Can you be a runner and still have a rear ?

I keep my kitty away from the treadmill (or MFP spam filter strikes again).0

I don't care who you are, that there is funny.
...And duly noted on the RDLs contribution to the booty. I do most of my cardio on an Arc set for the mountain climb workout, or x-train on the elliptical (and do my sporadic running in the real world) so it might not present the same dangers as the treadmill.0 -

Lol I'll look it up if I can find it0 -
Well that obese cat lost 4 pounds on that treadmill so maybe I'll give it a try0

I am definitely not blessed in thatdepartment, but by fitting in weights sessions I now have the best butt I've ever had in my 26 years; achieved whilst also training to get from not running 30 seconds to running 13.1 miles, so if I can improve the look and shape of my flat-as-a-pancake-even-when-chubby backside whilst running a lot, anyone can.
Plenty of women have better bums that I do, but a big proportion of that is probably genetic so there's no point me stressing about it.0 -
Thank you all for your input I'll give it another try

Then directly train your glutes with hip thrusts, pull throughs, and glute bridges. The glutes are a rather large muscle group and respond well to weight training. Are you squatting?1

LOL, I had zero butt before I started running. 30-40 miles per week has given me some roundness for the first time in my life. It doesn't even look like I'm the same person from behind.
I'm certainly not genetically gifted in that area and am still looking better every day from the ~8 months I've been running (and I do virtually no lower-body strength work or compound lifts.)0 -
It's mainly genetics. When I was young and very thin (in the 90s), my butt was still larger than I liked. A ___ once called out at me as I was running on the street, saying I'd "never run that fat ___ off."0

I was wondering why anyone would use such a dumb name.0 -
Lift weights, full depth squats in particular.0

3 days a week I work my glutes but I'm really wanting to drop the body fat now just don't want to lose what I worked for last time I started running every day it started going flat I just don't know what that balance is that I can do both at the same time0 -
Your butt didn't go flat overnight. Run and train your glutes and it will work. The running will condition you and help you lose weight by giving you more calories to eat and still lose. The direct glute training will make sure your rear end is round and firm once the weight comes off. If you want an excellent lifting program that addresses your concern use Strong Curves by Bret Contreras.1

That's the figure I have been working my butt off for that was very rude of that person to say 1 -
I run and have a flat rear....I also lift so for me it's genetics (my mum is same shape)0

that's great:) I think I just need to try it again I really loved running0 -
And since when was is the word *kitten* not allowed to be used?? I mean seriously it's in the Bible albeit in a different meaning but ya know what I mean! It's hardly a cuss word!
And where the heck did kitten ever get to mean the same???? Mind boggling. ..sigghh1 -

Thank you. It was mean and made me even more self-conscious about exercising in public. Squats can also help to an extent.1 -

Yes mfp now changes words automatically! !! It changed the word *kitten* to kitten! !!!!! I had to use dollar signs to get it to stay as is!

You might have only heard that but I'm sure there are many going by you that you are motivating them to get out there and exercise too so don't ever be self conscious I love seeing ones exercise0 -

Heh, Balaam and his talking kitten. Palm Sunday, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a kitten. Hmm.3 -
Grrr ridiculing overweight people because they are exercising just makes me see red :mad: My first thought is "good on you for getting out and doing something". And they shouldn't give a flying flip what some close minded pig has to say!!!1

Genetics mostly.
Yep. I have a very ample rear and I run.
Me too!0 -

Do you feel you have to squat more to keep it up ? Or you just genetically got it ?0 -
I've had a big butt since the dawn of time. Had one when I was obese and I have one now. I also run and lift, but that doesn't really matter because my booty is genetics.0
-
You want to run better and have a nice butt? Hip Thrusts.
I am not a runner but I occasionally run 2-3 miles at a time. I noticed less fatigue and better running efficiency after training glutes for a couple months. The glute activation seems to generate more power and speed.0 -

I was agreeing with it being genetics.0 -

I've genetically got it, I'm a pear shape so hips and bum is the last place I lose from. I always used to wish my bum was flatter, luckily for me big bums seem to have become the fashion!0
