If you’re looking to grow your lower body, lift that butt, grow those glutes and train your quads, calves and hamstrings look no further. Today in the gym I took a quick video to show you all my favorite exercises to get some lower body gains. First let me say that this is a tough workout and it took me over an hour to complete so be prepared. I also must stress that this is all about focusing on good form and adding weight to help with growth. I love to train my lower body and right now it’s one of my biggest focuses. I want to get more full ness in my glutes, more definition and tone in my quads and work on my glute/hamstring tie in. I have been strength training for over five years and even though I still want more gains in my lower body I have come so far. If you saw me when I started I was 103lbs and I had almost no butt at all. I was skinny with no real shape. My arms were pin thin, I had cuts or definition in my back or arms – so even though I’m not where I want to be just yet – I am so much closer to my goals than I was when I started, and isn’t that the idea of progress anyway? Always have more to push and strive for?! I think so!

I found your website as I was doing research on Latisse vs. Eyelash extensions (I have extensions now but am looking for something that will let me wear liquid eyeliner – and the fact I can’t really use good makeup remover all the way down to my eyelashes with extensions drives me crazy!) I am a working mom and entered my first Spartan race (San Francisco Stadium Sprint May 14th). I am the opposite of you – I can run miles and miles, but I dread weight lifting. So even though I can run a bunch, I don’t have any muscle tone to speak of. You look fantastic! I would kill for 14% bodyfat. My body hovers right around 22%. (Which is okay, nothing wrong with that.) Thanks for being such a good blogger.
Love the leg/glute day videos but I don’t belong too a gym so I don’t have access to the big machines. Can you make a video using only Dumbbells for a leg/glute builder day?
sure thing, i do add a mix in my videos but i’ll try to do one without any machines soon! 🙂
