GLUTES [Ladies]

Shape & lift up your glutes

Nicole Houston, TX

Maximize…Minimize...Shape…Lift…No need to fake it, when you can naturally create the perfect rear asset. Throw away the pads, stop the injections, and refrain from any and all implants. Let us take you through a few simple exercises that will teach you how to engage the three gluteus muscles located in the buttocks: the maximus, medius, and minimus. These simple exercises can make a flat butt round, increase the size nicely while making your legs smaller, lift and tighten up the round, or give the backside a better, overall view…Oops…we mean tone. Your esteem will not be the only thing receiving a boost.
