fitness question: How can I workout my glutes without working out my quads?

I have been working out my glute muscles with leg presses and glute machines, but i can’t isolate them and have to use my quad muscles. Because of this my quads are blimping and huge! I want to stop building muscle on my quads and start building only butt muscle! Is this possible?

Try the 8 Minute Buns Video and see if that is what your looking for.

I would say the best exercises to tone your butt and legs are squats, lunges, and I can’t forget about running, whether it be outside or on a treadmill. There are alot of other exercises too other than just the squat and lunge that are great for toning your butt, legs, and hips. Its just that squats and lunges are just more effective for a overall body appeal and its faster.

Heres a great video showing you how to get your butt looking nice. Do the workout once everyday or if you are in need of a really nice butt as fast as possible then I guess you could try to do it once when you wakeup in the morning and once before you go to bed. I would suggest you do the legs and the buns video rather than just doing the buns video by it self to give you a overall good appeal. If you can, you could combine them, do the 8 Minute Legs and then go straight to the buns video or you can take a little break, like for 1 – 2 minutes and then do the butt workout or just do them at different times of the day like do the leg workout when you wake up or sometime during the morning and then do the buns workout during the evening or at night. I actually tried both these videos and yes they are a really good workout.

On the 8 minute buns, I noticed one good exercise that they don’t use, the Butt Bridge. I suggest that you incorporate this exercise anywhere in the video you like, or just at the ending of the video like I did. Do this exercise fully from bottom to top for 30 seconds and then do 15 – 20 seconds of shorter butt lift.

    You can try deadlifts and butt lifts. As for the reason your quads or huge, if you don’t want them to become any bigger than they are now, perhaps you should consider modifying your workouts. Here is a link for glute exercises:
