Im boxing 4 times a week. This is helping big time with my rear and legs-tons of squats and helping with upper body strength too that I have been lacking. I just feel like I can be doing more.

Looking for advice for a better tush and tummy. Any workout videos or routines anyone can suggest?

Thanks

    Compound movements. Squats, deadlifts, etc.... It's not going to spot reduce and areas, but you'll be a bigger fan of your results once you given yourself enough time to lose the overall BF% it takes to uncover your belly through caloric deficit - work (cardio and compound movement) - patience.

    Boxing is an excellent workout, isn't it? Boxing was actually what made my tummy slimmer, but if you're looking for more, I would say decline situps, and increase the weight you hold as you get better. It will definitely help for strength. For tush, you're already doing it. Squats and lunges are your best bet.

    These are great for gaining strength, but reducing your body fat % will overall improve your appearance.

    Great advice...yes I need to work on the patience as well. I will work on deadlifts when I get some equipment, but will continue with squats and lunges until then...

    and yes I absolutely LOVE my boxing class!!!

    If you are looking for a DVD program try the Brazil Butt Lift it does a great job all over especially the butt and abs. I loved it and am doing it again.

    not to belabor this point- but just to make this clear... boxing didn't make your tummy slimmer. a calorie deficit did.

    I have wondered about that...I will check it out. I have the Buns of Steel (lol) from the 90's...was thinking of putting that in the VCR tonight and giving it a chance!

    Have you tried Hip Thrust for you booty? I've been doing those w/ the barbell and I can feel it working! utube it, I'm following the trainer Brad Contreras. For your belly.... abs are made in the kitchen, right?

    I have not heard of it but I'll look into it. Anything like zumba?

    Yes, abs are made in the kitchen, and honestly that is the hardest part!

    I'm seconding the hip thrust / hip lifts. I do mine weighted, and it works the butt like crazy. Like everything, start with a light weight to make sure you are engaging the correct muscles before adding heavier weight.

    Yup and yup.

    Also, if you have a hill, school track, or open park near you try doing sprints.
