Exercise for Buttocks - Sprint Your Way to a Rock Hard Butt!

Many people would agree that the most impressive physical specimens in the world of athletics are sprinters. Compare the sleek, powerful, jungle cat look of a sprinter to that of an emaciated marathon runner and ask yourself who you'd rather look like...and who's got a better butt?

Sure some of it comes down to genetics, but mostly it comes down to their respective training methods. Marathon runners pound their bodies over countless miles on a daily basis. This may help with endurance but it has a catabolic (muscle wasting) effect. Long duration exercise also causes your body to store fat in preparation for famine so you end up with a "skinny fat" appearance.

Sprinters, on the other hand, train with brief, intense bursts of power. These short bursts release powerful growth hormones that build muscle and burn fat. The glutes (butt muscles) are the largest and most powerful muscles in the body and they're the prime movers in sprinting.

So let's apply this knowledge to your workouts and get the rock hard butt you're looking for.

Sprinting requires an all out effort so you can't do them for very long. They're ideally suited for interval training where you do brief, intense work for about 20 seconds, rest, then go all out again. Repeat this process 8 - 10 times and you get a great workout in only a few minutes. Just 2 or 3 sprint sessions per week is all you need.

To start you should have quality athletic shoes and loose, comfortable clothes. You also need a clear space to run that's free of debris. A high school track or open field is ideal. Just make sure you check the area for unseen rocks or holes beforehand.

You should warm up for a few minutes with some brisk walking and then a light jog of about 100 yards. Now your ready to begin:

1 - Take your place and start to run. Gradually increase the speed over the first few yards until your going at, or near 100% capacity for 20 seconds.

2 - Gradually slow down to a walk for 30 seconds but don't stop moving.

3 - Repeat steps 1 and 2 for 8 - 10 rounds.

When you finish you should cool down with a walk around the track or field until your breathing returns to normal.

At first you should ease into this type of training so you don't injure yourself. Your body will probably not be ready for this level of intensity so it's wise not to push to 100% right away. Gradually build up your tolerance over a few weeks and only go all out when you feel ready for it.

However, don't baby yourself either. Nothing worthwhile comes without effort and this routine will reward you with a sleeker, more powerful appearance and glutes like titanium!
