Why the buttocks lose firmness
- Body shape is, above all, a matter of genetics. While some people store fat on their thighs, others find their curves concentrated on the stomach. Likewise, if your buttocks are sagging, this may well be genetic baggage, which is difficult to fight against.
- Lack of exercise is also often to blame. Flat buttocks are the result of insufficient physical activity. To restore tone and volume to your glutes, nothing beats regular sessions at the gym. But there is no need to wear yourself out: simply targeting the right exercises is enough to transform your figure.
- Significant weight loss can also have an impact. If the body finds itself in a calorie deficit, it draws not only on its fat but also on its muscles, including the glutes. The result: buttocks that are less firm and looser.
- Age plays a role. Over time, the skin loses elasticity, and the natural reserves of collagen and elastin decline. Muscle mass gradually melts away, by up to 40% between the ages of 40 and 90, due to hormonal changes and reduced nutrient absorption. Hence the importance of a suitable diet, packed with protein, to maintain the rounded look of the buttocks.
Foods to increase the volume of your buttocks
Diet plays a key role in feeding your muscles and encouraging a rounder bottom. Protein is essential for building muscle volume. Remember to include sources such as eggs, meat, fish or soya. To encourage the formation of healthy muscle tissue, focus on antioxidants, such as kiwi fruit. And to stimulate cell regeneration and support muscle growth, don't hesitate to sprinkle turmeric over your dishes.
The best exercise to tone your buttocks
If your goal is to increase the volume of your buttocks, cardio is not your best ally. Aerobic exercise burns fat but does not tone your glute muscles. Choose lunges instead. Place one foot in front and the other far behind, then lower yourself until your knee forms a 90-degree angle. Hold the position for 60 seconds on each side. If you feel comfortable, add weight using water bottles to intensify the exercise.
Everyday tips for toned buttocks
Don't panic if you are not a fan of exercise: there are simple habits you can adopt to tone your bottom every day. Take the stairs instead of the lift, squeeze your glutes while waiting for the metro, or choose to walk rather than take the bus to the office. These small daily efforts will make all the difference in the long term and will show in your figure!
Self-massage to firm the buttocks
Massage is an essential ally for reshaping your buttocks. Use a caffeine-based cream, known for its anti-cellulite properties, and practise the palper-rouler (skin rolling) technique. Pinch the skin between your fingers and work upwards towards the top of the buttocks. If you find this technique a little difficult, opt for a massage cup! This method stimulates the skin, gradually firming it session after session.
To achieve real results, start a dual-action protocol now and show off beautifully sculpted buttocks this summer.
Which technology can eliminate cellulite on the buttocks?
9 out of 10 women have cellulite at some point in their lives, whatever their body type. To get rid of it, an EMTONE protocol remains the most effective option available: this technology combines shockwaves and radiofrequency to act on the orange-peel appearance and the firmness of the skin. While the shockwaves break the attachment between the fat cells and the skin, giving it a smoother appearance, the radiofrequency relaunches collagen production for a firming effect. The recommended protocol is 1 to 2 sessions a week for 4 to 6 weeks, for quickly visible results.
How can you increase the volume of your buttocks?
This technology will deliver better results than daily squats (and will multiply the results of your workouts if you are active). Using electromagnetic pulses, EMSCULPT intensely stimulates the glute muscles, toning them and adding volume. This protocol builds muscle mass effortlessly and sculpts a firm, shapely bottom. For optimal results, plan 1 to 2 sessions a week for 6 weeks. Start now for stunning buttocks this summer!
