Shake, Shake, Shake: Your Booty, That Is!
Originating from the Latin word meaning largest, gluteus maximus refers to that part of the thigh muscle which is the largest portion of the buttocks. There are three glutes which make up your butt muscle; the maximus; medius; and minimus. Unfortunately, the medius and minimus (don't you just love these words!) are hardly every noticeable. There is no need to tell you again what the larger muscle is, right? These three muscles allow you to move.
Since the booty is more than one muscle, it stands to reason why there would be a wide variety of exercises to shape and strengthen it. Now that you know what the booty is; the make-up of it; it's time to exercise it.
Joining a gym would be ideal. They have equipment specifically designed for this area of your body. The importance of understanding how to exercise these muscles can only be explained by a professional. Once he or she takes into account your body type, overall health, and the level at which you can exercise, you will be able to properly participate in this regimen. Remember too, a proper diet along with exercise can yield far better results than just the latter alone.
Here are some typical exercises used to strengthen and tone your booty. Squats; plie squats; lunges; hamstring curls; leg extensions; walking up stairs; using a treadmill; and walking up a hill or steep incline. Yes, this reads like a novel from hell, but rest assured it does work. Remember the Richard Simmons tapes? They were and still are all the rage. Dare I say, however, most of us probably pop in the DVD just to hear the fabulous music? Let's face it; the music really does make you want to move, right? Since you have the DVD in the player, why not exercise as well?
Lunge forward to the coffee table and dust it; don't take the elevator, walk up to your apartment door. Squat and pick up the crumbs from the kitchen floor. Get the picture?
Whether you play music to lower your blood pressure; bring back a long forgotten memory, or exercise; it does account for definite changes within your body. So the next time you go to the gym, or go for a walk; bring your portable CD player with you and let the music move you!
Shake your booty; relieve the stress; and enjoy the high. Empower yourself; you'll never know what you can accomplish until you try.
