I finally found a “before” picture of my glutes! (yes, I’m aware they are different suits) ;) The picture on the left was during one of my “lose-weight” kicks in college which consisted of a calorie restricted diet with very little protein and almost entirely cardio based exercise. While I lost weight, my trouble spots stayed :( The picture on the right was from last summer. At that point I had been eating a diet high in protein, doing minimal cardio and lifting weights for close to 2 years. It has taken me a long time to build a booty and I’m by no means finished… But I’m proud of the gains I’ve made. :) Lifting weights doesn’t make you “manly” or “bulky” like most girls believe (that’s a myth!)… They give you CURVES in all the right places! Don’t be afraid of those heavy dumbbells and barbells ladies! Women do not have the levels of testosterone necessary to build muscle like men without the use of steroids and a SERIOUS lifestyle commitment. Lift weights, trust me, you’ll be glad you did :)
