I have to admit, that while I did (and still do) plenty of complaining about my post baby abdominal situation, my backside is one of my body parts that I love! When I was working with a physical therapist for my post partum diastis recti (separation of the rectus abdominin muscle), she often talked about the importance of having strong glutes and hamstrings. She informed me that strengthening those muscles would help with posture and alleviate lower back/hip/knee pain, all issues that I struggled with due to the diastis recti I experienced post partum.
Now that I am three years out from having a baby, I no longer have the huge gap in my abdominis recti, but I still find myself struggling to adhere to any sort of core and strength training, even though I know that it is so critical to my running and overall health. I’m not one for plans, to be honest, I struggled through my physical therapy for the diastis recti, I can barely stick to a running training plan but Tamara Grand’s Ultimate Booty Workout offers a manageable plan that requires 2-3 days per week for about 30 minutes a session.
To get you started, this book offers tips for beginning any exercise routine, information on the movements that you will be performing, and discussions regarding the importance of strength training for women. After the introduction, you will move into the Ultimate Booty Workouts 12-week progressive program consisting of three 4-week phases.
Phase 1: Setting the Foundation
Phase 2: Building Muscle
Phase 3: Leaning and Cutting
And, aside from the 12-week program, you also receive basic information on warming up, stretching, an intro to foam rolling (my favorite!) and workout templates for each phase of the program. Plus, there are suggestions on how to combine this program with your existing exercise routine.
