A Change In Scenery III: Exercise cont. and Off Question


CharlotteVictoria

Recommended Posts

Hello, it's me again. I was just doing my workout routine last night when two questions had found it's way into my head, and i'd like to share them with you and get your thoughts on it as well. If that's not too much to ask. 

I. In addition to my road of getting a big butt, you may recall that i wanted a tiny waist and slim tummy. So i got to wondering, does anyone know of any good exercises that i should throw into my normal routine to help achieve this?

The off question is this:

II. As i am trying to achieve a big booty, i am aware that i will have to change out the jeans/shorts/leggings i already own (either my butt is bursting out of them or i can't get them past my thighs/butt), and purchase new ones.So my question becomes: Are there any places i can get pairs that really accentuate my butt/thighs but at an affordable price? it's well known that the average person doesn't exactly have $60-$100 just waiting to be spent. Bills, Food, Gas, etc. are a necessity you see.


I appreciate any comments, questions, and/or concerns you may post. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) some responses ^_^!!



Charlotte out ❤️

I don't know about getting a bigger back side, but to get a trim midriff watch your diet and exercise, setups, crunchers, etc.  They will tighten things up.

 

As to clothing, you might try googling what you want and see what comes up.

Planks of the various iterations are great for core and tend to be better for the low back than sit-ups or crunches. Superman or Supergirl ? holds are good too. Diet is by far the most important for the definition. This will be tough to do if you’re also trying to build out your behind, as you’ll probably want a little fat back there to soften it. You can’t target specific areas for fat loss or distribution, just muscle growth.  Good luck, mind your form and enjoy the post exercise highs.

For a bigger butt try doing things like squats, lunges, bridges... or variations of those like burpees.

Alternatively, try riding a bike up big hills.  Its another way to work those glutes.

please forgive the near month late reply, things have been hectic Dx!

I've recently begun trying to add crunches at the end of my routine (2 sets of 30 twist crunches and normal crunches) and my lord my stomach gets so sore afterwards Dx! You're probably right about the google thing :o

In addition what i stated above about crunches, i've added planking too! I can currently hold a plank for 40 seconds (with struggle of course XD)! Is there a target time i should be holding it to get results or should i just keep adding them in tandem with crunches? When it comes to diet..i have a hard time even trying to make one, what with the little money i have and my lack of eating in general (i seriously hardly eat. I'm not underweight or anything by any means. I just dont' eat as often as i know i should). Ah, yes..the ever so difficult task of adding some fat to said booty, i'll have to probably do some research about where fat is normally stored for someone like me. Either that or get to a physician asap before trying to gain some fat on my booty xD!

I appreciate the hug, so i shall give one in return *bigger hug*

Oh trust me, i do squats. I even try to do them on my off workout days (which is hard considering my work schedule. I don't want to burn all of my energy or be ridiculously sore before work. Which is also hard trying to do so after work because i'm ridiculously sore anyway DX)! Lunges i still have a hard time trying to do, but i hear they help immensely!! As for bridges, i'll have to look that up, as i'm sure i do a variation of it. when it comes to burpees..i've not heard of those, so i'll need to look that up as well! Biking up hills huh...? Guess i should invest in a bike asap XD!

I thought I was doing myself a favor by holding a plank for up to 90 seconds.  My physical therapist, who's been terrific helping getting me back to full strength, informed me that more reps of shorter durations are more beneficial, so I've been doing 4 plank repetitions, each 30 seconds, as part of my routine.

Biking up hills

If you have access to a treadmill, many of them allow you to tilt them upward so that you're working uphill.  Or, of course, an exercise bike can be adjusted on the go so that you're pedaling with more force, simulating going uphill.

I do bridges regularly each workout, 20 per set.  Enter "bridges exercise" in Google Images for plenty of visual examples.  Here's the instructions I follow for those:  
Begin by lying with knees bent and both feet placed on the floor with arms at your sides.  Raise your hips off the surface by squeezing your gluteal muscles.  Bring the hips up to where they are in line between the knees and shoulders.  Repeat as directed. 

 

For "extra credit," I now do my bridges sets while wearing a resistance band (again, entering "bridges exercise with resistance band" in Google Images will show examples of that).

 

Sounds like you're dedicated to your exercise!  Congratulations, and best wishes!

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      In the warmer weather, Mine is hitting the road on the bike. Just me, the bike, and the road. Other is it music or working on one of my many projects.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
