I love spin, but as far as I can tell it hasn't helped my butt cheeks at all, they still look like deflated balloons. :lol:

Spin helps in the sense that it burns calories however if you want to lift "da butt" you will need to do specific exercises that effect the 3 muscles that make up "da butt"

1. Gluteus minimus

The smallest of the glute muscles lies directly under the gluteus medius.

2. Gluteus medius

This pork chop-shaped muscle sits near the outside of your pelvis.

3. Gluteus maximus

True to its name, the maximus is the biggest muscle in your body.

Some of the key exercises are:

Bulgarian split squat - 15 slow proper reps per leg

*Following done while on forearms

Mule kick

Mule kick w/curtsy

Swim kick

Circle kick

*All "kicks" done 15 reps back to back all one one side then switch to the other side

Prepare for an awesome soreness in the following day ; )

Yea, found that out in biking, but not too worried. My wife keeps grabbing my "Gluteus maximus" every time I walk past, so it can't look too bad. :D

BTW, normal peddaling in spin does focus on the Quads, but Isolations and hovering do transfer the work to the back of the upper legs as well. Fact is my entire upper leg burns during isolations, which is why I hate them so much.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
