Squats squats and more squats will tone and lift the butt. My hubby is a "big butt" man. Two weeks in he was complaining i was losing,mine, so i started squats. No more complaints and he cant keep his hands off even though i still have a looooong way to go on this journey0

Prioritize the exercise part of getting fit over the weight loss. Go for a balanced workout that hits all your muscle groups.0

@kbsangel1986 how long did it take you to start seeing a difference in your bum after you starting squatting?
How many do you aim for daily?
My butt needs alot more padding! I've just started the 30 day squat challenge. ..

squats alone are not going to tone and lift the booty. not to mention it takes time to lift and make it rounder(it also depends on your genes and how it will look with exercise).leg,hamstring and glute exercises can help,but you have to work your back,inner/outer thighs and so on as well to balance everything out. just like crunches alone wont get you a flat stomach.you also cannot prevent fat from coming off one area alone,just work the right muscles and it should help.But it may take awhile to achieve the results you want0

That's the thing, I don't even have any fat on my butt. I don't need to take fat off i need to build it up...0

Kick backs have really helped me! Weighted hip bridges and thrusts as well!0

@CharlieBeansmomTracey I'm not far from it. I'm only 147 at 5'7....so what type of exercise I need to do?0

thats why squats alone wont help and it helps when you do squats,lunges,etc that you use some type of weight too, but if you are in a deficit then you arent going to build it up like you may want. its still muscle so to build it you will have to be in a caloric surplus,especially if you dont have much fat there.christinev297 wrote: »That's the thing, I don't even have any fat on my butt.

Sumo squats, deadlifts, lunges... Unfortunately you can't target the weightloss but you can make certain muscles bigger and your butt is a muscle yay!!!! You want to gain mass you want to go heavy. Weightlifting is the best

what I have found that has helped lift and shape my butt(a little not much due to being in a deficit)Look up the names on google for videos on how to do them- is weighted squats(different kinds like sumo,prisoner,back and front),lunges(front and back,curtsy,side),leg lifts(front,back and side),supermans(helps your lower back too),hamstring curls(can be done at home or at the gym),squat jumps,bridges(cross legged,one leg lifted,)deadlifts,toe taps,thats just to name a few there are many of them out there that can help define your butt and it will help lift it some. I had a BIG saggy shelf butt as I call it. I dont have that now.@CharlieBeansmomTracey I'm not far from it. I'm only 147 at 5'7....so what type of exercise I need to do?

If you have access to a gym with a weight room, I would suggest a good lifting program like maybe Stronglifts 5x5 or Strong Curves is good too I hear and would focus more closely on what you want.0

IF,she is in a deficit the muscles are no going to get that big,she may get some newbie gains if shes never lifted before.she can strengthen the muscle which will make it look better, now if she is in a caloric surplus then yes she can build her butt up.nancyjay__ wrote: »Sumo squats, deadlifts, lunges...

Then I suggest a calorie to maintain weight then lift. She doesn't need to me on a surplus and depending on her body fat I probably won't suggest it. And I was talking to the OP the person who has no bf on her butt is not the OP0 -
let's start from the beginning. Are you on deficit surplus? Are you lifting already? How much do you weigh how tall. Do you know you're body fat?0

to build muscle you have to eat at a caloric surplus. if she has a lot of body fat then a deficit will help get rid of that but she can still lift and get stronger. I do and Im on a deficit.I did get newbie gains but that was before I started my deficit and MFP.you cant build much muscle if any in a deficit unless you are an exception to the rule.nancyjay__ wrote: »CharlieBeansmomTracey wrote: »

since we dont know how much fat she has or how much weight to lose then we have no clue.Like myself,I still have a good bit of body fat and I plan on losing it until I get to a healthy body fat then I plan on eating at a surplus to start building the muscle.I know eating what I do now is not going to build muscle(been working out almost 3 years)

You can build muscle at maintenance - it's called recomping - its slower than on a surplus, but it is possible. You possibly can also gain some muscle at a deficit, but it's less likely and if you do, will be even slower.0 -

Thank you but there are other questions there0 -
@nancyjay__ I'm only 147 at 5'7.... && I'm not sure what deficit surplus is I do not lift, just want my thickness tight (thighs && behind) I'm small breast, so I want my stomach, side && back tight.0

@CharlieBeansmomTracey I'm not sure what any of that is but I'm 147 and 5'7 .0

a surplus is when you eat over maintenance and a deficit is when you eat under maintenance(to lose fat and weight).0

Surplus of calories is when you eat more than needed to maintain current weight (which I don't recommend) deficit is when eating less than what is needed to maintain weight (what you need to lose weight) maintenance calories is what you eat to maintain current weight. Do you do any type of excersise?0 -

Ok what are newbie gains? Do they stop being newbie gains once you hit a certain weight of gains or? I'm confused. All gains are gains. And I don't think its good to recommend a surplus. People can only gain at MOST a lb of muscle a week at most and that's super pushing it mostly the rest is increase in glycogen stores, body fat and water. 20lbs a year of muscle is about the norm.0 -

The numbers you have are for men - and usually in the first year - women are about half that.
Newbie gains are really not defined as such and there is not a 'cut off' - as in one day you have them and one day you do not. You require very little stimulus for myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy when you start lifting and you have some very beneficial nutrient partitioning going on. As you get more experience, you require more stimulus and have less ability to take advantage of these benefits, for want of a better word.
Recommending a surplus is fine - but the individual facts should be considered.
"newbie gains' can be used in the context of strength and muscle gain. I tend to use the period of about 3 - 6 months as that is where you seem to see most difference in response - but that's just me.0
