With the arrival of summer, we are inevitably inclined to show our bodies more in public, and for some people the painful phase of the so-called “swimsuit test” begins.
When we think of bikinis and shorts, however, the first thing that comes to mind is immediately the famous booty: so how can you get high, firm glutes in time for the beach?
Let’s find out together.
Booty or b-side: how to enhance it with clothing
Let’s take a step back from the swimsuit test: is there first of all a way to enhance the booty through clothing?
Does what we wear affect the shape, line, and appearance of our buttocks?
Well, yes!
To best highlight your glutes, clothing can make all the difference.
If you want to highlight and enhance your booty even more, you can wear pants (jeans or leggings) that are more fitted, skinny or flared, or choose high-waisted, wide-leg trousers.
Pencil skirts and sheath dresses also enhance the glutes, especially when worn with high heels.
Some details, such as seams and back pockets, can be strategically placed to draw attention to the glutes.
Finally, choosing solid and compact fabrics can also help create a firmer, “push-up” effect, of course.
How to lift your glutes
Let’s get to the point: to have higher and firmer glutes, physical exercise is essential.
Let’s start from the assumption that the glute is always made up partly of muscle and partly of adipose tissue.
The relative amount of muscle and fat in the glutes varies greatly from person to person, depending on factors such as genetics, level of physical activity, diet, and overall body composition.
Muscle tissue is made up of the gluteus maximus, which is the main glute muscle, plus the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
Training these muscles obviously helps increase their mass and tone: the more we develop the muscles, the more toned and defined our glutes become.
The glutes are also one of the areas of the body where fat tends to accumulate more easily (especially in women), and the amount of fat present in the glutes can therefore influence their size and shape, not necessarily in a negative way!
As we know, body fat distribution is influenced by genetic and hormonal factors, so it can vary greatly from person to person.
If you want to reduce fat in the glutes and improve their tone, it is therefore important both to follow a diet and to do targeted physical exercises, to tone the muscles and burn excess fat, helping to improve the appearance of the booty.
Which exercises should you do to firm up your glutes?
You don’t need to go to the gym to firm up your glutes: most exercises can also be done in your living room, with or without weights.
Here are some simple exercises to firm up your glutes:
- Squats
- Reverse lunges
- Glute bridge
- Hip thrust (leaning on a bench)
- Lateral leg raises (standing, on all fours, or lying down)
- Rear leg raises (standing, on all fours, or lying down)
Which exercises should you do to increase glute size?
If your goal is to increase glute volume, it’s important to focus on exercises that stimulate muscle growth, as well as on nutrition, without eliminating fat, but by toning.
“Deep” squats and hip thrusts are probably the most effective exercises to increase glute size among those already mentioned.
Posture also plays a role: the perfect butt is a reflection of how you walk and your body’s postural habits, so keeping your back straight and shoulders back is definitely a good habit to enhance your booty as well.
Firm glutes and nutrition
A balanced diet is essential to achieve firm and toned glutes.
To have higher and firmer glutes, it is necessary to:
- eat more carbohydrates, combined with consistent physical activity (rice, pasta, beans, and bread),
- eat enough protein to promote muscle growth,
- reduce sugars.
How long does it take to get firm glutes?
The time needed to achieve firm glutes depends on various factors, including consistency in training, genetics, and overall lifestyle.
With a consistent workout routine and a balanced diet, it is possible to notice significant improvements within just a few weeks.
If you also add cosmetics and some targeted aesthetic treatments to exercise and nutrition, the time needed to see results is cut in half!
