It is hard to say as it does rely greatly on genetic factors. However, if you have a "booty" already it is likely those genetics already favor you in that regard. Squats do work wonders for shape as well as firmness but they must be done properly in order to maintain. Judging from you photo you look to be in pretty good…

If you really wanna hit those glutes go with deadlifts and straight leg deadlifts. I'll split my leg workouts into quad days and hamstring days.

Lean59man is exactly right on with this advice. If you are looking to build muscular definition (which in turn will burn off fat) the 8-12 rep range is ideal. Once you get into a good routine you can then start to mess around with things like drop sets and/or super sets. Remember though that perfect form is always more…

As a beginner it is recommended you start off with a three day split. Basically what that means is you hit your entire body three days a week with a rest day in between. Really focus on the major muscle groups to gain that initial strength. Work on nailing proper form before getting too heavy and you will see change. If…

One to two pounds a week is a near perfect place to be when losing weight. It is quite normal to see a slowing down in weight loss but that just means you may need to revaluate your current diet. How many calories are you taking in per day? A good rule of thumb for weight loss is to create caloric deficit of 250 to 500…

Looking GREAT! You have wonderful legs from what I can see. Keep it up!

Remember why you started in the first place! Take a photo of yourself that you can't stand and put it somewhere you'll see it everyday. If that doesn't motivate you to keep pushing I don't know what will. Keep at it!

Honey and cinnamon are definitely some of my favorites but recently I have been adding pomegranate seeds. If you can get good one's I highly recommend it.

Don't underestimate how much you need to be eating! It is by far the most common mistake among men looking to put on muscle mass. Judging by your height and weight you probably need to be consuming around 2500 to 3000 calories per day. "Clean bulking" is extremely difficult to do but you need to make sure you are getting…

Healthy eating doesn't have to be as complicated as we make it out to be. The first thing I'd highly recommend is to figure out what your resting metabolic rate is. Or rather, how many calories does your body burn off without accounting for exercise? There are plenty of resources on the web that can help you figure that…

Firstly, don't be so hard on yourself. Mistakes may have been made but they are now in the past and nothing can be done about that. Look to the future and use this as your motivation for change! It is apparent that you want to make big changes but you need to set realistic goals that will keep you motivated. Small changes…

This is an extremely common question/concern when it comes to getting in shape. There could be a number of different things holding you back in attaining your fitness goals. For one, the increase in weight may not be what it seems. With an increase in exercise there tends to be an increase in water consumption and it is…
