Ok its all lovely loosing weight and I am loving most of the changes and have managed to get over my sagging boobs but seriously my butt is now representing a squashed apple.

I am 5,2 and currently weight 162lbs, i have another 10lbs to loose as a short goal so I know there is still more change to come but I need advice on what workouts will help save the shape. I workout at home using Insanity, BGWT and a few other dvd's, I have kettle bells and 5 pound dumbells.

I am squatting for dear life and I see great definition in my legs, more toned even the cellulite is going a little but the booty...

Help pleaseeee

    I'd like to hear the suggestions for this too. My butt is not as wide as it used to be thankfully but it's not near as...lifted, as I thought it would be at this point.

    Squats, Deadlifts, glute bridges, hip thrusts, lungeslungeslunges (all the lunges). Go heavy if you can and if you can't progress through more difficult body weight variations.

    Personally speaking, deadlifts and squats have been very helpful. I see a lot of others suggesting lunges and glute bridges as well.

    Add weights to your squats (heavy weights- I have finally worked up to 100lbs for 3 sets of 5!)

    Deadlifts (with proper form)
    Lunges
    Glute bridges


    Edited to add: I am also 5'2"

    These. Extra emphasis on the hip thrust and lunge.

    Glute Bridges have changed my life. My booty was never sore after lunges, deadlifts, squats but YIKES! Those glute bridges (did them with a 60lb. barbell) killed me!

    I can assure you, these ladies know their booties.

    Working out your butt is only going to make it more round and perky from what I have seen and experienced. I have been taking notes on Jen Shelters routine and find her inspirational despite a lot of the bad press she has. I want to know how to save my breasts tho! I have seen lots of fitness enthusiasts with breast implants and I can see why... in losing 12 lbs I lost a whole cup size in my bras :(

    Chest press (heavy), push ups, chest flys

    Because our breasts are made up of majority fat, cup size is bound to get smaller, maybe by a little, maybe by a lot. But in order to have them remain somewhat "perky" chest flies, push ups, flat, incline, and decline presses all help.
