Hey Babe!
I am so happy you’re here! I’ve put a lot of heart into this program & I know
you will love the workouts AND the results! For the next 8 weeks I will be
coaching you along your booty building journey.
This program is for anyone with any fitness goal (whether weight loss or
weight gain) looking to grow their glutes, AND for those who already love
their glutes, but want to eliminate cellulite & lift their booty.
This program can be completed at home or at the gym. If you want to see
huge booty gains I recommend using the gym for access to heavier weights. I
have included modifications (“Home Mods”) for certain movements that
require gym equipment, and have included “Home Hacks” for certain moves
to make them more challenging while at home with lighter weights.
In addition to your 8-week booty guide, I’ve also included other material
that will help you along the way. Be sure to read through the entire program,
stay on track with the workouts & nutrition, & ask for help if you need it.
This booty guide is meant to be added to your already existing workout routine.
I recommend 2 upper days in between glute days. I also recommend adding in
certain lower body movements for calves, quads, and hamstrings as this guide
focuses solely on glutes and hips.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WILL THIS GUIDE MAKE MY GLUTES LOOK LIKE YOURS?
Genetics rule all. Our DNA & bodies are all different, and won’t look exactly the
same after completing this program. Will you make gains? Absolutely. Will your
glutes be lifted, larger in size, free of cellulite with defined hips? Yes. (Assuming
you’re consistent with the workouts, increasing your weights & meeting your
calorie goal everyday). If you put in the work, you will see results. Guaranteed. If
your goal is weight gain, I recommend incorporating upper body, abs, HIIT cardio
workouts from my weight gain guide that you can purchase here. If your goal is
weight loss I recommend incorporating upper body & cardio workouts from
either of my two weight loss guides, “Slim Fit” (home-based) or “The Best Da*n
Weight Loss Guide” (gym-based). You can find them here.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
• Dumbbells - The more weight you have the better. Heavier weights will bare
the best results. Feel free to get creative & utilize water bottles, canned goods,
book-bags, etc. in place of dumbbells. (Kettlebells can also be used for some
movements)
• Short Resistance Hip Bands: some movements can be done with bands if
dumbbells aren’t available, & other movements can be intensified with the
addition of bands. It’s best to have different levels of resistance so you can
continue to get stronger & grow your muscles.
• Barbell: If you have gym access feel free to use a barbell in place of dumbbells
for movements such as, Hip Thrust, Glute Bridge, & Deadlifts.
APPS NEEDED
• iMacro (iPhone) or YAZIO (Android)- for tracking macros/calories. You
can use any tracking app you would like, but these are my favorite. You
can simply enter in the macros you’re about to calculate in the settings
of each app, instead of letting the apps calculate for you. It’ll be more
accurate if you do them yourself. (I do not recommend MyFitnessPal
because they tend to manipulate your macros throughout the day).
WHAT ABOUT NUTRITION?
Because this is not a full body program and is meant to be
done in addition to other training, I won’t go into much
detail about nutrition.
For now, we’ll go over the basics that will help you along
the way. Swipe!
EATING FOR BOOTY GAINZ
As we spoke about earlier, in order to stimulate muscle growth
we have to strength train & also make sure we’re eating
enough food. Before we figure out how many calories and
macros need everyday we have to first identify our body type
which we’ll do shortly. (Macros is short for “macronutrients”.
Our bodies 3 main energy sources: carbs, protein & fats. They
are what make up for your total calories.)
If your goal is weight gain & you’re an ectomorph like me, calculate your
calories to gain 1lb-2lbs a week (we’ll do this in a minute, hold tight). In
order to gain healthy weight it is crucial that we eat enough food.
Ectomorphs can’t afford to miss out on any meals because we need to
stay in a caloric SURPLUS at all times. (Meaning we have to eat more
calories than our bodies burn].
EATING FOR BOOTY GAINZ CONTINUED
If you’re a mesomorph & your goal is weight loss, while still building a
booty. You can calculate your calories to lose 1lb-2lbs/week, BUT you have to
be sure to hit your protein goal everyday so your glute muscles have all that
they need to grow as much as they can while you’re still working to lose
body-fat. Know that you won’t see major glute growth due to you still eating
in a caloric deficit, but you WILL see your booty get more plump, more lifted,
cellulite erased & tightened thighs. When you reach your goal weight, you
can recalculate your calories to “maintain” your weight, and focus on lifting
heavier and eating a little more food to see even more gains.
If you’re an endomorph & your goal is weight loss, while still building a
booty. You can calculate your calories to lose 1lb-2lbs/week, BUT you have
to be sure to hit your protein goal everyday so your glute muscles have all
that they need to grow as much as they can while you’re still working to lose
body-fat. Know that you won’t see major glute growth due to you still eating
in a caloric deficit, but you WILL see your booty get more plump, more
lifted, cellulite erased & tightened thighs. When you reach your goal
weight, you can recalculate your calories to “maintain” your weight, and
focus on lifting heavier and eating a little more food to see even more
gains.
BODY TYPES & CALCULATING
CALORIES/MACROS
There are 3 main body types: Ectomorphs, Mesomorph, &
Endomorphs. Each body type responds differently to macros. Identify your
body type, and use the recommended Macro breakdown for your body
type. [For example, the macro breakdown for me, being an Ectomorph, is
50% Carbs, 30% Protein & 20% Fats. Meaning 50% of my calories will come
from carbs, 30% will come from protein & 20% will come from fats.]
Ectomorphs:
• Are naturally thin with skinny limbs
• Have a high tolerance for carbs
• Have a naturally fast metabolism making it difficult to gain weight (muscle
or fat)
• MACRO RATIO: 50% Carbs, 30% Protein, 20% Fat
Mesomorphs:
• Are naturally muscular & athletic with wider shoulders; sometimes described
as being “solid”
• Not usually overweight or underweight
• Gain muscle & fat fairly easily
• MACRO RATIO: 40% Carbs, 30% Protein, 30% Fat
Endomorphs:
• Are naturally broad & thick with a larger frame
• Gains fat easily, making it difficult to lose weight
• Less tolerance for carbs
• MACRO RATIO: 25% Carbs, 40% Protein, 35% Fat
CALCULATE CALORIES & MACROS
Click HERE for a quick & easy way to calculate your calories.
Fill out the quick form, click “Calculate” to be shown your calorie
options. For weight gain, click “Show Info for Weight Gain”. You will
be shown numbers for Mild Weight Loss/Gain, Weight Loss/Gain & Fast Weight
Loss/Gain. Select whichever number that best fits your goal. Although, I do NOT
recommend the “Fast Weight LOSS” option.
If your goal is weight gain & you have a hard time consuming enough food,
begin with your “Weight Gain” number. As your body adjusts to your high
intensity of training & starts demanding more food, try to hit your “Fast Weight
Gain” calorie number. [Type in your calorie number below]
MY DAILY CALORIES
Click HERE to calculate your Macros which will make up your daily
calorie number. Scroll down & click “Personalized Macronutrient
Calculator”, then “Enter Daily Calories” (use the calorie number you
calculated above & insert here). Go down to “Adjust Ratios” & move
the slider to set your Carbs, Protein & Fat percentages using the
above ratios for the body type that best fits you.
MY DAILY MACROS
• Track your weights. There will be space to type in your weights for each movement. By
making note of the weights you use, you can ensure you’re actually getting stronger & can
track your progress. It’ll also help you know where to begin each week. Look at the
previous week’s weights for a movement, & start there.
• Watch videos for every movement to view correct form. Simply CLICK the name of a
movement & a video will pop up. Study my or Neko’s form & mimic.
• Record form & upload to Facebook Group if you feel uncomfortable or feel as though
you aren’t doing a movement correctly so I can critique. If you don’t have correct form, you
could get injured and/or not receive the full benefit of the movement.
• Pay attention to rest times. Stay within the allotted rest times. Do NOT rest TOO long
or too little!
• NEVER skip warm-ups. You’ve been given warmup to complete before beginning your
workout, be sure to fully warm-up before starting your workout. Also, be sure to stretch
after EVERY workout.
• I recommend wearing flat-soled shoes for lower body workouts, such as Van’s or
Converses, not running shoes.
• TAKE BEFORE PICTURES before you start the program! (Front, Back, & Side views)
Use self-timer or ask a friend to snap before and after pictures so you can see your gains
after you complete the program! Then send them to me via email or Instagram! I would
love to see your results!
TRAINING CALENDAR
Your 8-week program will consist of a 3-day training split. Try your best to hit EVERY
workout for BEST results! You don’t have to follow the calendar exactly, but make
sure you’re doing the workouts in order and you have at least one day in btw. each
workout. (I wrote in recommended upper body days for guidance).
