Doing lunges,squats,leg lifts, but still have a saggy butt!?

Tushies aren't built in a day.

Give it time.

Define "weight".

more than likely what you need to do is lose fat, which exercise doesn't do.

I was listening to a podcast of a fitness professional who is also trying to build a better *kitten*. She is working with a trainer and even though she can see a vast improvement, she thinks it will probably take at least a year before her *kitten* is where she wants it to be. Be patient, it'll get there.

donkey kicks dont do anything. jane jonda did tons of those back in the 80's and like sir mixx a lot noted "fonda aint got a motor in the back of her honda"

what's your form like on your lunges and squats? for squats to work your butt you need to get your hips parallel to the ground or below. lunges can't be half ones either, once again hips parallel or below.

and push through the heels and squeeze your butt on the way up on squats.

only ten minutes???? my leg routine was yesterday and it lasted about 1hr 15 mins…squats and sumo DL's were about 40 minutes of that…just saying..

I would say ..eat in a deficit, and develop a better overall strength routine..

starting strength and new rules of lifting for woman are great resources….

beat me to it. ten minutes is nothing. girl i know with a flat *kitten* has been working hard for a year, doing legs twice a week for about an hour each time. she's got a great looking booty now.

It's hard to get what you mean by "sag lines". If you have recently lost a ton of weight really quickly then you may be cutting too fast and your skin can't adjust in time to keep up. Remember the skin is an organ - if you give it a few weeks - months it will eventually shrink to fit.

If this is not the case, then your sag lines will be excess fat. In this case, you need to cut the fat by going on a calorie deficit for a few weeks. In this time continue with your exercises and maybe do some cardio. I would recommend sprints, cycling and swimming over jogging.

If you are trying to get a bigger bum / legs you will need to lift heavier weights. Realistically you can get away with just doing squats and deadlifts. Those two exercises alone will cover everything you need. If you still want to do isolation exercises. forget donkey kicks and look instead at exercises for the gluteus medius which will will give more shape to your hips and bum. Don't forget to work your core - this will help with squats and deadlifts!

Hope this helps

Barbell hip thrusts are AWESOME.

Also, someone mentioned Bret Contreras. His programme is good!

You need to up your game with the weights. Keep going progressively higher with the weight.

A common problem when doing these workouts it that the psoas and the gluteus minimus will fire, but the maximus and medius will not. The round booty that everyone wants is all maximus and medius. The psoas is inside the pelvic wall and is great for stability, but it won't do anything for your butt. You really need to squeeze those cheeks together.

The things that fire those muscles in particular are glute bridges, hip thrusts, glute ham raise and seriously weighted (I'm talking 80 pounds weighted) donkey kicks on the glute machine (if your gym has the machine).

Go on to youtube look up befit they have a butt lift program and get enough protien (45 grams a day is for the inactive)
