Want a tighter butt? Try this!

 

Check these out, too...

  • 4 things that are killing your cardio workout
  • GL's Bikini Body Boot Camp is now in session!
  • Get your Gatsby on! Start the weekend with a seriously swell '20s-style workout
  • Short shorts-approved moves for toned legs
  • 3 bikini blaster Blogilates workouts
Yearning for a tighter tush? We’ve got the only move you need for a kick-butt booty! Add this move to your cardio workout a few times a week and look for results in 30 days.

 

Since sculpting is about muscle control rather than momentum, you want to do these moves as slowly as you can. Begin each sesh with a 5-minute warm-up, like walking or jogging in place. When your finished, stretch your bod out to give your muscles some relief.

 

The Side Step-Up

Stand to the right side of an exercise step-bench. Place your right foot on the step, toe pointing forward. Then, step sideways onto step, squeezing your buttocks and pressing your body weight into your right foot. Lift the left leg off the floor and to your left side as high as you comfortably can without your body tilting. Step down with your left foot first, then right. Repeat 15 times slowly on each side.

Mod Mod Mod!!! Please help!
ok i need help with a workout because i'm skinny and all but i need something to cut down my belly fat and give me more muscle(because i can't even do a push-up)! and i'm 14! and what could i eat for a healthy lunch if i'm super picky and allergic to peanuts&cheese.

 

Hey girl! Start out with some simple, small changes. It sounds like you want to build some muscle (which takes patience and time!), but it's certainly not impossible. Every morning when you wake up (or whenever you have a few spare minutes), practice doing one full pushup. Focus on your form--one excellent pushup is better than 50 incorrect pushups. If you are unsure of how to properly do a push up, you can find a tutorial on YouTube. Once you have the form down and can do one successfully, start doing two each morning. Each week, add a few more. Before you know it, you'll be able to do 20 awesome push ups! 

 

The best way to build muscle is to lift weights. Buy some weights that are heavy, but still possible for you to lift with good form. You can buy inexpensive weights from a sporting goods store or even Target. Just be sure to check with your doctor and parents first to avoid injury.


 

Your daily diet is key in cutting down belly fat. Aim for lots of fruits and veggies, lean sources of protein (like chicken and turkey), fish (like salmon), whole grains, and good fats (like avocados, olive oil). Nuts and seeds are also a great source of fat--are you able to eat almonds? Here are some great lunch options:


 

-Two pieces of whole grain bread with almond or sunflower seed butter and natural jam


-Greek yogurt with fresh fruit

-Turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach on two pieces of whole grain bread


-Salad loaded with veggies and chicken (with light dressing)

 

Remember, start out small and work your way up!

Hey chica! Sometimes, we get pretty busy over here and questions slip through the cracks. Keep asking, and we should eventually get to it.

Your question isn't on the list of unanswered posts, it's likely that another mod already answered it. Jordan S.
