a steep hike/trail WALK, the slower the better, will get your tush ready for beach weather in no time at all (2–3, 40–60 min walks per week will do it). Carry a heavy pack for more resistance. Manhattan Beach in LA has a sand dune that is very popular; if you walk or jog UPHILL, it will round up that bum like nothing else. In fact, for about 20 minutes, I once had the opportunity to train alongside Maria Sharapova, the tennis player who lives somewhere in the neighborhood, on that sand dune.
Taking corner kicks/penalty kicks (soccer) also focuses on the buttocks, but most players only use their strong leg, and the workout won’t be symmetrical unless you force yourself to use your weak leg.
Jumping off a short platform (about a meter high) and landing it, while adding 10–20 squats alternating between deep and shallow squats, will also focus on the booty.
Combine these exercises with a ton of crunches to keep that tummy all tucked in.
