About this program I made this workout program as a guide for women wanting to build a round, toned, lifted booty, and strong legs. I haven’t always had a toned, perky butt. I have been up and down with my weight my entire life and have had everything from a pancake booty to a dimply cellulite booty with absolutely no tone. Then as I learnt more about nutrition and began using heavier weights my body and life began to transform and I couldn’t be happier. It’s not always easy, but it is SO worth it! This program involves strength training to build lean muscle mass and help burn fat. Workouts are scheduled 3 days a week for 8 weeks and are designed to bring about quick changes. By the end of the 8 weeks your booty will be rounder, more toned, and lifted. To see results using this program it is vital to combine these workouts with healthy eating. I have included my workout and eating tips that I believe will help bring about the best results, in the fastest time frame. Make sure you read all my tips before starting the program. Once you finish the program you can restart it from the beginning. You will notice I have included some exercises multiple times throughout the program. These are all my favourite exercises that I feel are most beneficial when targeting glutes.

Workout tips • LIFT HEAVY! You should lift heavy so that it is difficult to finish the last couple of reps but you should still have proper form. If you cannot finish with proper form then you need to go lighter until you are stronger. In order to build curves you need to lift heavy! • It’s all about mind muscle connection! It’s important to focus on activating your glutes during the entire range of motion to get the most benefit. • Don’t forget to keep your core strong. Keep your core tight during exercises to help protect your back and also get an extra burn. • Eat a small meal 30 minutes to an hour before your workout so that you have energy. If you exercise on an empty stomach you won’t have the energy to put in the maximum effort and get the most out of your workout. • Push through your heels in most exercises not your toes. This helps focus on your glutes more. • Remember, this program will only work as hard as you do. So give it your all!

Eating guidelines • Eat about 5-6 small meals a day. • Consume a meal high in protein within 30 minutes to an hour after your workout (this could be a protein shake or a meal, or both!) • Make sure you are consuming enough calories and protein to repair and build your muscles. If you exercise too much without properly refueling your body with enough protein, you won’t be able to build a bigger butt! • Drink A LOT of water!! 3 Litres a day • Eat good sources of protein with every meal fish, lean meat (turkey, chicken breast, kangaroo), tofu, eggs, nuts, protein powders • Eat lots of green vegetables - green beans, broccoli, spinach, asparagus • Eat carbs – rice, sweet potato, whole grains, and quinoa • Don’t eat any processed or fast food • Don’t drink any soft drinks • Try not to drink too much juice or eat too much fruit as fruits contain a lot of sugar • Use coconut oil or macadamia oil for cooking • Try not to eat as many carbs at night or when you are least active • Read labels of everything you eat! Store bought items often have hidden sugar/chemicals

Cardio

Note: If you main goal is only to build muscle and a bigger butt, I would recommend very little cardio.

HIIT

If you are trying to lose fat while shaping your booty I recommend completing 1-2 sessions of HIIT (high intensity interval training) a week. Interval training involves an active period and a rest period. I like to do HIIT training for 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off for about 10-15 minutes. This means you will the exercise at a high intensity for 30 seconds and then rest for 30 seconds before starting again. Examples of HIIT that you could do are sprints on the treadmill or outside. You can do sprints on an incline to engage the glutes more. Another option is the bicycle or rowing machine. Low intensity cardio A brisk 45 minute walk 3-4 times a week is a great way to burn fat while preserving muscle.

Secrets to Staying Motivated • Set goals that you wish to achieve. Start of with simple goals then as you complete them start setting bigger goals. It helps a lot to have something specific you’re working towards • Make it a daily routine. Try to workout at the same time everyday when possible. This makes it easier as it becomes a habit in your daily life. • Don’t make excuses! Most people live very busy lives but you have to make your health a priority. If that means having to get up extra early to go to the gym then do it. • On days you really don’t feel like working out, don’t think about it and just go and do it! The longer you think about it the more likely it is that you won’t do it. Just get started and you will be happy you did it. • Remind yourself that to see results you need to be consistent. • Lastly, take photos! It’s easier to stay on track once you start seeing changes. So take progress photos every couple of weeks. (And remember to hashtag #tammyhembrowfit so I can see your progress!)

How to use this guide There are 8 weeks in this program. Each week consists of 3 workouts, which are to be done with at least 1 day of rest between each workout. I suggest you use the days in between to work other parts of the body. Each day consists of roughly 6 exercises with the number of sets and reps written after each exercise (eg. Barbell Squat 3x12 is 3 sets of 12 repetitions). I recommend 45-60 seconds of rest between each set. I have not included specific weights, as you will use a different amount of weight to anyone else depending on your strength. I recommend using HEAVY weights with proper form. Never compromise form as this can result in injury. IMPORTANT: If your main goal is to build a BIGGER butt that is round, toned, and lifted you need to consume extra calories everyday so that you create a caloric surplus. However, if your main goal is to LOSE WEIGHT while still creating a round, toned butt you need to consume less calories in a day so that you create a caloric deficit.

There are many macro calculators online that will tell you how much protein, fat, and carbs you will need to consume for your specific goals.
