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.
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.
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.
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.
My gym just got this squat machine called the booty builder. I love it. Try to that, DB deadlifts, BB squats and DB walking lunges. Been ending with 30 min of stair climber too.
I have been doing an hour on an elliptical machine while I am on the road and at home, I try and hit the rowing machine. Having some sort of squat machine would be ideal.
I’m a gym rat. I exercise six days per week. Swim Monday and Wednesdays and depending on my schedule at least Saturday or Sunday. Weight training Monday through Friday. I used to be strict on my diet but allow myself to indulge more with zero guilt. I’m retired from marathons due to achilles surgery and find swimming really is the best overall exercise.
If you really want to tone your glutes, I’ve found hip thrusts to be very effective. 315 pounds with 4 sets of 15 reps gives a great burn. Squats, hack suats and stiff legged dead lifts are alos great. As always, you must use great form to get the most out of them. I generally work out 4 x per week. Squats and hack squats on a separate day, then hip thip thrusts combined with several other exercises the other 3 x per week.
