GLUTE BUILDER BODY TONER TAYLORKAYTEEE INTRODUCTION Hey you! Welcome to my fitness plan. I am so excited for you to start this journey with me! My Fitness Journey I started my fitness journey three years ago, it’s been a bumpy ride but also a huge experience. I have learned so much in the process and achieved so many goals of mineyep it feels amazing! Now I want to try and help people achieve their goals too, This guide is based on years of experience, trialling many different exercises, combinations of exercises, supersets, pyramid sets… everything! I’m so happy to finally share this with you! In this guide you will find: - Scientific background to the gluteus muscles (in other words, the booty!) Scientific background on how to grow muscle Nutritional GUIDELINES (not an eating plan, but a guide to help you) Information about warming up An 8 week fitness plan containing: - 1 ab workout per week - 1 upper body day per week - 2-3 Leg/Glute days per week - Access to this guide on the AFLETE app, with a workout tracker and videos for each exercise! One last thing… PLEASE take progress pictures (the best way to track your progress) and send them to me once you have completed the 8 weeks. I can’t wait to see!

Many people do not notice improvements because the exercises they are doing are proportionately growing their legs (quads, hamstrings) therefore making glute growth less noticeable! To grow your glutes at a higher ratio to the rest of your lower body, you need to be performing more isolation exercises in your lower body training day! Isolation exercises specifically target a primary muscle e.g. the gluteus maximus. high weight/low reps OR low weight/high reps? The gluteus maximus consists of 2 types of muscle fibres : 50% slow-twitch muscle fibres 50% fast-twitch muscle fibres Slow-twitch muscle fibres show greater muscle growth when lighter weights are li"ed until failure (also known as, high reps, low weight). Slow-twitch fibres cannot grow as large as fast-twitch fibres. However, slow-twitch fibre growth is still very significant if you want to maximise gluteal hypertrophy. An example of the importance is that body builders appear more muscular than powerli"ers - powerli"ers are focusing on high weight, almost ignoring their slow-twitch fibres. 4 SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND ‘How can I build a booty?’ The golden question! However, the answer is not as simple as you may think. To succeed in building muscle… you must understand HOW muscles grow and what you can do to inflict this. The aim is muscle hypertrophy (muscle gain). There are 2 primary mechanisms for hypertrophy: Mechanical tension : passive elastic tension - placing tension on a muscle by stretching it without letting it contract active tension - placing tension on a muscle by flexing it as hard as possible through an isometric contraction. When you li" weights through a full range of motion, the muscles are placed under a combination of passive and active tension Metabolic stress : The burning feeling you get when you’re targeting a muscle and the pump you receive. This is brought around by: the occlusion of veins by the persistent muscle contractions, preventing the blood from escaping. the lack of oxygen supply in muscles due to veins being trapped the build up of metabolic byproducts (lactate) and increased hormonal surge the cell swelling. Resulting in a ‘pump’ - this is due to the pooling of blood Both of these mechanisms must be utilised with progressive overload (basically, the increase in stress on the muscle). Throughout time, your muscles get bigger/stronger and what once fatigued your muscles… may no longer! This is where progressive overload comes in. You must be challenging yourself and making greater demands from your skeletal muscle regularly. This is essentially ‘shocking’ your muscles…making sure they don’t get used to your routine! 5 NUTRITION So where does nutrition come in? Building ‘muscle proteins’ requires a variety of amino acids, some of these are obtained via food. When you exercise, the body needs more amino acids than usual to repair damaged muscle fibres, Strength training works synergistically with optimal caloric and protein intake to repair and build muscle protein, resulting in muscle hypertrophy. Protein Protein is said to be the most important macronutrient for growing muscle and loosing fat. Most studies indicated that a protein intake of 1.6-2.0 g/kg/day is sufficient to maximise muscle protein synthesis and optimise strength gains and hypertrophy. Most studies conclude that the time of day and amount of meals doesn’t matter as long as you reach the daily goal! Carbohydrates Carbs are important for fuelling your workouts and keeping your energy levels high. If you lack energy, you will not perform to your maximum ability in your weight li"ing session (therefore less gains). Fat Many people are scared of eating fat. However, fat is important in many ways including, maintaining hormone levels, performance reasons, taste and feeling satisfied with your meal. In terms of total calories, to get an EXACT number, it completely depends on your body, including: your metabolism, you body fat%, lean mass etc. however, you can use online calculators that will give you a general idea which will be close enough. Example Macros I weigh 54kg and I am eating in calorific surplus for muscle gain. This will not necessarily work for you and should only be used as a guide! Calories: 1850 Carbohydrates: 254g (55% of my intake) Protein: 93g (20% of my intake) Fat: 51g (25% of my intake) You can track your calorific intake by either writing it down in a diary or you can download an app for your phone. I recommend ‘MyFitnessPal’. 6 WARMING UP Most people in this day and age spend a lot of time sitting down (usually sat at a desk all day for work). This can result in your glutes becoming ‘underactive’ - less active than they should be. They can loose blood supply and neural input! This is where warming up and ‘glute activation’ comes in! Warming up your glutes is simply contracting your gluteus muscles prior to a workout to prepare them for a workout. Warming up is also important before any strenuous activity so that you don’t risk injury and can get the most out of your workout Glute activation exercises can be body weight or with a resistance band. Exercises include: Squats, Glute Bridges, Donkey Kickbacks, abduction. Try and do as many reps of these as you can until you feel your glutes firing up! STAYING MOTIVATED Everybody has times where they’d rather stay at home and watch the rest of a season on Netflix, it’s completely normal for the novelty of the gym to wear off when you aren’t seeing results as quickly as you’d imagined. However, this is what separates people who succeed their goals and people who don’t! If you start getting into the habit of thinking ‘i’ll just skip it today, I can go tomorrow’ it will become a never ending cycle (trust me, I know!) Don’t have a day off because you’re pushing your problems into tomorrow. If you’re going to have a day off, let it be because you’ve been working hard and consistently and you DESERVE a day off. These are my tips for staying motivated: 1 Listen to your favourite music while working out - the gym will become your escape and ‘you time’ 2 Understand the importance of exercise (past the superficial basis) - wanting to be healthy is just as important as wanting to look good! 3 Be a bit narcissistic! - you’re working hard and you deserve to check yourself out! Look in the mirror at the gym and be proud of your progress, even if its baby steps. 4 Take a friend to the gym with you - there is nothing better than having a girly catch up while growing a booty 5 PROGRESS PICTURES - i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again ! It is the best feeling looking back at where you started 7 WORKOUT OVERVIEW WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 Day 1 - Legs Day 1 - Legs Day 1 - Legs Day 2 - Ab Circuit Day 2 - Ab Circuit Day 2 - Ab Circuit Day 3 -
