BOOTY 1 6 WEEK PLAN Build muscle tone tighten reduce appearance of cellulite BOOTY 1 BOOTY BY RAH RAH Welcome! Welcome to the Booty 1 plan! I’m so happy you have chosen me to help you on your fitness journey and build that booty, yay! ☺ This plan is a compilation of all my favourite and most effective booty exercises, that I do on a regular basis. I’ve paired them up in supersets to give you the best booty pump “ Hehe “ I have an Instagram page (@bootybyrahrah) where you can find all the video demos in case you’re unsure of a certain exercise. Now let’s get to it! Happy booty building and don’t forget to send before and after’s and lots of progress pictures. Special instructions Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water during training and throughout the day! Always warm up for at least 5 minutes before you start your workout. You can do 1 min intervals of jumping jacks, skipping or your choice of cardio machine. Always cool down and stretch post workout! Keep your workout no longer than 60 – 90 minutes. Keep rest periods no longer than 60 – 90 seconds. A Superset is q combination of two or three exercises that are done back to back with no rest in between.

BOOTY 1 BOOTY BY RAH RAH The workout You’re going to follow the plan from weeks 1 to 3, at the end of those 3 weeks you’ll start over repeating weeks 1 to 3, A total of 6 weeks. ☺ Each week includes 3 booty days. It is up to you how you would like to split up your week. What I suggest is, Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Monday, Thursday, Sunday, just keep in mind you want to give your body at least 1 day to recover that muscle group. I also advise you to do some upper body training on your days off from the booty workouts to keep everything tight and toned. Choosing a weight to use When deciding what weight to use, the choice is yours. Just because I’m using an empty bar in the example doesn’t mean that’s the weight you’re going to be comfortable with. Important note: the weight I use in the pictures and videos is just for demo it’s not the weight you’re meant to use ☺ first I want you to do one set without any weight at all. Feel the movement and focus on your glutes. Making sure you’re pushing through your heels, that you’re not feeling it in your lower back or quads, that your core is engaged and tight. You can play around with foot angle, stance width and pelvic alignment to find the position where you feel it most in your glutes. Once you’re able to contract and feel your glutes working then add weight. Gradually increase the weight from set to set. If and when you get to a point where you can no longer feel the muscles working as you did when the weight was lighter, you’re probably working too heavy and need to take some weight off until that connection is re-established. Form is important when working your glutes. You want to be contracting your glutes on every rep. If you want great glutes it’s about training muscles, not lifting weights. Your goal should be to achieve the highest quality of muscle contraction on every rep of every set. Over time your glutes will get stronger and you will able to progress to heavier weights. BOOTY 1 BOOTY BY RAH RAH Glute activation ACTIVATION makes the connection from your mind to your muscle, getting the muscle fired up and ready to go. You’re going to pick 2 of the 4 exercises below, before you start your workout! Do 1 set of 25 reps for each.

Portion size 1 palm determines your protein portion. 1 cupped hand determines your carb portion. BOOTY 1 1 fist determines your veggie portion. 1 thumb determines your fat portion BOOTY BY RAH RAH Portion control 1 palm of protein with each meal 1 fist of vegetables with each meal 1 cupped hand of carbs or fruit with 3 meals 1 thumb of fat with 2 meals Note; You want to eat your carbs around your workouts (Before and after) for best results. Adjust your portions based on hunger, fullness or other reasons. If you’re trying to gain weight, and you’re having trouble you can add a cupped palm of carbs or another thumb of fat. If you’re trying to lose weight but seem to have stalled, you can eliminate a cupped palm of carbs or a thumb of fat. Cheat meal! 2 times a week and you must earn it! The strategy that I absolutely love is done by “banking” the majority of your carbs and fats for your cheat meal. The way to do this is by fasting before the meal so if you’re cheating at dinnertime you’ll move my first meal to later in the day (lunchtime) to reduce the number of hours you’ll be eating. That will not only save calories, but also shifts your body into “fat burning” mode BOOTY 1 BOOTY BY RAH RAH Food ideas Starchy and complex carbs Oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice (basmati, long grain), Ezekiel bread, rice pasta, beans, lentils, cream of rice, quinoa, pumpkin, butternut squash, beets Fruits Grapefruit, apples, blueberries, cantaloupe, oranges, bananas, peaches, Grapes, strawberries, pineapple, black berries, plums, pears, acai berries, mango Veggies Broccoli, kale, asparagus, spinach, salad greens, tomatoes, peppers (green and red) onions, mushrooms, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, green beans, peas Proteins Eggs, vegan protein powder, chicken and turkey breast, nuts (walnut, almonds, pecans) pumpkin seeds, tofu, seitan, grass fed beef, canned tuna (solid white in water), wild cod fish, wild salmon, rainbow trout, Greek yogurt, beans, lentils Healthy fats Flaxseed, almonds, olive oil, avocado, walnuts, extra virgin coconut oil, salmon (wild), peanuts, grass fed butter (unsalted), olives, hemp seed oil, pecans, cashews, dark chocolate BOOTY 1 BOOTY BY RAH RAH
