Big bum blitz


Wondering why your gym sessions aren’t making an impact on the size of your rear? It may be that the exercises you’re doing are adding to, rather than downsizing, the problem!

Some aerobic exercises work your bum muscles so intensively, it looks bulky rather than toned, says personal trainer Matt Roberts, author of Bums and Tums 3 (Dorling Kindersley).

If you’re worried about your rear view, stay away from step classes, step machines, cycling and rollerblading.

Rather try hill walking, swimming crawl, or using the elliptical cross-trainer in the gym.
