NO MORE BUTS STARTING TODAY

 

    At the very first place, I honestly don't know why I called this an "ABStory" because the biggest goal I ever wanted really is to develop my butt. So then perhaps, what I really mean is I want a butt-abs, geez! But going back, this will gonna be my restart of butt journey. Before, I am already doing exercises like this. However, when time gets in brinks and my body starts to hurt, I also stop.  But hey, enough with the excuses! I've decided to give it another shot and commit myself to this butt journey once and for all. I mean, who doesn't want a toned and firm derriere, right? So, armed with determination and a brand new workout plan, I kick-started my mission. I knew that building a great butt wouldn't happen overnight, so I had to be patient and persistent. No pain, no gain, they say.

    First things first, I did some research to find exercises that specifically target the glutes. Squats, lunges, and hip thrusts were some of the popular ones that kept popping up. I figured I'd start with these basic moves and gradually amp up the intensity. But, let me tell you, those squats were no joke. I thought they were just about lowering and raising your body, but boy, was I wrong. Maintaining the correct form and engaging the right muscles was crucial. It took some practice, but eventually, I got the hang of it. Lunges were another story. Walking like a penguin the next day was not exactly my idea of a good time, but hey, I reminded myself that it was a sign I was working those glutes. That made the discomfort somewhat bearable. Then came the hip thrusts. I had to lie down on the floor, place a weight across my hips, and lift them up while squeezing my glutes. Let me tell you, it felt awkward at first. I couldn't help but wonder if my neighbors were watching through the window. But soon enough, I got used to it, and it became just another part of my routine. 

    Of course, exercises alone wouldn't cut it. I had to pay attention to my diet too. I made sure to include enough protein in my meals to support muscle growth and repair. Chicken, fish, and eggs became my best buddies.I also avoided sleeping right after lunch! And let's not forget the importance of drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. As the days turned into weeks, I started to notice some changes. My butt began to feel firmer, and I could even see a little bit of definition. It was a small victory, but it motivates me to keep going. it's a 4 days victory!
