Abs/ Butt before pictures

ok cool sounds good thanks =)!...

u guys r being weird stop fighting = P
 
Kimmi you are bootylicious!

I think it shouldn't be too hard for you to reach your goal...if you do cardio to lose whatever extra fat you want to from your abs, just do weighted squats and lunges etc to get bigger glutes; the added muscle should more than compensate for whatever fat your lose from that area.
 
You can't spot reduce. Fat will come off wherever it comes off. Cardio isn't going to burn fat off your butt any differently than any other weight loss techniques. I have no idea where you got this idea but it is flat out wrong. If you want a big butt but smaller stomach, eat clean, lift weights focusing on hypertrophy of the muscles that will make your ass look bigger.



There's no red line drawn in the sand where once you past it you can't eat carbs anymore.


Good advice. Train the whole body but do hypertrophy specific to the area you want bigger. Diet is key, eating enough, the right foods in the right ratios, and often enough. Good luck.
 
First off, Kimi, you look great. I'd be too intimidated to hit on you...but I'd def be looking haha.

Second...on the whole carb thing...no one has really explained it very well (which surprises me). If you are trying to get rid of that last bit of stubborn fat from the midsection (or just trying to trim down in general since you CAN'T spot reduce), you will want to limit your carbs to just before and just after your resistance training workout. If you can get through your workout without pre-workout carbs and without being overly tired, then I wouldn't worry about them pre-workout. BUT, after your weight training, you need to feed your body carbs to help repair damaged muscle tissue.

And again, WOW

Tm and several others speak the truth. There are general eating guidelines, the best of which I think are Berardi's 7 Habits.


Have fun. ;)

Focus, you just made my afternoon with that one! LOL


By the way, Kimmi, I agree you look great already. With a good foundation like you have you should reach your goal in no time :). I also want a J-lo butt :p (or Beyonce, Scarlett Johansen, Jessica Biel)...I do squats, deadlifts, bridges and lunges like crazy LOL

There's another way you can speed up your results, do a more intense workout. Have you tried doing any HIIT?

I alternate between walking lunges and stationary lunges. Persoanlly I find the walking lunges harder.

I started doing 3 sets of 12 with low weight. I've worked my way up to 15 pound dumbbells-30 pounds total (which is heavy for me). The higher the weight the lower the reps for me. Sometimes I do 4 sets of 8 or I start with 8 then 10 then 12 then 10 then 8. I vary it a lot.

On my deadlifts I use 25 pound dumbbells which is REALLY heavy for me-I can only do sets of 8 if I want to mainain my form-sometimes I push it to 8, 10, 10, 8.

Squats are the hardest for me so I only use 8 pound dumbells (16 total) but I practically go a$$ to floor.

My bum def. looks firmer when I'm discliplined with my routine :) When I'm lazy I use machines and that's better than nothing. But I know that genetically I will never have a bum like Jlos...I'm much too petite in comparison...she looks great though.

Notes: Jog is at 65-75% of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
Sprint is at 90-95% of your MHR

Note for all routines: After doing the dynamic stretching, warm-up with a 3-4 minute light jog and also cool down with a 4-5 minute light jog as well. This should be done at approximately 50% of your MHR.
 
That sounds pretty basic...which is good. Personally, I like doing the eliptical machines...especially for HIIT. 2 minutes of a slower pace followed by 1 minute of fast paced for like 4 or 5 cycles (15 or 18 minutes if you do a 3 minute warmup)
 
I think you already look fine so, if you get better shape thats just a plus.

I saw u were a teacher, you are like the substitute teacher i always wanted haha.

Just so i dont seem weird im 16.:p Im not a 54 yr old who lurks forums for women. Now that i said that ppl are going to think im a 54 yr old who lurks forums. Unless ppl give me the benefit of the doubt and really think im 16 and not 54. lol i have to much time on my hands.
