Ok, so yes, I am overweight, obese really, and I have a big chest (between 40-42D) but I have no butt!! My hips are wide, but my back side, as flat as a pancake. Any recommendations, besides the usual eating better and exercising more, to sort of 'create' a nice behind? As I lose weight, which I have been a lot smaller in the past, I also lose the butt. Squats and lunges I have tried, and they seem to work, but I need variety...


Any ideas? :tongue:

    Squats, GHR's, deadlifts, box jumps, and sprinting are a good start.

    Some more ideas are "running the bleachers" (a cardio work-out where you run up and down the a set of bleachers, causing you to lift your feet high while running) or stair climbing (machine or actual stairs).

    Do you have On Demand? If so there is a free workout called the Butt Bible that will help to shape and lift your booty and slim down your thighs. Tough but effective!

    Hahahah, I thought the point of good sprinters is that you barely get to see their backside as they disappear in the dust? =P

    you need to do heavy weights, with light repetitions in order to build up your backside. And up your animal proteins. I trained fitness competitors and this was key for my athletes. Easy to do if you do this:

    short burst sprints, short burst plyometrics, low rep. squats and lunges with resistance and weights

    these will absolutely do the trick if you exercise them hard every 3rd day. It will take at least 2 days to recover and when you are recovering. You must recover, you body is working on rebuilding the muscles and adding to them, so no walking, jogging, or elliptical during rest days or you will just be breaking down the muscles you are building up. Overtraining is the cause of no growth to a muscle group! Undertraining weights too. Women can bulk up their backsides pretty easily, you just have to know how.

    If you need your cardio, get swimming, rowing, rock climbling, paddling in as your substitutes for walking, jogging.... No backside burning if you want to build it up!

    Your goal is to build bigger, stronger glutes and hamstrings.

    best wishes, happy training.

    Yes!! I actually do, I was just surfing the Exercise channels the other day but didn't see that one, I will look tonight! I also have the Tae Bo Rocking Buns which I have been working with the past 2 weeks, I know its too soon to notice but I wanted to try new things!

    Thanks! :happy:

    Building a nice booty takes time so you have to be veryyyyyyy patient. Ive been doing 30 ds, No more trouble zones, Banish fat and Ripped since february but my glutes havent really responded to the training until after at least 3 months.

    You build nice glutes with a mix of lunges and squats and isolating moves like pelvic thrusts, bridges, single leg bridges, fire hydrants with a kick, and kickback. Google any of theese terms and you will find a lot of vidoes I can assure you.

    Deadlifts are good, be sure to have a good teqnic and lift heavy.

    Also look into Bret Contreras, he is the glutemaster!
  • I've been overweight for most of my life and never had a butt, lately, with the age, skin is loosening a bit and i can actually see a little curve on the back.
    I never found an exercise that grew by backside without giving me the legs of a rugby player, so i just had a tattoo on lower back: my husband says that he eventually knows where my back ends and butt starts :)

    cheer up girl, and wear veeery low neckline dresses ;)

    I wouldnt mind workout that grows the backside and thins out the inner thighs...other than that, I like my legs, even if they are a bit on the bigger side...

    And low neckline dresses? That's a CHECK! :happy:

    Maybe I should try that! My problem with all these workouts is that my knees start to hurt right away, they can't handle the pressure of all this lovely body of mine! :ohwell:
