Gym Based

Booty Program
V.2

Purchased by Cristal Santos -- cristal_marisela@yahoo.com | for their use only


Introduction
This program was designed for all the ladies wanting to build bigger, toned,
perky glutes. This gym-based program includes 6 glute workouts to be
completed in 4 week cycles. It involves training your glutes 3 times a week and
includes some of my favourite exercises, as well as my top tips to make sure
you see progress. Once you have finished the full 8 weeks, the program can
be repeated/adjusted until you reach your desired goals. Remember to tag
#tammyhembrowfit in any photos you post so I can see your progress!

Things you NEED to know to get the most out of


this program:
01. Mind muscle connection.
I CANNOT stress enough how important this is. In my opinion, this is one of the
most important factors when it comes to seeing results and growth with any
exercise program.
So what is mind muscle connection? Mind-muscle connection is all about
learning to control your muscles, while effectively contracting or relaxing
certain muscles during an exercise. It is vital that during each exercise that you
really focus on contracting the particular muscle you are trying to grow, while
allowing other muscles to take a ‘back seat’.
For example, imagine you are doing a squat and want to focus on your glutes
but instead you feel the exercise mainly in your quads. This is a common issue
and most likely means you need to focus more on really squeezing your glutes
and allowing them to do more of the work.
I recommend practising mind-muscle connection by using a lighter weight (or
no weight at all). The more you practice mind-muscle connection, the easier it
will become and the more you will be able to grow and see progress.

02. Progressing with weights


To build muscle you need to really challenge yourself and build strength. It’s
important to use a weight that makes it difficult to finish the last few reps.
For example, if it says to complete 8-10 reps of an exercise, you should only
be able to complete 8, 9, or maybe 10 reps. If you can do 10 or more without
much difficulty, it may be time to increase the weight to make it more difficult.
As the weeks go on you should slowly get stronger and stronger and be able
to continue increasing weight by 5-10kg at a time.

03. Proper form


To prevent injury it is important to have proper form and use slow and
controlled movements. Make sure you get the most out of each repetition and
don’t rush through the exercise or take any shortcuts.

04. Eating to grow
If your main goal is to build muscle, you need to eat to grow. Diet is a huge part
of seeing results so you need to eat clean whole foods, while eating enough
protein, carbohydrates, and fats to gain muscle. In order to gain muscle, you
need to have a caloric surplus which means eating more calories than you
burn.

05. Eating to get leaner


If your main goal is to lose fat, you need to have a caloric deficit which means
burning more calories than you consume. Although you still want to consume
enough protein, carbs, and fats to be able to preserve muscle.

06. Macro calculator


It can be helpful to calculate your required macronutrients (carbs, fats,
proteins). There are plenty of macro-calculators online that you can use and
they will help you calculate your specific macros based on your height, weight,
level of activity etc. These calculators are not 100% accurate so it may take
some time to try out different amounts of macros and see what works for you.
Tracking your macros is not something you absolutely NEED to do, but it can
definitely help especially if you aren’t seeing results.

Eating tips
• Eat 4-6 meals a day
• Drink A LOT of water!! At least 3 litres a day
• Eat good sources of protein such as fish, lean meat (turkey, chicken breast,
kangaroo, lean beef), tofu, eggs
• Eat vegetables such as green beans, broccoli, spinach, kale
• Eat complex carbs such as brown rice, sweet potato, whole grains, and
quinoa
• DO NOT eat any processed or fast food
• DO NOT drink any soft drinks
• Try not to drink too much juice or eat too much fruit as fruits contain a lot of
sugar. A couple of servings a day is fine
• Feel free to have a cheat meal every 1-2 weeks if you think it will help you
stay on track, it wont do any harm and may actually benefit you and amp up
your metabolism
• Get into a good sleeping routine by making sure you’re getting enough sleep,
going to sleep at the same time every night, and getting up early
• Use coconut oil or macadamia oil for cooking
• Try not to eat as many carbs at night or when you are least active. Consume
the majority of your carbs before and after you train
• Drink a protein shake straight after your workout and/or eat a high protein
meal

Booty building cardio recommendations:
I recommend doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) 2-3 times a week if
your goal is also to lose fat. However if your goal is mainly to gain weight/
muscle, you may prefer to do less.
For example:
Interval sprints on high incline. Sprint for 30 seconds on and 30 seconds rest
for 8-10 minutes.
