LET’S BEGIN! WELCOME TO THE BBR 6 WEEK COMPLETE GLUTE GUIDE! Growing, shaping and toning my glutes has been an important focus of mine throughout my fitness journey. I started with a flat booty and very "up and down" physique. Building my glutes changed my figure and was the key to unlocking the bikini body that I craved. Over the past years, I have trialled and tested various training methods on myself (and my clients!) to find what is truly the most effective way to develop the perfect glutes. In this guide, I have shared my favourite workouts to help you achieve just this. Our glutes are the biggest muscle in our bodies, and there is a lot more that goes into growing your glutes than simply squatting! Our glutes are made of three muscles; the maximus, medius, and minimus. In order to build well-rounded glutes, it's important that we target all three of these muscles, and that is exactly what I've included in this guide. Below you will find my favourite glute activation exercises, as well as my favourite workouts to help you sculpt your booty! ladies, mind muscle connection is key when training your glutes. Make sure you perform each exercises correctly and contract your glutes with each movement.

Enjoy!

THE WORKOUTS IN THIS PROGRAM INCLUDE BOTH PURELY WEIGHTED SESSIONS AND HIIT. WEIGHT TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL FOR MUSCLE GROWTH, AS IT INCREASES OUR METABOLISM AND ABILITY TO BURN FAT POST WORKOUT, AS WELL AS BEING AMAZING FOR HORMONE HEALTH. I’ve included weighted HIIT, cardio and plyometric movements to ensure you tone and sculpt your entire body and stay lean, whilst obtaining growth in the glutes. This type of training protocol elevates your heart rate quickly and then keeps your heart rate up, allowing you to burn more fat in less time. HIIT increases the body’s need for oxygen during the training, creating an oxygen shortage, causing your body to ask for more during your recovery. This after burn effect is referred to as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) and is the reason why intense exercise will help burn more fat and calories than regular training does.

I DO NOT GIVE WEIGHT OUTLINES IN MY PROGRAMS AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS SIMPLE; EVERYONE IS AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL IN THEIR FITNESS JOURNEY AND EVERY PERSON HAS DIFFERENT STRENGTH LEVELS. SO, THE QUESTION IS THEN, HOW DO YOU CHOOSE YOUR WEIGHT? When you choose your weight, I want you to consider two things; Is this weight challenging for the reps and exercise given? Am I still performing good quality reps using this weight? The key is to choose a weight which is challenging for you, but still allows you to perform your reps with the correct form. Never sacrifice form for weight! I would aim to slightly increase your weights each week. If you feel like you are getting stronger and the weight is no longer challenging, you then up your weight. You have to be able to push and challenge yourself. T

THE HOLY GRAIL OF GLUTE ACTIVATION WOULD DEFINITELY BE THE BOOTY BAND! As many of you know, booty bands are my absolute favourite way to activate my glutes prior to a booty or leg session and they equally as fantastic for keeping tension on your glutes during the session itself. Before a leg day, I always suggest that my BBR girls ‘activate’ or fire up their glutes, the reason for this is that in order to grow your glutes, they need to be switched on. Most people cannot develop their glutes effectively because they cannot activate or ‘fire’ their glutes correctly during their training sessions. What this means, is that instead of your glutes doing the work in your lower body sessions, the other parts of your legs are compensating, leading to growth in the hamstrings and quadriceps but not the glutes. Glute activation techniques such as booty band work or ankle weight sessions help us to form a deeper mind to muscle connection between our brains and our booty. This connection allows for an increased burn and blood flow to the working muscle during our training, resulting in more effective glute sessions and increased muscle growth. The burn you feel with these bands are no joke and I can honestly say that since adding band work to my sessions regularly, my glutes have developed like never before!

W H AT I S FA S T E D C A R D I O ? Fasted cardio is ‘the cardio completed when your body is no longer processing food and insulin levels are at a low, baseline level’ (legionathletics.com/ fasted-cardio/). For example, going for a walk straight after waking up without consuming any food. Research shows that by doing cardio in a fasted state upon waking, you can burn up to 20% more fat than if you had consumed a meal. By doing this, you increase the rate of both lipolysis (the breaking down of fat cells for energy) and fat oxidation (the burning of this energy by cells). Fasted cardio also helps to reduce ‘stubborn fat’ around the abdominal region by increasing the blood flow in this area.

OPTIONS FOR FA S T E D C A R D I O ( L I S S ) • Stairs or stepper • Elliptical trainer
 • Incline treill walk • Walking outside • Bike Complete 40 – 60 minutes of LISS Cardio.

HIIT TRAINING HIIT increases the body’s need for oxygen during training, creating an oxygen shortage, which causes your body to ask for more during your recovery. This after burn effect is referred to as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) and is the reason why intense exercise will help burn more fat and calories than regular training does.

RECOVERY + R E S T D AY S L E T ’ S TA L K R E CO V E R Y A N D R E S T DAY S Resistance training breaks down body tissues and muscles, causing microscopic tears. Rest days give your muscles, nerves, bones, and connective tissues time to recover and rebuild. When you implement excessive amounts of exercise without having a proper rest day and if you don’t have adequate time for recovery, you may experience decreased performance, fatigue, altered hormonal states, poor sleeping patterns and a lowered immune system. The rejuvenation process is so important. This requires adequate amounts water (2.5- 3L if you are doing my guide), proper nutrition, good quality sleep (8 hours), ample amounts of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and recovery supplements. These things allow your body to rebuild its tissues letting them grow back stronger. Your rest day and type of rest will depend on how advanced you are and your intensity of training. If you’re just now starting out in the fitness world, your rest day should probably be a real rest day in which case you do not do any activity at all. A more experienced person may choose an “active rest day”. This is where you won’t lift any weight or do anything intense such as HIIT, but you may do an activity like yoga or do some LISS cardio. Throughout this program you will see I have made Sunday your rest day. However, if something comes up and you need to rearrange your rest day, you can do so. What I always tell my clients is this training program is a guide. You need it to fit YOUR lifestyle.

RECOVERY + S T R E TC H I N G L E T ’ S TA L K S T R E TC H I N G HOW OFTEN SHOULD I STRETCH? MY ANSWER IS DAILY! I know when it comes to training, a lot of us tend to neglect or not bother stretching. I know because I am just as guilty as this as you are. However, this year I’m stopping with the excuses and I am making time to stretch DAILY! Think about waking up in the morning. More than likely, one of the first things you do without even thinking about is stretch. Stretching is instinctive, meaning that your body already is leading you to do it. While this type of morning stretching is a great way to get up and going, focusing on more targeted stretching during the day will have the greatest benefit on muscles and ts. Stretching regularly will strengthen your muscles and increase your flexibility. The more flexible you are, the better it is for your ts. Keeping muscles and ts in top condition helps with your day-to-day range of motion and can help guard against injury. Major muscle groups really benefit from stretching. Focus on shoulders and neck, calves and thighs, hips, and lower back. to stretch evenly on both sides. Lastly, to breathe. Exhale while going into the stretch; hold the stretch as you inhale. Stretching should not be painful. A mild discomfort means you are getting a good stretch. If you feel pain, you should ease up or stop and consult a doctor. Just like anything there are times when stretching could be a bad thing. For example, if you have an injury it could be made worse by certain types of stretching. If you push it too far, you could injure muscles, ligaments, or nerves just by stretching. Be aware and listen to your body.
