I thank my lucky stars I found this website, after months of constantly searching for new and different workouts, wondering how many sets and reps to do, wondering whether to use light weights or heavy, i think i found my exercise bible!!., THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Teshara, YOU'RE WELCOME SO MUCH!!
Hi can u tell me, i really want to increase the size of my Butt, But if i do Butt exercises with heavier weights will it also increase the size of my thigh muscles?? ..(I DONT WANT THAT!!), ,
Teshara, Good question! In order to just target your butt, and not build thigh muscle, you need to do glute isolation exercises. Weighted glute bridges, hip abduction, kettlebell swings, glute kickbacks, and weighted rear leg lifts are good examples. Most squat variation and lunges will hit glutes and thighs if you’re doing them. We are working on a routine that isolates only the glutes, but you will find most of these moves around our site using our search box. Hope this helps.
