Let’s talk glutes! So, for those who do not know, quarantine got me really into fitness. It is a great way to improve your mental health and distract yourself from your thoughts. I started going to the gym again after my breakup, but I stuck with working out even after all of them closed. Follow my fitness Instagram @ereamer.fitness
From February 3rd to March 18th, I used the “30 Day Butt & Leg Challenge” app to obviously grow the glutes (and I guess tone my legs, but c’mon what do you really think my goal was after a breakup). The app has three levels, which consists of workouts you do for 30 days, so each level should take a month to complete if you don’t skip any days. I took some days off as you can see since it took me a little over three months to finish all three levels.
As you progress through each level, the workouts become more advanced, and the duration of each increases. Level one was a breeze, it made me genuinely excited to use the app. By level three, I was done. Not in a lazy, “I can’t do this, this is too hard” way, but in an “I just want this to be over with, holy crap” kind of way.
The last level was so incredibly repetitive that I no longer looked forward to it anymore. It was all the same exercises and some of the workouts repeated twice in a row. The number of jumping jack squats and side lunges I had to do was RIDICULOUS. I honestly was so over it, but I am not a person who gives up.
Now, trust me I know that when you want to work a specific muscle group, the point is to keep at the same exercises because that’s more effective. But I am one of those people who like to spice it up and have fun, not just do the same things over and over again.
Overall, it did make me feel more confident in myself and I’m not going to lie and say that I don’t enjoy checking myself out in mirrors now. I do recommend it if you want to tone or improve your glutes in general, but just know that it will get boring after a while.
My favorite exercises were the glute bridges and all the variations of them. My least favorites were the jumping jack squats and the leg pull downs. Also, I have always hated lunges, so that can factor into why I hated the last level so much since there are A LOT of lunges.
Thanks for reading,
Elisa
