Which bootie workout is best?

I started with just my elliptical, did JM 30 Day Shred, moved on to Turbo Jam, graduated to Turbofire (my FAV), and sneak in JM Body Revolution here and there. My arms look great, my legs are pretty good, and I've got good defintion in abs :). My biggest trouble area continues to be my bootie. I'm looking into Butt Bible or Brazil Butt Lift. Any opinions out there? I'm leaning towards Brazil Butt Lift - should I go w/ the base kit or bite the bullet and get the deluxe kit? Thanks!

    Well whatever you do don't do squats. Those things ruin your *kitten*.
  • I got fantastic results with Brazilian Butt Lift and Chalean Extreme (a lot of heavy weight squats). Honestly, I think you're better off getting Chalean Extreme or another weight lifting program.
  • Bump! I'm interested as well...:)

    I have an old knee injury, so lots of squats cause considerable pain. This is why I'm looking into something that shows me multiple types of bootie exercises - not JUST squats.

    am I the only one that immediately thought BTRA?
  • Barbell Squats and walking DB Lunges will work best

    Gotcha. Well in that case I preferred Brazillian Butt Lift over the Butt Bible. Neither are strenuous- but I just found BBL to be more fun, while Butt Bible got repetitive very quickly (for me).

    Pilates! :) Seriously, amazing results. Also? Weighted bridges. Those you can at least add some weight to without performing a squat and injuring your knees.

    Either you mentioned will work. I like Butt Bible - but Pauline can kind annoy the EFFF outta people with her commentary, so you might hate it.

    I moved on to Strong Curves. :heart:

    bump ... I squat a LOT ... and HEAVY ... That has worked for me. Anything lower body gets the job done. I walk at an incline on the tredmil. I don't have any DVDs or anything.

    I am always down to try new things ...

    Weight squats, if done properly will not hurt your knees. Start with a lighter weight and work your way up. I'm stating this from experience. I was a catcher, gymnasts, and cheerleader. All of those caused me lots of knee pain eventually. I tried insanity and almost died because it killed my knees. Running as always been an issue. Weighted squats have done nothing but make my knees feel better. They strengthen the muscles around your knees and make them more stable. I was scared at first but I am in love with them now. And I'm not doing just 20 lb squats, up in the range of 185 lbs 5x5 and working my way up.

    Also, try and stay away from 'steady-state' cardio like running as it tends to flatten the bum. Sprints are a great for the bootie though!

    I'm interested in the results. Do you have pictures? I was hoping for a more bubble butt bootie, but like a manly bubble butt. Not like a bodankadonk sexy, I want to bite it booty.

    Hip thrusts

    Pause deadlifts

    Single leg deadlifts

    And if you have a chronic knee issue, strengthening your quads will do wonders for it. Try front squats and Bulgarian split squats.

    QFT

    I've had several knee surgeries and was originally terrified to squat because I remembered the pain all too well. I started with just the bar and worked up from there, too. Even after squatting 485 I don't have any pain now. Just give it a try with proper form; it's well worth it, I swear.

    As much as I personally want your booty, I don't want your booty. So I'll have to stay away from those programs. ; )
