WELCOME HI BABE, WELCOME TO THE BOOTY BUILDING BIBLE! I’m so excited you’ve downloaded this guide and hope you LOVE the workouts as much as I do! This guide is perfect to help kick-start your fitness journey, or mix up your current workouts and give that booty some extra attention! I’ve created 5 killer workouts, focusing on your lower body and glutes. Ideally, you should use these workouts amongst some upper-body or cardio workouts to help sculpt your entire physique. This guide is yours forever, meaning you can repeat the workouts - trust me, they’ll always challenge you and you will always feel the burn! Hit me up on my Instagram and let me know how you’re getting on - I can’t wait to hear from you. Let’s get after it! TRAINING TERMS To set you up for success, I’ve given you some key words and phrases to get used to. These will be used in your training plan, so make sure you’re familiar with them! SET The amount of times you do a single exercise in a group. REPS The amount you repeat that exercise per set. SUPER SET: A set that includes two types of exercises in a row without resting between them. GIANT SET: A set that includes three or more types of exercises in a row without resting between them. DROP SET: Remove weight or resistance from an exercise and continue doing repetitions with a minimum rest (maximum 20 seconds). REST PAUSE SET: Rest 30 - 45 seconds after reaching the fault and perform more repetitions. TIME UNDER TENSION (TUT): Amount of time you use to complete a repetition. PARTIALS Making a repetition with a limited range of motion can be from the beginning to the middle or from the isometric point to the middle. ISOMETRICS: Perform pauses and contractions as described in the plan. ACTIVE REST / ACTIVE PAUSE: Perform aerobic exercise (jogging, skipping, etc) between sets to increase caloric expenditure. GLUTES WHY FOCUS ON THE BOOTY? Before I get into some technical stuff regarding glutes, I just wanna address the elephant in the room - we all want a peachy booty, right?! There is no shame in wanting to put on your favourite jeans, look in the mirror and think “daaaaamn baby got back!” However, we actually use our glutes a lot more than you probably realise to do basic movements like walking uphill, lifting things and even just standing up. Having strong glutes can also help avoid injury to your lower back, hips and knees. This is why it’s important to understand the reasons and benefits for glute-specific training beyond aesthetics. It’s important to focus on your technique when training your glutes, as the repercussions of poor form can result in injuring your lower back, hamstrings and hips. Training your glutes effectively will improve your ability to perform functional movements like walking, running and jumping, which will help your overall exercise performance. When you feel fitter overall, you’ll be more likely to do more exercise to continually improve! Pushing through the first few workouts is the hardest part, and once you start to see the benefits you won’t want to stop! I created The Booty Building Bible to help you improve your form, let you explore some exercises you may not have tried before and strengthen your glutes. Now, get ready to get your sweat on, feel the burn and build those glutes! GLUTES ANATOMY PARTS OF THE PEACH The gluteus is divided into three muscles, each of which has a different function. These are: Gluteus Minimus: The gluteus minimus is the smallest of the three muscles that make up the gluteus; it is located under the medius buttock and shares the same characteristics in terms of function and anatomy with it. They share the same points of origin and the insertions are practically the same, therefore this muscle contributes a large part of the stability of the hip as well. Gluteus Medius: The gluteus medius as well as the gluteus minimus are commonly known as the small gluteal muscles, and they share the same anatomy and functions. We can find the gluteus medius above the hip joint, covering the gluteus minor. This provides shape in the upper part of the gluteus and provides hip stability when standing on a leg. When you walk or when you run, if your gluteus medius is weak your hip stability is likely to be too, and this can cause long-term injury to the knees and lower back. Gluteus Maximus: The gluteus maximus is the largest of the three that make up this muscle group. It provides shape to your hips and buttocks. It’s divided two parts, the gluteus maximus superior and the lower. The gluteus maximus is undoubtedly one of the most important muscles in the body due to its different inserts, that allow extensor movements of the hip, hip abduction and hip rotation. In brief, it handles most of the movements in daily life. In order to maximise results when training glutes, you should complete a variety of workouts that work all of these muscles. This guide gives you a range of different glute-focused <exercises to make sure you’re hitting each of these muscles! WORKOUT We are going to do each routine with a day of complete rest between them, avoid doing the routines all the days in a row, in this way we can respect the rest and recovery time necessary to see positive changes.
