You’re not going to get that butt you want by sitting on it.

As important as it is to eat healthy to achieve that body you desire it is just as significant to know how to target the muscles associated with the body part that you want to work on… or in this case that booty that you want.

Squats and lunges are very important to building that body that you want. It helps you target many different muscles groups, specifically the: quads, hamstrings and glutes.

A huge misconception of squats and lunges is that it can make a woman look manly …so not true. Extreme muscle mass doesn’t happen overnight. Muscle gain is much harder than fat loss. People forget that men have ten times more testosterone than women. Even if a woman eats an enormous amount of food it will still be about ten times HARDER to even slightly resemble that of a man’s body.

And of course there are a lot of other benefits of doing squats other than having a nice looking bottom. In fact, if you are a runner many studies show that with the help of weights and repetition that the stronger you squat the faster you can run. Weighted squats can also help postmenopausal women improve their bone mineral density in the spine and neck. So, squats and lunges aren’t all about aesthetics.

So if you want to get that butt that you desire then put that cell phone down or laptop away and get up and do some squats and lunges! I promise that your bum will thank you for it!
