    You can have mine! It's sticking around forever it seems. And the girls, too. Ugh!

    Not sure how to regain the butt, perhaps lifting weights or squats or dead lifts can enhance the muscle definition in that region?

    Lots of Squats, lunges, step ups, etc....with weights.....Eat protein....Repeat.

    At least that's how I'm attempting to get one, (though I'm building from scratch :sad: )

    Air Squats, heavy squats, straight leg dead lifts, and lunges. If you run long distance switch to sprints. Running will make an *kitten* disappear.

    barbell hip thrusts/glute bridge produces More glute (thats your butt muscles) activation than any other exercise. (yes more than squats and lunges)


    google them to learn how to do it correctly, also google 'bret contreras''

    By building up some muscle in your butt area!

    [Weighted] squats..lunges...deadlifts are fantastic! I LOVE the improvement in my legs/butt since I started those lifts! Also, the deeper you go in squats, the more you work your glutes/hamstrings, as opposed to just your quads.

    I dont think u can really make urself have a bigger butt if u have the genes for a small one, but u can shape and lift the one u have. I'm trying Brazil Butt Lift for my tiny booty.
    I do lunges and squats like every day as well. I lift heavy too, but I dont think it will make my butt bigger cuz that's not how I'm made.

    The Butt Bible you can watch it on youtube You do level 1 for two week, level 2 for two weeks, level 3 for 2 weeks. Lower level mondays, upper levels on tuesday, rest or cardio on wed, then lower thursday, upper friday, rest on weekends. It is tough but I just finished my first two weeks of level one and am already seeing good results. Will lift and tone that area. :) Good luck :)

    You can't get bigger, but if you do lots of squats and lunges, it will get rounder. :happy: And rounder is better than big sometimes!

    squats lunges and dead lifts.

    i rather trade in my jiggles for a tight toned bubble that looks kissable in a thong. :flowerforyou:

    So don't take this the wrong way, but a fit butt is a sexy butt...

    No doubt! I had a butt all of my life and lost it when I got down to about 122. For me the bubble on the top portion is what disappeared. I've begun to incorporate, I'm not sure the name for it so I'll describe it, on my knees and elbows, pull one knee forward and then back to a straight leg, lifting it as high as I reasonably can, with an extra little bounce-lift at the top of the extension turning my leg out. I do 3 sets of 25 on each leg. This seems to get the muscle high on the rear. After a few weeks I'm starting to notice of difference. Good luck!

    I think that might be called a donkey kick. I forgot all about those. I used to do them all the time.
