The Science Behind Building A Booty
The booty (gluteus) is actually made up of three different muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. These come together to form that round, big booty we all strive for. So, the best way to achieve the size and results that we want is by training in a way that targets each of the gluteus muscles. A great way to do this is with resistance training. Resistance bands offer a great way to increase tension through your workouts, effectively activating the gluteus muscles and increasing muscle size.
Also, if you have been working out for a while and you are not seeing results, using resistance bands before you start your workout routine will help wake up your glutes, this is called glute activation. A lot of people jump right into their leg day routine but it is important to activate the muscles in the booty for maximum benefits/growth.
Pushing yourself to do more reps and continuously adding more and more weight (progressive overload) to your leg day routine will 100% have you seeing results but only if your diet is also on point. If you want to grow muscle then this means you need to be eating in a caloric surplus which means no more salads for every single meal (yay!) We highly recommend downloading the app MyFitnessPal onto your phone to see how many calories you need to consume in order to build muscle!
