I really really really want a nice butt...

Screw abs (of course, if someone is handing them out I'd get in line.) It's all about the booty for me. My rear is rather large and I have an 'exaggerated lumbar curve'... Basically, where my lower back meets my butt it's like a ski slope. I want to tone and tighten and lift that sucker UP! I've been squatting like crazy but lunges seem to hurt my knees (go figure) hopefully with more strength and better form I'll be able to do those too.

What body part are you working towards?

    A nice butt would be fantastic but I would be happy just to get rid of my muffin top. I am so tired of it hanging over the top of my pants. I just want it to be flat for once in my life.

    Try the Brazil Butt Lift workout dvd by Beach Body. That should help you.

    I'm working for nice legs!
    I haven't worn shorts in public since I was 9 years old because I'm embarrassed of my fat legs.

    Working out hard, getting cardio in as well as some lifting :)

    Not sure chick... Your profile is private but will check it out. ;)

    I've absolutely seen the Brazilian butt lift DVD... My birthday is coming up. Perhaps that's what I'll ask for!

    So far that's what I'm doing. About 1 month in I think the tush is looking a bit higher!

    Squats, deads, stiff legged dead lifts, good mornings...anything that activates the posterior chain.
  • I need to lose my mommy tummy but my thighs are like my signature body part, so I am working on toning my thighs and of course the booty since my mans a booty man.

    I second the Brazil Butt Lift suggestion. I did it a couple of years ago and it really worked. I've done other workouts and I've done them long enough to know what results I got from them. BBL was the best. My butt is...rather unfortunate...but BBL lifted and rounded it. I was really impressed. I should also add that it is a full body workout. My entire core improved so much with it. I need to give my body a little more time to recover from surgery and then I'll be starting BBL again. Maybe in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, anyway.

    I can't wait to try lifting and squatting like so many people suggest, but I do know from past experience, I noticed a significant difference in my tush from running and elliptical! The booty perked up, got more firm and round. I wasn't trying at the time just for that result but it was definitely a perk (see what i did there? lol) that I was happy about!

    I'm most interested in having a killer brain.
  • I want my legs to be like they were. Hard muscle with defined calves and quads. Oh and I love my collar bones and cheek bones when I'm thin, I'm not sure why those strike me as favorites, but they do. I wish I could have a butt. I've never had any. Even when I was 80 pounds heavier. I've now lost so much of it I have tail bone pain from sitting. Again. Long car rides are a real pain in the butt these days. Literally. Ahhh well. Better to be thin with a aching tail bone then to die young from weight related health issues.

    Whooo dirty jersey! Haha I have a bunch of DVD's that I can pick from buy most recently I've been doing Bob Harper's Inside Out Method. I think I got it from Target or Walmart months ago from one of those bins for like $4.00. It's got TONS of squats and dead lifts and all that stuff... Have to google 'good mornings' though. Thought that was a sex thing. Ha!

    Are you saying that the lovely women here who are aspiring to build their butts *don't* have a killer brain, or *don't* want one? I have a BA, a MA, and I'm working towards an EdS, with possible aspirations for a JD after my kids are a bit older. Oh, and I want a bangin' body too.:flowerforyou:
