Cardio Versus Weight Lifting

The above picture (L) is from during my second wave of booty building. My workout was 'cardio elliptical' and orienting myself to the machines at the gym.....I really wanted to grow a booty.

I don't know about you, butt what I've learned is: cardio is awesome at shedding pounds, though if you're looking to build a booty there will come a point where 'lifting' will outweigh how much time you spend on the elliptical.

At the beginning of my second wave of booty building, I was 168-170lbs. I wanted to drop weight and cardio helped me to do just that.

Though as I worked my butt on the machines in tandem with cardio, my results were minimal to say the least.

Yes, I leaned out, but, so did my Butt! It was difficult to build booty gains. I would always begin my workouts with 20-30 mins on a cardio machine at the gym.  

I stopped hopping on the cardio machines as a way to warm up and took to jump squats variations instead! With my new warm-up routine, I then focused solely on lifting weights.

You will certainly get your heart pumping and YES, you can even sweat like a beast when lifting. It's a great way to target your focused body parts and build muscle.

So if you feel like you are doing a bunch of cardio and not seeing results in your bottom half, consider changing up your workout.

You are the nutty professor of your body! You know the results you seek. Now it's time to experiment and see how your body responds to changes in your workout regime. As your body changes, you may find yourself requiring to tweak your workout flow. There are things that always work for you and things you may grow out of, or shift away from as your body changes, and that's ok!

Once you change your workout, it can take up to three weeks until you start seeing a shift in your body, and what you eat has a lot to do with it too. More on that later....

All in all, Be kind to you. It's a journey with roots in Self-love. So keep loving on yourself and build that booty!!♡ Check out and follow my Instagram page!!! @bootysculptress :
