gluteous minius !!!!

[nannyjojo]

Hello everybody - I am hoping one of you clever people can help me out. I am not a bodybuilder, just an ordinary mum and grandmother BUT not a grey haired old lady lol. I am normally an active and fit person but unfortunately have had both my hips replaced. This has left me pretty weak in that area and have been given exercises to strengthen my glutes. These exercises are really not doing much and I am really peed off with using a stick all the time..........PLEASE HELP and give me some proper exercises that I can do at home so enabling me to get moving again. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

You dont wana look like Carly, you will end up being Addicted to Peanut Butter, aint that right Babes??

Another good excersise is just to squeeze your Glutes, when at work, home, out walking, etc. Hold and squeeze for 3ecs, release, and do it again, and again, and again.

Ok, your butt....

Is it holding fat or is it simply lacking strength and musclar size/condition?

If its the former then much of that is diet, cardio and weights, if its the latter less cardio but diet and weights
