Do you have a nice bum?

[Melliferous]

My bum looks a bit like it's melting, or perhaps making an escape attempt by sliding down my legs.

What's the most effective way to get a nice toned bum? I walk loads every day but that's clearly not enough. Does the answer involve one million squats?

Yes that would be lovely. I don't understand why my body thinks storing all the fat on my stomach and nowhere else is such a good idea. It's like a camels hump or something

Yes I think mine is nice. Partly genetics but lots of lower body exercises help.

@sar302

I do, which is a blessing as most of me is shot to shit these days.

But it did mean when I was heavily pregnant, I looked like I'd swallowed a giant tic tac 🙄

This made me snort

I have what's called hip dips. If I exercise, I get a smaller version of the same shape!!

I’m afraid it’s mostly genetics! I have a 14 inch waist to hip difference and an arse you could bounce coins off and I do literally nothing to maintain it, sorry!

This thread is making me chuckle. Essentially activated glutes are key for keeping your back healthy too, or so I was advised by the chiropractor.

I must have the back of a teenage gymnast!

No. But I have banging tits so...

What do they bang on?

I keep reading this title as ‘Do you have an iced bun?’

I have a great bum (well did pre lockdowns!) and I’ve worked at it. Your answer is heavy weights. Obviously work your way up, but you should be doing the following exercises:

1. Kettlebell swings with 16-20kg kettle bell
2. Deadlifts with 16-20kg + bar or two 8-10 kg dumbbells
3. Hip thrusters with 10 kg in your lap (this is lying on the ground and humping the air). You can do variations of this so two legs, single leg, feet together legs spread.
4. Front squats and sumo squats are okay and good to include but not as good as the first three for a nice bum. I find squats hard on the knees and 1 & 2 above are actually the best for getting the round booty, as squats often workout the quads more especially if you aren’t doing them perfectly and getting low enough)
5. Lunches are also good but need a long stance to work the bum instead of the legs - hold at least 10kgs as you do, can be one kettlebell or two dumbbells of 5kg… you get the gist.

Guaranteed nice bum!!

My knees

*lunges oops. But lunches are also important for a nice bum as you need to eat to grow the muscle!

Beautiful arse here 😆
Genetics

@WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps

Mine is my best feature (imho). I don’t have big boobs though, I’d take some off my arse and put it on my chest if I could.

I'm the same 😂 There must be something to it ...

My arse is lovely; plump, big and round.

But a small chest that has never really grown.

Never ever thought I did..... but my now DP loves my ass!!!

Feels good. 🙂

My bum is good even though I am 57. I work at home and go up and down the stairs a lot each day.

I had an excellent booty! (But no boobs!)
All genetic unfortunately, but I've heard squats are excellent too

I do. My DP likes to wobble it often and tell me how much he loves it.

I have done exactly 3 squats in my lifetime so I can only assume it’s genetics.

In my twenties and thirties I had a bottom like a Boris Vallejo painting.
Now (50s) it is more like someone has put two motorbike helmets side by side and beaten them with a bat until they are flattish, wide and dimpled.

I have a wide wobbly bottom. But a lovely flat tummy and perky boobs. So I try not to let it bother me and just think well you can't have it all.

The preview to your message came up as

'In my twenties and thirties I had a bottom like a Boris …'

I thought you were going to say 'like Boris Johnson' but you overcame this with determination and hard work

I had to google Boris Vallejo. Fond of a scantily clad goddess is Boris V!

So true. I think once upon a time I was lucky to have all 3 - peachy bum, perky boobs and flat toned stomach. Post DC I still have the bum but I’d much rather have a flat stomach.

No. I'm only 26 and have never had a good arse. Not even at 18. I'm slim (8-10) but my arse has always looked like it's melting. Like a H shape which is thick on the hip and lower cheek but half empty in the middle.

Weirdly my sister has a great bum without trying. Looks like we got different butt genes.
