If you are naturally blessed with a big booty, your focus should be on shape and definition. Include more body-weight training that focuses on [sculpting] the smaller muscles of the hips and pelvis to tighten and lift around the major muscles. Bridges and stability work are great.
Sitting all day while working and driving turns off the muscles of your butt and it can over-stretch your glutes. When you start any full-body workout, make sure to include a glute exercise first (directly after your dynamic warm-up) to turn the glutes back on and get them awake and ready to engage for your entire workout.
Our 15-minute booty-blasting routine combines strength training and cardio, engages small and large muscle groups, and burns fat while toning and shaping. Get ready to lift, tighten, and build.
