In my personal experience the key to really building up that butt is to lift heavy and eat plenty. Now don’t go crazy and eat a ton of pizza (I mean, occasionally of course but not every day) just add some more carbs and protein to your meals. With lifting heavy, focus on the primary lifts; squats, and deadlifts
Exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned and structured with the purpose of improving or maintaining physical fitness or health. In general, exercises are divided into activities that are predominantly aerobic (like running) or resistance (like weight lifting), although most sports and physical activities have components of both.
Physical activity is simply any bodily movement performed by the muscles that expend energy. This includes all the movement one does throughout the day, whether it is intentional, part of one’s job/occupation or simply for transporting one’s self from one place to another. All activity and steps count toward your health.
Fitness is the ability to perform activity at a moderate to vigorous level of intensity without tiring easily. Metabolic Equivalent of Tasks, or METs, a commonly used as the unit attributed to different activities to describe the intensity and the amount of energy spent in that activity. The more fit you are, the more physical activity you can do and then the more oxygen the body uses to meet the energy demands. METs can be measured during an exercise (treadmill or bicycle) stress test, and they are commonly performed at a doctor’s office to investigate cardiac or pulmonary disease. Fitness also depends on your age, sex, body size and genetic background. But it’s clear that regular physical activity improves your fitness level.
Yes, this will help you get the most out of your workout. Decide which muscle groups you want to work on, whether you’re doing a strength session or a HIIT workout and what equipment you’ll need. Then, think about how many reps and sets you’re going to perform. That way, you won’t waste time procrastinating and you’ll work harder as a result.
What type of training do I need to do to increase muscle mass?
If you want to build muscle, you’ll need to start weight training. Lifting heavy weights effectively rip the muscle fibers and as the body repairs, it replaces damaged muscle fibers to form new strands. As a result, this increases the thickness and size of the muscle.
Choose heavier weights for lower reps and take a longer rest between sets. It’s important to train the muscle groups you want to build a few times per week. And don’t forget to increase your calorie intake – you need to feed muscles if you want them to grow.

The rest required between workouts depends on both your conditioning and the nature of your workouts. If you are well conditioned to exercise you may be able to train each day or even twice per day – although almost certainly not the same form of exercise or targeted muscles groups.
This is a very common and understandable misconception. I think it has arisen through anecdotal evidence of big guys who have stopped training and quickly slipped from being muscular to fat. Boxers are a great example. The weight gain is typical because the men have become so used to eating large amounts of food when training that they continue the habit even when idle. Combine this with the reduction of calorie expenditure and you’re left with a huge calorie surplus every day.
While there are so many benefits to regular exercise, it’s just one part of the picture when it comes to your health.
As you get used to your new fitness routine, try to be more active in your daily life by taking the stairs or adding in more walking, such as during meetings, on your lunch break, with your kids, or on your commute.
Avoid this it is not healthy at all when you work out without eating the body will use muscle power as the fuel during the fitness session.
You may see your results between 5-10 weeks depending on your nutrition routine and also how frequently you work out and also how correctly do you do the exercise.
It is recommended to take your meals a few hours before going to sleep this creates room for digestion before going to sleep. This is because when you sleep few activities take place in the body
The answer to this is you should wait for at least 20 minutes and then take the water.
This depends on your body you can be bigger more than the rock depending on how your muscles grow, some people gain muscles easily while others gain fat easily.
This is not advised because too much cardio can eat away the muscle tissue, Cardio is good for your heart and your overall well-being.
Genetics also plays a role in whether or not your clients can obtain a flat stomach or a six-pack look to their abdominals. Two types of physical activity can help strength training and cardiovascular exercise.
The abdominals are just like any other muscle group: For their definition to become visible, they must grow larger and the fat that lies over them must decrease. What makes the definition of the abdominals so difficult to see is that they are situated in the area of the body that contains the largest amount of fats. Strength training the abdominals is only half the story. Your clients will get a flat stomach only if they combine strength training with cardiovascular exercise to get rid of the fat. Most clients do not do nearly enough cardiovascular exercise to decrease their body fat percentage to a point where they would see their abdominals. Even when the aerobic exercise stimulus is adequate, the role of the diet must not be underestimated. All people with a flat stomach or six-pack have a very low percentage of body fat.
Ignoring the effect of gravity in creating resistance during all movements, free weights keep the resistance on the muscle constant throughout the joint’s range of motion, while weight machines use variable resistance, with the resistance changing throughout the range of motion. Machines have geometrically shaped cams that change the torque required of the muscles by changing the lever arm of the resistance force (external weight) or the applied muscular force. Thus, machines place more stress on the muscles at the angles at which muscles can produce greater force. Since there are points in a joint’s range of motion where the muscle is stronger and points where it is weaker, and the amount of weight your clients can lift is limited by their weakest point, free weights serve only as a strong enough training stimulus for the weak joint positions. With machines, the load changes to provide optimal resistance throughout the entire range of motion.
On the other hand, movements using free weights occur in a three-dimensional plane, while most weight machines allow movement only in a single plane. With machines, the movement is guided, so only the major muscles required to perform the movement are used. With free weights, the added task of balancing the weights in the three-dimensional plane recruits other functional muscles that machines do not recruit.
Muscle pain results from high force production when an exercise is new or a load is greater than normal. Furthermore, eccentric muscle contractions in which the muscle lengthens, as when lowering a weight cause more soreness in the days following the workout than either isometric contractions (in which the muscle does not change length, as when holding a weight) or concentric contractions (in which the muscle shortens, as when lifting a weight)
In my opinion, I agree that 2-6 times per week is sufficient. Exercise for 40-180 minutes at 65-95% of age-specific maximal heart rate or 55-90% of VO2max (heart rate reserve).
Bodyweight goes hand to hand with body height the taller you are the higher bodyweight you should have.
Aerobic exercise is any activity that generally uses large muscle groups. Aerobic activity increases the heart, lungs, and cardiovascular system’s ability to deliver oxygen more quickly and efficiently to the body. As the heart muscle becomes stronger and more efficient, a larger amount of blood can be pumped with each stroke thereby decreasing the number of strokes required for oxygen transport. An aerobically fit person can produce more work for a longer period and recover faster. As compared to an aerobically unfit person
Starting by walking several KM per day and avoiding using vehicles to travel short distances will help you gain gas for your physical activities.
A fruit like banana and watermelon will be good for a start and also a glass of water and if there is a snack a carbohydrate one is recommended.
Not recommended since the blood tends to pool in your extremities after a vigorous workout, and steams, saunas, hot tubs, and even hot showers tend to dilate your blood vessels making it more difficult for the blood to reach the heart and brain. Wait until you completely cooled down.
The best time to do exercise is probably early in the morning or late in the evening depending on your free time.
A warm-up helps your body prepare itself for exercise and reduces the chance of injury. The warm-up should be a combination of rhythmic exercise to raise the heart rate, core body and muscle temperature, and static stretching through a full range of motion. The stretches in the warm-up should be non-ballistic and include all of the major muscle groups. A lower back stretch should be performed before doing any lateral movement of the upper torso such as side bends.
