You find many things you don't want to find when you search for "gluteus maximus." Trust me. *
A funny thing happened while I was off my feet for eight weeks: I completely and totally lost my butt. It turns out that sitting on your butt doesn’t do a thing for it.
Needless to say, I’ve been trying to work on that. I found this Self.com blog post which features three very good moves. The only problem is that I can’t do two of them.
The first, jumping, has been impossible based on my approved-exercise list. The second is doable. I’ve modified the third, the Tabata Intervals, using the elliptical, but as someone who did more than my share of hill sprints last summer, it just doesn’t have the same level of intensity when you take away the impact.
Do you have toning exercises that work well? Share them in the comments.
