Nothing says fit more than a great rear-view.
Define those curves!

A great butt is the benchmark of a great body. If someone has a tight, toned tush, you know she’s literally worked her butt off to get it. Jenny Lynn, the 2004 Arnold Classic International Figure Champion, is the perfect example. To get ready for a competition, she devotes two training sessions a week to her glutes and legs, plus sprints, bleacher runs and as many as two hours per day of cardio.
“It’s not only the aesthetics that matter,” says Jenny. “Strong glutes are imperative for overall balance, strength and explosive power.” Weak glutes, on the other hand, can limit your sports performance, and cause lower-back pain, poor posture – not to mention a sagging posterior.
To get your glutes in shape, Jenny recommends training them at least twice a week. “You should also try to clean up your diet as much as possible, and make friends with a steep set of bleachers,” she says. “If you can do 30 to 60 minutes of high-intensity cardio at least four days a week, you’ll start to see results very quickly,” she says. “Walking uphill, running uphill, and doing the stair climber are all great cardio exercises that also help work the glutes.”
