Attention Busy Moms:  How To Lose 2-3 Inches of Butt Fat and Get A Strong, Toned and Sexy Butt

Not happy with the size and shape of your butt?  Maybe it's a little too big, or it's too flat up top and saggy on the bottom? Here's how to quickly lose inches off your butt and trim, tone and tighten your hips.

I haven’t come across too many ladies who are totally pleased with their butt.

Actually I can’t remember meeting one woman who was totally satisfied with the size of her butt.

Some have wanted a bigger, rounder butt, but most women I meet want their butt to be smaller, yet round…or “A butt that stops traffic” as one woman put it.

So what does it take to lose butt fat?  Is it all about some “sculpting” exercise you learned about in some women’s magazine?  Or maybe you need to use the latest gadget found on late night infomercials or some magic lotion that you slather on your booty helps you lose butt fat.

All of those things are wrong, and you should never, ever buy those gizmos off the late night infomercials.  Not when you can get better exercises done without spending any extra cash.

The first thing you need to fix is your nutrition.  Are you eating for a better butt?  A butt worthy of a bikini, or tight jeans?  Are you eating to lose butt fat or gain it?

That doesn’t mean you have to go on some crazy diet.  Quite the contrary. You need to eat enough to maintain your muscle, because muscle is what gives you a nice toned butt.

You need to make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegetables throughout the day and that could be through eating whole, raw fruits and vegetables, or by preparing your own smoothies made with real fruits and veggies, instead of juices.

You also need to make sure you’re getting enough protein and fat.  Yes I said fat.  You need to consume fat if you really want to lose inches off your butt.  However the fat should come from healthy nuts like almonds, or cold water fish like salmon and albacore tuna.  Eating those will also ensure you get your protein and fiber.

But what exercises should you do to lose butt fat?

Forget about those “sculpting” moves found in the latest women’s magazine from the checkout line at the grocery store.

You need to do exercises that use a lot of muscle and thus burn a lot more fat calories.

You need to do exercises like squats and lunges.  You need to do them with your own bodyweight and you also need to add some resistance in the form of dumbbells.  I'm sorry, but water bottles or soup cans won't cut it if you really want to sculpt a nice booty and lose butt fat.

You should also do your exercises in the form of supersets or circuits.

Try this quick legs and butt circuit workout the next time you’re at the gym or working out from home.

1A)  Dumbbell Reverse Lunge – 8 reps per leg

1B)  Bodyweight Squat – 15 reps

1C) Hip Extension – 15 reps

Perform those 3 exercises as a circuit moving from one to the next with little to no rest and repeat the circuit 3-4 times.

That circuit, if done properly, will work the butt muscles hard.  Add that circuit to the beginning of your workout, when you’re still fresh and do it 2-3 times per week for 4 weeks and you will have a smaller, firmer, rounder butt by the end of that month.
