Strong is the new skinny. Isn’t it crazy how much beauty standards have changed over the years? In the 50’s and 60’s, fuller bodies with large breasts were ideal. But between the 60’s and the 90’s, thin was in. And now we are at big booties and strong bodies.

In my opinion, being healthy is the most important thing. Not too skinny and not too fat because both come with health problems. We shouldn’t hate our bodies (that will only set us up for failure on our ideal body journey), but we should love ourselves enough to put in the work to become healthy. And in turn, we will have that fit body we want.

And if you’re anything like me, you want the perfect bubble butt! I’ve had a pretty big booty since I hit puberty. But I was also in track so that probably helped build my booty without much conscious effort on my part. But over the years of not working it, it got smaller! Ugh… then when I started working to get it back I didn’t see any difference. I just continued to get smaller all over.

Building the perfect bubble butt is pretty confusing for real. You can do booty exercises all day, but if your diet isn’t right you won’t make any progress towards growing your butt. So here are some tips to help you build your booty through diet (the exercises are down below).

DIET TIPS FOR THE PERFECT BUBBLE BUTT

1. EAT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PROTEIN

You need to be eating about 1.8 grams of protein per day for every 2.2 pounds of body weight, but you also need to be putting in about an hour of exercising to go along with it.

2. QUANTITY OVER QUALITY

In terms of building your booty, the form of protein doesn’t matter much. So protein bars and powders aren’t much different than chicken and fish. BUT… chicken and fish have more health benefits. Just make sure to keep your calories low if you’re wanting to lose weight.

3. DON’T FORGET THE CARBS

Know the difference between good and bad carbs. Good = whole grains like oatmeal. Bad = White bread and junk food. You need between 15 and 40% of your daily calorie intake to come from good carbs if you want that perky booty.

4. FATS FOR A FAT BOOTY

Yep… you need some healthy fats in your diet. About 20 – 40% of your calories need to come from fats like avocados and fatty fish like salmon (hey, it’s full of protein too!), to name a couple.

10 MINUTE WORKOUT FOR THE PERFECT BUBBLE BUTT

You don’t have to use weights when you are just starting out, but you definitely need to add in some weights to build your booty. Just 3, 5, or 8 pound weights are fine. This is the weight set I recommend.

So this is how doing this workout will go. It’s just 10 minutes so you’ve got to push yourself. I recommend using a free interval timer app on your phone so you don’t have to keeping looking down to reset the timer. Here is the one I use on my iPhone. Just select “intervals”, then the + button, round timer, enter 10 rounds, and press start when you are ready. You can even enter 5-10 second breaks in between sets on the app.

We are going to be mixing dynamic exercises with isometric holds to So we are going to do each workout below for 50 seconds each and take a 10 second break in between. That’s it. Super simple. But you need to push since we are taking these little breaks!

I recommend doing this workout 2-3 times a week. Alright, let’s work on getting your perfect bubble butt!

*Tip: You can also do mini workouts throughout the day using these exercises. Or combine them with other 10 minute workouts to tone your whole body. 

1.  ALTERNATING LUNGES

Keep your gaze down and your neck relaxed. Hold this pose for 30 seconds. Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.

Repeat for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.
