My favorite exercise to grow my glutes are listed below :

I wasn’t blessed with a fat bum so I have to work extra hard, I was very slimed for most of my life. I always had big quads but my bum wasn’t big at all, I would have to eat a lot to  get fat back there but sadly when you eat a lot your belly also gets bigger. The fat spread all around your body, it doesn’t go straight to your glutes, but I’ve been doing things differently and my glutes have grown!

Here’s what I am doing:

 In terms of eating I know that I have to eat a lot of protein to gain more muscle but I need to eat the right things! No more sodas, fast foods! Everything is home cooked but here and there I do eat out like if im watching my favorite show or watching a match but normally I cook something that I know I will like. 

1. Eat more protein instead of fat: eat a lot of Greek yogurt (even though I don’t like it but there’s 12grams of protein in there that’s a great source!) salmon, wild rice, quinoa, salads with avocados shrimp dressings sweet potatoes, chickpeas 
2. I scan all my meals on cal AI it’s an app I use on my phone ( it is not a free app but it’s affordable) I use it to see how much protein I am consuming daily to make sure that I am hitting that mark!
3. I eat a lot of oats! And peanut butter especially in my protein shakes 
4. I stopped eating candy, red meat, chocolate and sweet stuff because those are bad for your abs (getting abs is not easy at all, not only do you have to watch what you eat but you have to train your abs almost every time you work out for me it’s 5 times a week)
5. Drink lots of water especially on my rest days because I lose a lot of sodium when I am working out because I sweat, so drinking lots of water is great for muscle recovery.

In terms of working out 

1. The number one exercise you cannot skip if you want bigger glutes, is hip thrust! You can’t just skip that one! You have to do it especially if you have back pain it will help but you have to do it with proper form to see results because you might be targeting your quads more than your glutes so you have to make sure your feet are wide apart and flat on the floor, with your bra strap touching the bench and to really hold the weight when you push your hips up.
2. Another exercise you cannot skip is Bulgarian squats! I’m sorry those hurt a lot but you have to do them, but you have to push your glutes out and lean your body forward to really target the glutes with one leg back on the bench. Watch videos literally those educational videos save my life because at first, I wasn’t doing it right! 
3. Summo squats those are cult classic exercises! everyone knows if you want bigger glutes you have to do squats but what about the shape. You will need other exercises to target your side glutes and your upper glutes. Squats just widen your glutes if you want it to look really plumped you have to do other exercises like hip thrust…
4. Deadlift! Yes, this one is literally super easy, but you have to make sure to do it with proper form! 
5. RDL! You need those to make your but stick out more they help trust me!
6. Step ups I just started doing these and my glutes have changed drastically! 
7. Glute kickbacks you can do this on the cable machine or on the glute machine 
8. Leg press! Gosh I haven’t been doing these, but I will start this weekend but they do help a lot 
9. Don’t forget to rest in between each set because that is how the muscle recover and if you over work a muscle, it will shrink so don’t have a lot of leg days! I only have 2 or three the rest I just do upper body, and back 
10. Don’t forget to work out your upper body! I hate to see girls with big glutes and big bellies nooooo! Please work out your back for that hourglass figure, work out your abs every time you work out. 
11. If your upper body is big, you can't really see the glutes! We want to shine light on that back side so we have to thin out the waist here’s what I do: 1 minute plank rest and another minute plank until I can’t no more, side plank 3 sets of 30 seconds, running helps and bicycle crunches as well. 
12. Stair master this machine is the devil but it will tone your whole body! You have to get on it I usually go at level 5 and stay for 20-30 minutes on it. You are getting your steps in for the day, and you are toning your whole body.
13. I don’t use creatine powder anymore because it made me bloated, and I want my belly flat with abs! Plus, I don’t want to mess up my kidneys. I prefer to eat food to gain more muscle than to take supplements. Maybe I’ll change my mind later but that’s where I’m at right now.
