Thank you. I have realized, looking back a couple of years ago, that walking and even jogging does indeed SHRINK THE HELL out of my booty, thighs, and legs. Stair master for 30 Miniutes all the way! Booty be poppin! Legs are more toned and muscular. Even my calves are bigger.
Yep you are so right, I used to do long duration cardio and my ass literally was flatter! I lost muscle all over. I started doing HIIT and my butt and quads are back ~
The elliptical actually grew my booty and I researched which cardio machine was best for booty and that’s what it said. I put it on a really high level so there’s a lot of resistance and I can feel my glutes with every move. I’m surprised you don’t think it’s good.
I was getting too skinny on the elliptical and losing my curves. I had to stop. Mine is the Bowflex total workout machine. It’s a little different from the traditional elliptical but it’s almost the same workout.
Not everyone can sprint esp for people who have knee issues... Try walking on a threadmill at level 15 incline at speed 2.5 to 3 with a five pound ankle weights...
I think it's the slowing down/ stopping that's bad for the knees when sprinting. As long as you're not trying to stop too quickly it would be fine. I had knee issues from soccer but did sprints in track and our track coach would tell us to take as long as we need to slow down after we passed the finish line, even if it took 50 meters to do so.
@@shaynelahmed6323 I also have a bad back I'm 2 months post op from a disc fucion surgery. I go to the gym and walk 3.0 on the tredmill raise the incline a little and walk with 3lbs weights and that works for me. Sometimes I go down to 2.6. I've noticed change in my butt, it's starting to sit up more.
What if you have a natural booty but want to loose weight but enhance your butt muscles and define them at the same time? Idk if that makes sense... lol I know that cardio will tone you overall but I don't want to be super skinny and lose my curves
That’s kind of how i am with my thighs. I have thick this but i wanna gain muscle but in the process i don’t want them to b skinny. Since I’ve started lifting they’ve definitely gotten smaller but I’m not too concerned because I’m working them out using heavy weights and stuff so Ik that I’ll gain it back in muscle and not just natural thickness
Memie Tiah I have been working out for 3 years now and I can tel you springing and running will help you lose fat, tone ur abs and keep that butt. You would have to do isolation workouts to perk up and shape your butt and also add weights to build the muscle which also helps to lose weight and watch ur diet. Keep eating protein for fiber foods so veggies and fruits
I actually built up a good amount of muscle in my gluten doing indoor cycling classes like Soulcycle, which is a mix of sprints and hills. I was shocked after a few months to realize that I finally had a butt!
With the first comparison it's more about muscle fibre type. To be naturally good at sprinting you need a higher percentage as type II muscle fibres, to be good at endurance you need more type I, type II gets bigger, type I doesn't really, it's why some people struggle to gain visible muscle mass
In my personal opinion ALL cardio killed my booty gains. I had to cut it out completely to see progress. The only time you need to look at cardio is if you have excess fat you need to loose. Lifting heavy weights and adding supersets or giant sets in my weight lifting was all the cardio I needed tbh now I got a nice big round booty and a flat stomach! Also I see these skinny girls spending hours in the gym lifting weights to grow their bum then go and jump on the treadmill to do HIIT I want to grab them and throw them off the treadmill, I’ve been there done it all... your inadvertently killing your gains. I done everything that these little RUclips fit girls tell you to do and saw ZERO progress. I ended up watching male bodybuilder videos like Jeff calevier athlean x and started training like them and holy shit or worked so well!!! Get your nutrition down pack, work hard be smart and you will look great!
Hello Lucy, I kept my promise! I like your video style and agree that sprints are definitely better for building the glutes than jogging (all you have to do is compare the lower body of sprinters to those who run marathons).
Best is Treadmill on a very high incline (no holding which completely negates the incline). Yet, cardio will more tone than grow muscles. To grow the glutes do Deep Squats, Lunges, Hip/Glutes Bridges. Use proper form and your glutes will burn and grow.
If you want to get big glutes squat heavy. Cardio doesn't build muscle but it _can_ help you lose fat which will make your muscles look bigger, diet is more important
leg day IS cardio day, if you're doing it right. ;) have that as your cardio 'off' day. (I do supersets on leg day, and my heart is bursting out of my chest - it's def cardio) before or after is fine. you won't lose muscle mass if you're doing her suggested versions of cardio.
isabella revilla let's make it simple. If you like running than run. But make sure you do some weights just to keep your muscles nice and lifted. If you eat good whole foods there is no way you will ever loose muscle. I run Everyday for about 3 or 4 miles and lift 3 times a week with combinations of whole food (no meat at all) and I still have big but and small waist.
@@Ciaccona255 omg, i love running too, and im trying to gain the booty as well. Also im vegetarian! Lol i must ask, how much protein do you take to get the booty gains?
What if you need to lose a lot of weight all over? Would doing 60 mins of fast walking on the treadmill at a high incline be good for keeping your glutes?
As a woman who has lost 80 lbs twice. Your gonna lose some glutes when you have a large amount of weight to lose. It's fat coming off you will build muscle later on and get your glutes back expect it will be muscle
this was super helpful! ive been lifting for almost 6 months now, and i would always go straight to the treadmill after my lifts and i kept wondering why my booty wasnt growing, but i finally stopped and stick to stairmaster to burnout my buns hahah no more jogging for me 😂im trying to grow 😩
Is there a workout for gaining weight in your thighs while losing weight in your stomach and lifting your butt. Idk if that is a possible question to ask or possible to obtain
if u want to shrink ur thighs u have to make lots of reps no weight exercises. coz different muscle tissues are working when u do lots of reps exercise. read about red and white muscle tissue u will understand how ur body works
What about jumping rope? I have been practicing jumping rope for around 2 months now and my leg muscles are becoming well defined. The thing is that I can't see any growth in my glute area although I work on it 2 times a week ( for 4 months now ). SO I started to suspect that skipping rope might be the reason behind my stubborn behind😂
can you do a summary in the description please because ive usually forgotten what you said by the end 😁. love the vidoes btw just found your channel and very informative
THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO 😊😊😊😊💖💕😘 you provided a really good explanation and the images helped understand the difference TRUE STORY Girl a couple months ago I would always run but I started losing my booty I stopped Immediately 😂😂😂
There is no such thing as bad cardio. However, I am a believer to do cardio without using machines. That includes and not limited to walking, hiking, jogging, swimming, sports, etc. Also, do not believe the gym anti-cardio hype. In my opinion, a triathlete, martial artist, surfer, etc. looks so much more in shape than a gym rat for both the short and long run.
First beginning to watch today, i think your training, and examples to the specific buttock muscles is superb. Good research method. I have had an injury and these kind of work is good motivations for true! :)
Wow this is great content. I've never thought about how cardio is affecting building/atrophying my glutes before. Will definitely consider this when I run next time.
you are so pretty! thank you for the advice. I'm struggling a LOT getting a butt. most of my weight went to my mid section sadly when i was eating unhealthy, and i struggle with hip dips.
So she says joggers butts aren’t that big but 100 meter sprinters have big quads and butts .... let me explain why all the 100 meter sprinters are toned black athletes with genetically gifted physiques who can add muscle easily , the joggers tend not to all be black so you see a difference in there build
What if u run 1.5 miles on treadmill but also do lower body workouts 3 days a week? Im doing cardio with a friend to support him for his police training but don't wanna waste my gains workout
Thank you so much for this video, as I was looking for more information on this topic. Could you tell me how long I should sprint at the beginning? I understood the 1min sprint 1 min walking rule, but how often should I do it? How many sprints should I achieve? And what level of incline should I use on the treadmill? Thank you in advance :) Jenny
they should be as fast as you can. This is also why Lucy's recommendation of sprinting for 1 minute is bullshit. You automatically slow down after the first 15-20 seconds (if you go full speed), that's why I like to do sprints of 15 seconds and 30 seconds recovery (could be a slow jog or even walking) for 10 sets. For treadmill I choose 10km/h for recovery and 13-14 km/h for sprints. Not sure what's that in miles though.
Thank you so much for this video!! I've been working out wrong this whole time!! Haha makes so much sense now! Incline and sprinting is key :) I always did compare the bodys of the long distance runners and sprinters, but I never applied it to my own workout regimen. Thaaank yoou!! Mind blown
20 minutes walking on the treadmill inclined is it OK? Unfortunately I'm a Zumba instructor and I think that's avoiding me to keep growing my glutes...I'm desperate and don't know what to do 😢
I’m so confused on working out rules and tips cuz idk I’m heading too much all over the place. Like diet wise everyone says eat less calories like 1600 a day but then some say eat more to make gains but idk. I’m confused I’m like 155, 5’4 and idk. I’m slightly overweight and wanna lose weight in my legs but still tone it a bit too. I’m only hearing how to do one or the other. Like I like cardio but I’m afraid that it’ll just cancel out any weights I’m doing.
I am the same weight but I look like I lost a lot of fat and toned up my thighs and butt in under 2 months of going to the gym weight lifting only, no cardio. some clothes feel loose and some feel tight in the arms or butt. I can gain huge muscles in no time at all, I don't know if its because I am obese or genes? but I really can never shrink no matter how much cardio I try to do, I bloat and swell doing cardio other than in the water swimming. I wish I can do cardio out of the water and in the gym without my feet getting water retention in under 10 mins, why is this?
Hi I have a question I want to lean out my legs I've been doing jogging/sprinting which has helped but my inner and outer thighs are still big and flabby???
I want to lose 66-64 pounds but put on 10 of muscle when I go to the gym I do 30 minutes of cardio (using all machines for 7 minutes) usually high resistance. Then I lift but I never “feel the burn” in my glutes what can I do to change that?
When I sprint for a minute my heart rate is getting way to high that’s my problem. My fat zone is 120-140 bpm and when I sprint , do jumping squats or go as fast as I’d like on the elliptical my heart rate is going up to 180bpm out of fat zone and supposedly unhealthy.
What if you do long duration but at a high intensity so I get on the elliptical for an hour but I do it on like level 16 and I sweat a lot & I feel a lot of burning in my legs
I walk 20mins back and forth to the gym 4 days a week. Do you recommend me just sprinting there and back everyday? I'm trying to grow my booty but my car is bueno right now lol
Hi Lucy, thanks for the info! I really feel my gluteus after stair master, not much after sprints treadmill tho. Elliptical is also great for booty isn’t?
Yes they should be as fast as you can. This is also why Lucy's recommendation of sprinting for 1 minute is bullshit. You'll automatically slow down after the first 15-20 seconds (if you go full speed), that's why I like to do sprints of 15 seconds and 30 seconds recovery (could be a slow jog or even walking) for 10 sets.
Lisa Alexandra that’s how i am with my thighs. While working out I’m naturally losing the fat which makes my thighs thick but I’m lifting heavy so that i can gain it back in muscle
Impossible 😴 sorry sis, gotta cut & bulk. I lost 100 lbs, i lost it all, boobs, ass, thighs. Cardio & weight training will be your best friend, good luck!
no you will end up losing muscle. when you do cardio first you will be burning carbs and then when doing weights you will burn protein. if you lift first you will burn carbs, and then when doing cardio you will burn fat. cardio is ALWAYS after lifting.
Hi, I'm a new subscriber and already love your videos!! What if you walk on the treadmill incline 15 and speed 4.0-4.3 does that help you keep muscle on your lower body/butt?
Wlada Poljakova if you have correct form and technique, the rowing machine targets the lower body significantly more than the upper body. But, the rowing machine still does target some muscles in the upper body. It lightly works muscles like those in the back and upper arms.
Tynia Williams hitt cardio is super intense cardio which is normally no more than 15 or 20 mins. But jf its light cardio and you want to keep your muscle then you can do 30 but only a few times a week
you can do cardio with weight lifting, you just decrease rest time between sets. Cardio simply means getting your heart rate up. And HIIT and running or jogging is really bad for your pelvic floor
I like to do intervals of incline and resistance on the elyptical to the point where it's challenging but Im usually on there for 45 min. I've noticed a lot of muscle develop in the thighs, but I'm wondering if I'm somehow getting in the way of any of my goals? I'm trying to work out my glutes recently because they're pretty weak I don't think I've ever really worked them out a lot.

Less cardio is definitely not good for the heart in the long run especially for the amount of protein needed to be consumed every day to keep muscle
David B this really helps a lot i’m a teenager and I do feel weak through days and you’ve opened my eyes
Yep you are so right, I used to do long duration cardio and my ass literally was flatter! I lost muscle all over. I started doing HIIT and my butt and quads are back ~

Elliptical is my fav and i feel it work all my lower body all the time.
I think its more on her subjective opinion...than anything else
I was getting too skinny on the elliptical and losing my curves. I had to stop. Mine is the Bowflex total workout machine. It’s a little different from the traditional elliptical but it’s almost the same workout.
Same. I can use the elliptical at the highest resistance now!
30 min should be enough on high intensity
Not everyone can sprint esp for people who have knee issues...
Try walking on a threadmill at level 15 incline at speed 2.5 to 3 with a five pound ankle weights...
weng9364 I think the level of sprinting would be different for everyone even with bad knees
I think it's the slowing down/ stopping that's bad for the knees when sprinting. As long as you're not trying to stop too quickly it would be fine. I had knee issues from soccer but did sprints in track and our track coach would tell us to take as long as we need to slow down after we passed the finish line, even if it took 50 meters to do so.
Elliptical are great! Youre working your arms too
Wud that be great to reduce underbutt n generally pear shape? I have a bad back..can't sprint.. And dodgy knees...I can do level 15 at a slow speed..

Highest resistance on eliptical while staying up right fabulous for the glutes
yea i was wondering this. does high resistance eliptical really help the butt get bigger in size?
Thank you. Been looking for this

Did you do incline on treadmill?
Hello Lucy, I kept my promise! I like your video style and agree that sprints are definitely better for building the glutes than jogging (all you have to do is compare the lower body of sprinters to those who run marathons).
This color looks so good on you!

If you want to get big glutes squat heavy. Cardio doesn't build muscle but it _can_ help you lose fat which will make your muscles look bigger, diet is more important
squats? nah, forget it, what you need is hip thrust
Squats majorily focus on thighs. For glutes there are no.of workouts.
I went from running 5 miles in xc, to doing sprints. It's SUCH a difference.
What difference did you notice?
Just found your videos last night and they’re amazing and very helpful!! Please keep them up😍 they’re very informative and very motivating!!!
Bike riding helped me gain booty. After years of doing it, I didn't even realize it was growing until someone on FB commented on how big it was. lol
Tivon Sanders did you do it daily for around an hour..? Or?
Nice
No that's just genetics
I would like to know your thoughts on this Lucy, but instead of jogging, what about heavy cycling? i feel like my booty and quads are exploding after.
0326hkim Cycling definitely made me loss my butt. Sprints are better
"Jogging is super fun"
hahaha!!
hahahaha only when you start, the thought of doing it however
I did not understand (english is not my first language)... so jogging is bad and sprint is good for your glutes?
Nat - yes
Yeah
When are you supposed to do cardio, in terms of trying to keep muscle mass? Leg day, day before leg day, day after?
leg day IS cardio day, if you're doing it right. ;) have that as your cardio 'off' day. (I do supersets on leg day, and my heart is bursting out of my chest - it's def cardio) before or after is fine. you won't lose muscle mass if you're doing her suggested versions of cardio.

Lucy!!! I love the sprints and stair climber for cardio but walk on incline when feeling lazy lol good vid mi amiga
What if you need to lose a lot of weight all over? Would doing 60 mins of fast walking on the treadmill at a high incline be good for keeping your glutes?
Jasmine Linét personally I think that's a great form
Use a stair master too for at least 20min.
As a woman who has lost 80 lbs twice. Your gonna lose some glutes when you have a large amount of weight to lose. It's fat coming off you will build muscle later on and get your glutes back expect it will be muscle

Oh my you just spilled out 1000 words intro in 30 seconds.... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Would plyometrics (like box jumps, squat jumps, etc) in a hiit circuit contribute to glute growth?
Suhanna De Silva yes definitely. I do 30 sec super fast, 30 jump squats and have seen difference
Thank you so much for this! So helpful because I did notice I was losing gain messing with all the wrong types of cardio 😩😭😭😭😭

U are literally goals girl. Setting my alarm for early morning so I can go workout lol
Awh thank you!!!!
What if I want to grow my glutes but also want to shrink my thighs? I have thicker thighs but very little glutes
Go check out lizabeth lopez she has a great video on that
if u want to shrink ur thighs u have to make lots of reps no weight exercises. coz different muscle tissues are working when u do lots of reps exercise. read about red and white muscle tissue u will understand how ur body works
I have the opposite problem
repeat after me- LIFT WEIGHTS hunni
Haha! When you dog just stops walking that was funny. I am going to try these out I need to get my booty right booty tight lol.

Wow this is great content. I've never thought about how cardio is affecting building/atrophying my glutes before. Will definitely consider this when I run next time.
How long do you do the sprint-rest exercise? Like 10 minutes or 15 minutes?

I love the fitness style and totally agree with you! Thanks for making this video! Keep it up!
Omg I play softball and I totally know the feeling in my glutes and quads from launching off the bases and sprinting!
What about the stepmaster?? Wide steps with resistance bands??
Thats what I currently do for about 10-15 minutes.

Thank you, this answer all of my questions about being skinny in my lower part of the body, which I don't like.
As someone looking to grow his booty great tips! Subbed ha
same dude, same

spot on advice Lucy! Really good advice y'all!
What about cycling? I usually love taking the class 3 times a week. Mostly on leg day.
she said its the same with running, interval sprints with cycling are best
Thank you so much for this video!! I've been working out wrong this whole time!! Haha makes so much sense now! Incline and sprinting is key :) I always did compare the bodys of the long distance runners and sprinters, but I never applied it to my own workout regimen. Thaaank yoou!! Mind blown
Hello.. is it okay to use vertical climber for glute activation? Or it can cause shrinking in my glutes and hips
What if you want to grow your butt but not your thighs? I’ve heard that sprints can grow you thighs more than your butt?
Your videos are so professional,, love it.
20 minutes walking on the treadmill inclined is it OK? Unfortunately I'm a Zumba instructor and I think that's avoiding me to keep growing my glutes...I'm desperate and don't know what to do 😢

@LucyLFitness do You believe the sprinting, at the speeds necessary to 'activate the glutes' should cause dystrophy to genital tissue?
Do you recommend sprints before your workout or as a separate gym session?
OMG thanks a lot for this Infor this really really help me
Hi I have a question I want to lean out my legs I've been doing jogging/sprinting which has helped but my inner and outer thighs are still big and flabby???
You made me decide on doing some cardio sometime, haha! Keep it up, Lucy!
booty gains is what I'm here for lol
Awesome video Lucy and love your dog :)
I'm so glad I found you!!!!! I love your videos!!-
Dude I love you because my body is similar to yours...except I’m less toned lol but you’re my inspiration
I want to lose 66-64 pounds but put on 10 of muscle when I go to the gym I do 30 minutes of cardio (using all machines for 7 minutes) usually high resistance. Then I lift but I never “feel the burn” in my glutes what can I do to change that?
So if I go fast on the elliptical with high in intensity I won't lose my butt and I will gain muscle

What if you do long duration but at a high intensity so I get on the elliptical for an hour but I do it on like level 16 and I sweat a lot & I feel a lot of burning in my legs
I walk 20mins back and forth to the gym 4 days a week. Do you recommend me just sprinting there and back everyday? I'm trying to grow my booty but my car is bueno right now lol
Is HIIT twice a week or two sessions of 20-30 mins of more intense (not HIIT but not low state either) alright?
I should clarify...non sprinting HIIT. I dont like sprinting- do jump rope, elliptical, arc trainer, etc.
Is power walking bad? What if you are sweating the entire time?
Hi Lucy, thanks for the info! I really feel my gluteus after stair master, not much after sprints treadmill tho. Elliptical is also great for booty isn’t?
do 20sec sprint with 2minutes recovery
What speed is considered sprinting? I don't know if I'm going fast enough for sprints.... but I feel like I'm going faster than jogging
hipnhappenin I think sprints should be as fast as you can
Yes they should be as fast as you can. This is also why Lucy's recommendation of sprinting for 1 minute is bullshit. You'll automatically slow down after the first 15-20 seconds (if you go full speed), that's why I like to do sprints of 15 seconds and 30 seconds recovery (could be a slow jog or even walking) for 10 sets.
I have a big butt and I want to lose weight. Does anyone know how I can keep it while losing weight?
Lisa Alexandra that’s how i am with my thighs. While working out I’m naturally losing the fat which makes my thighs thick but I’m lifting heavy so that i can gain it back in muscle
Impossible 😴 sorry sis, gotta cut & bulk. I lost 100 lbs, i lost it all, boobs, ass, thighs. Cardio & weight training will be your best friend, good luck!
Lisa Alexandra strength training and less cardio
Lift heavy and some cardio. I'd recommend fasted hiit cardio about 2-3 a week but most importantly have a good diet.
What if you run ,then after do your butt work out ,is that effect as well ?
no you will end up losing muscle. when you do cardio first you will be burning carbs and then when doing weights you will burn protein. if you lift first you will burn carbs, and then when doing cardio you will burn fat. cardio is ALWAYS after lifting.
Hi, I'm a new subscriber and already love your videos!! What if you walk on the treadmill incline 15 and speed 4.0-4.3 does that help you keep muscle on your lower body/butt?
Is hiit workout good or bad for butt??
LucyLFitness I love you hair in this video. Do you have hilight or issit natural? How can I get color like yours? I wanna stop coloring my hair.
There is cardio for your upper body, what about the rowing machine?
Wlada Poljakova if you have correct form and technique, the rowing machine targets the lower body significantly more than the upper body. But, the rowing machine still does target some muscles in the upper body. It lightly works muscles like those in the back and upper arms.
Yeah also heavy bag boxing or shadow boxing with 10 lbs or min 5
Nicole here, new on your channel! Hi Lucy!!!
Thank you for sharing
Is hiit cardio okay?
Tynia Williams yes bc you're only doing it for a short amount of time
Loree S well i sometimes do 20 -30 minute cardio so idk if that's too much or if i should just cut down on the time
Tynia Williams hitt cardio is super intense cardio which is normally no more than 15 or 20 mins. But jf its light cardio and you want to keep your muscle then you can do 30 but only a few times a week
you can do cardio with weight lifting, you just decrease rest time between sets. Cardio simply means getting your heart rate up. And HIIT and running or jogging is really bad for your pelvic floor
Tynia Williams If you trying to lose weight it's ok but if not just do like 10-15 mintues.
I like to do intervals of incline and resistance on the elyptical to the point where it's challenging but Im usually on there for 45 min. I've noticed a lot of muscle develop in the thighs, but I'm wondering if I'm somehow getting in the way of any of my goals? I'm trying to work out my glutes recently because they're pretty weak I don't think I've ever really worked them out a lot.
I’m doing 30 minutes instead
What about arc trainer? Is it good for glutes?
What are your basis on these?
Glute town! thats what I'm talking about! great video!!!
How do you sprint heel toe? I’m a sprinter for track and I only run on my toes
Do long walks reduce glute muscle?
Is the a cardio were you can "grow your butt" and lose belly fat
Is an arc trainer with an incline bad for glutes ?
Thank you for posting
