2nd Lower Body workout to get legs butt bigger.


Bigger, stronger leg and butt muscles are important for sports performance and appearance and can be achieved by working out with free weights and machines. Your legs are made up of a number of major muscles, including the quadriceps on the front of your thighs and your hamstrings on the rear of your thighs. Your butt, or gluteus maximus, is your main rear hip muscle. All of these leg muscles work together when you walk, run or climb stairs, and can also be exercised individually.


Dumbbell Reverse Lunge: Hold the dumbbells next to your sides, your palms facing in. Keeping your torso upright, step backward with your right foot and lower your body until your left (front) knee is bent 90 degrees. (Your right knee should nearly touch the floor.) Return to the starting position and repeat the move, this time stepping back with your left foot. Continue alternating legs.

Recommend Sets/Reps: 3 Sets of 6-8 reps with each leg







Leg extensions:
Recommend Sets/Reps: 3 Sets of 6-8 reps 














Leg curls: tone and firm the muscles in your hamstrings.
 Recommend Sets/Reps: 3 Sets of 6-8 reps 









Squats

Recommend Sets/Reps: 3 Sets of 6-8 reps 






 

Stiff-legged deadlifts

Recommend Sets/Reps: 3 Sets of 6-8 reps 

1st Lower Body Exercises for getting bigger butt and legs.

 One way to get your butt and legs bigger is simply to increase your body fat, which of course isn't a healthy option. The other way is to induce muscle growth, or hypertrophy, of the glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings with specific strength-training exercises. Performed regularly and combined with a protein-rich diet, these exercises can have you on your way to a stronger and bigger lower body. 



Forward Step Lunge:  the lunge can be performed with a barbell or two dumbbells to work your quadriceps and gluteal muscles.

Recommended sets/reps: 3 sets of 6-8 repetitions.


 
 
 

Leg Press: is a great way to workout your quads, hamstrings, and butt.

Recommended sets/reps: 3 sets of 6-8 repetitions

 


Back Squat: is a lower body exercise that targets your glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings.
Recommended sets/reps: 3 sets of 6-8 repetitions. 

Recommended using 70 percent to 85 percent of your one-repetition max weight for eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise.

Example: 3 sets
           weight          repetition
set 1:     40                    12
set 2:     50                    10
set 3:     60                      8

Exercise Tips: To achieve hypertrophy in your butt and legs, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends using 70 percent to 85 percent of your one-repetition max weight for eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise. Perform each exercise two to three nonconsecutive days per week, resting at least 24 hours between each workout to allow for complete muscle recovery and optimum training results. Each exercise should be performed using slow, controlled movements to prevent injury. When using heavy weights, always have a spotter.
