Got Glutes?
So you want a bigger booty?
The main reason the booty won’t grow is because one just goes through the motions. The gluteus needs attention. There are certain actions that need to be intently applied.
Where to Start
You want change. Simple as that. The “hard” part is developing that change. I say “hard” because the difficulty of any task is relative to the individual. It would be only as hard as you make it, but reaching your goal will require work. You will need to put in the time, energy, and effort if you want to see change. But, where do you start?
In order to lose weight or fat you must be in a Calorie Deficit, meaning you are eating under your Maintenance Limit. In order to gain weight or add muscle you need to be in a Calorie Surplus, meaning you are eating over your Maintenance Limit. When you eat under your limit, you are burning more calories than you consume. When you eat over your limit you are consuming more calories than you burn. Remember that! People either have the goal of losing fat or gaining muscle and it takes calories to achieve either goal.
Eating to Your Limit

3 Simple Rules to Lose Body Fat:
Calories, Exercising and Micro-Nutrients
1. Calories (macro-nutrients): Your body has a certain limit of calories it needs to function properly. It you eat up to your limit you will maintain the way you currently look. If you eat above the limit (bulking), you will grow. If you eat below the limit (cutting), you will shrink. You grow through gaining muscle mass or body fat. You shrink through losing body fat or muscle mass. Now you know how to Maintain, Grow, or Shrink through calories.
