80 Day Obsession: Best Core and Glute Exercises
Are you looking for a workout that has the absolute BEST core and glute exercises? These are my two areas of focus too! Getting a firm rounded butt AND toned abdominal muscles requires a COMPLETE approach that includes both targeted exercises AND proper nutrition. This is EXACTLY what the 80 Day Obsession program offers—and I am LOVING it!
But first…some general info and tips on strengthening your core and getting tight glutes…
Tips to Get a Tight Bum
Who doesn’t want round and tight glutes??? I think we can all agree that these are #GOALS.
You can do tons of cardio, but the getting a tight bum requires weight training. There isn’t one magic exercise that will change your butt change—it’s all about targeting, combining AND eating right.
Here are a few key points:
- You have to do more than just squats—you MUST mix up your routine.
- Two types of training help you get a tight bum—focused body and/or weighted exercises (including lifts, squats and lunges) and resistance work (using bands, slides, etc.).
- Consistency in the gym AND in the kitchen are KEY. You’ve got to be faithfully following a nutrient-packed whole food nutrition eating plan with adequate amounts of protein.
Here are some tips to help you effectively exercise those glutes:
- Double up on your leg day exercises
- Train one leg at a time
- Squat wider and go deeper
- Walk those lunges and add weights
Tips on Toning Your Core
As I mentioned above, you have to both exercise and eat right in order to tone your core. Here are some key facts to remember:
- You can’t reduce fat in a certain area (like your tummy) with isolation exercises. Your goal is to lower the fat percentage of your whole body through a combination of exercise and nutrition.
- Core muscles need resistance just like any other muscles in order to grow.
- To develop any specific muscle group, you need to train it often—but, NOT every day. It’s important to switch muscle groups so they can recover.
Now for some tips to help you effective exercise your core:
- Drink A LOT of water
- Follow a high protein/low carb eating plan
- Always eat breakfast
- Modify your ab routine
