Beach Season? No problem!

Beach season is coming up soon and it always seems like people are scrambling to get in shape this time of year. The top two issues I have discovered are abs and buns.

I spoke about  abs before,so in this post, I will tell you how to get your buns toned for swim-suit season.

I'm sure you have heard of "Brazilian Butt Lifts" and other programs like that which promise quick results, for any woman (or man) out there. However, what they fail to take into account is different body types. What is someone is skinny and they want a bigger butt? What if the person has a lot of excess pounds and they'd like to slim down?

Your glutes are broken down into three different parts: The Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius, and Gluteus Minimus. All three muscles should be worked out to create optimal atheistic and strength.

My personal favorite glute workout is a good, old-fashioned squat. I don't squat with a bar, however, because I always end up hurting my back/neck. Instead I try to find a machine that I have to push the weight up vertically (as opposed to horizontally). This exercise really helps add good mass, and reduce bad mass (AKA fat).

The machine looks a little bit like this: 

What also is really beneficial is building up the back of your legs using a single leg curl machine. They look like this: 

Now these exercises are not done at home, but if you want quicker results, than a quick workout at the gym is necessary. However, if you just do not have time to go to the gym. There are some alternatives, but they will take longer and will not have such potent results.

1. Lung forward with heavy weights in your hands for a long distance (like walking down your street).

2. Buy exercise bands, but them around your angles, step sideways, and squat.

3. Fill a back-pack with heavy books and lung (be careful to have the straps set correctly, or you can hurt your back).
