Look back at it.
I have to say one of the best ways to grow the glutes is by eating more, running less if you’re a former sprints lover like me, choose the stairmaster more for cardio.
All of these were key for me to grow bigger glutes aka junk in the trunk except I fuel up with predominantly healthy foods now over doing a dirty bulk so I keep my gut health in check too. Hope these tips help you as well!

The Vertical Leg Press is one of my favorite leg machines. It places more emphasis on the glutes and hamstrings. This is a high intensity leg strengthening specialty machine that is surely going to make you feel the burn. 🔥 Try it out if your gym has one and let me know what you think.

Walking lunges for days!

Spring Cleaning. Put in the work now so you can have the body you want this spring & summer. There is still plenty of time to clean up your diet aka toss the processed garbage in your pantry and start being consistent with your routine. Because I can tell you that I as someone who used to run to these quick fixes in hopes of cuttings corners quicker they do not work.
The majority of quick fixes are meant to leave you feeling malnourished, drained, fatigued, irritable, moody and doing the yo-yo dieting. The way to real results is by doing what it really takes proper nutrition and hitting the gym on the regular. You ready to make some serious changes?

Instead of mic drop, let’s see those glutes drop. Squats do a 🍑 good helping to make it rounder, firmer & perkier.
The Smith Machine is better for targeting your glutes and hamstrings.
You’re going to place your feet about 3-6 inches in front of the bar.
Keep your legs hip distance apart.
Shift your weight backwards into your heels.
Brace your abs as you begin to lower into a squat.
Keep your head and spine in a neutral position.
Your knees should be as close to 90° as possible.
Squeeze your glutes on the way up.
Complete the desired amount of reps per set.

Part of living a healthy & active lifestyle means not only worrying about what the scale tells you when it comes to your weight, or how much you can lift in the gym. What matters most is that you take your vitamins, get good sleep, limit processed foods, focus on eating, predominantly, healthy meals, drink enough water daily, catch a little sunlight every day, reduce sedentary ways, and getting outside in nature.
All of these contribute to you being an overall healthier person and living a higher quality of life.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re single or taken I hope you cherish this day as we should everyday. Take a little extra time today to reflect on where your strengths and shortcomings are. How do different areas of your life look when it comes to self love, confidence, communication, relationships, embodying the person you wish to come and attract into your life.
The saying goes how you do one thing is how you do everything. So in that case focus on building up not only your muscles, but also the important aspects of life in order to complete the puzzle according to how you really desire to live it.
Make a promise to yourself to treat yourself right regardless of how anyone else chooses to. Own your goals and follow through on the effort it takes to achieve them. Expand on areas where you can improve and never stop striving to become a better human, lover, sibling, friend, etc. It all starts with the magic of being you.
Cheers 🥂

Happy SuperBowl Sunday weekend. I hope you don’t forget to stop and smell the roses 🌹 aka enjoy the sweet moments of life you get the privilege of creating.
Sometimes we can all get caught up in the grind of life, that it may be easy to miss out on the fulfilling joys of spending fun moments making memories with the ones we care about most. A stale routine will also lead to burnout. So let’s avoid that at all costs shall we?!
So today whether you’re training or not. I actually have all weekend and it feels incredible. I hope you take time to do something fun for yourself. Attend an event, spend time with friends, complete some self care. Relaxation and rewarding yourself is also necessary. We aren’t robots, and weren’t meant to act like it. So in the fun of switching things up get out there, let go a little and LIVE.

🔥 Weighted Glute Kickbacks make for a great way to work your glutes. If you want an easier alternative you can do them without weights. A more challenging alternative way would be on the machine kicking it up a notch by raising the weight. Remember to squeeze on the way up or out if using a machine to really feel the burn.

Strong 💪🏽 and Sexy. It’s possible to be both. You don’t have to choose just one although society might lead you to believe that.
It’s possible to be confident not conceited. It’s important to have a healthy sense of self. Understand your strengths and weaknesses. What can you expand on, work on to make better. Believe in yourself and the gifts you bring to the world. Learn to care for the overall well being of your physical, mental, emotional & spiritual states. To be a well balanced human first you must realize you’re capable of far more than you ever probably imagined was possible. Learn to challenge the status quo and rise above it.

When in doubt lunge it out. Don’t know what to do for leg day, lunges are great for building your quadriceps aka your quads.
Tips for lunging:
Tighten and engage your core. Tuck your hips so that the lower part of your back is not arched.
You want to bend both knees to 90 degrees until your right thigh is parallel to the floor.
At the bottom of your lunge, your right shin should be about perpendicular to the floor with your right foot remaining flat onto the floor.
Get fired up by doing this unilateral move during your next leg sesh.

Who’s with me training on the weekend a bit?
I usually take the weekends off from training. However, lately I’ve enjoyed challenging myself a bit more when most people are relaxing. Which is totally fine by the way especially if you go hard in the gym during the week. Today I’m going to smash a leg/ glute session. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

Stretch & sprint is the goal for todays cardio focus.
Today the focus is doing some quick sprints for the first time in a while. So stretching the legs and calves are going to be key for smooth runs without risking injuring anything from lack of stretching. Fine tune your stretch before you run far enough to reach your goal body.
Then we’ll focus on quick short bursts of running as fast as we can to get our metabolism boosted, energy up, and mood feeling elated. Time to run.

Get out in the sun! It’s a beautiful day to feel good with the Vitamin D flowing through your skin.
Did you know you can help beat the blues of seasonal depression, sadness and moodiness by getting about 15-30 minutes of sunlight a day.
If you’re feeling unmotivated and can’t remember the last time you got out in the sun, try going outside to mix up your routine and watch your mood and state of mind change along with it.

Did you know as you squat your head is supposed to stay in line with your spine. You’re not supposed to look up. The same goes for deadlifting, proper form means allowing your head to remain in line with your spine not looking up at yourself in the mirror when bringing the barbell down.
MANY people do this, in-fact I used to do it myself a long time ago. Incase you didn’t know, now you do. Let’s squat, lift & drop it down low properly.
