Running is a popular form of exercise. It is simple, does not require a lot of equipment and can be done whenever you have the time or possibility. Running is great for your heart and lungs and will keep your legs and butt strong, firm and well shaped.
However you might pose yourself the question: Will running make my butt bigger? The answer to that question is Yes and No. Now let me explain what I mean. If you are completely untrained and start running, you will soon notice that your butt will be firmer and a little bit rounder. It might increase in size or maybe even get smaller (this is if you have a lot fat on your booty) but in either case it will make your butt look better.
So, running alone is not going to make your butt a lot bigger. However there is a way of making your butt bigger when you run. Running uphill will put more strain on your butt than running on a flat surface. So if you have a running trail where there are a lot of hills it is going to help you build your booty.
Another way to do it is to finish complete your running first and then run numerous times up and down a steep hill. By pushing yourself hard when running uphill it is going to put a lot of strain on the muscles in your booty and thus make them bigger. You go hard running uphill and let your body relax and rest going downhill. Repeat this as many times as is needed to get a good workout. You should feel tired but not completely exhausted. Take it easy in the beginning and then increase the intensity as you get fitter and stronger.
If you want to further increase the resistance of your stair or hill running, you can add ankle weights.
If you do not have access to stairs then you can sprint instead. Sprinting (as opposed to long distance running is great for building a bigger butt. When sprinting you should run on the front part of your feet (avoid touching the ground with your heals) and lift your knees up high. This will give you speed and activate the muscles in your buttocks. Your shoulders should be relaxed and your arms bent at an angle of 90 degrees you then just let your arms swing up and down as you go along.
As you might have noticed if you have ever watched athletics, sprinters have big well shaped buttocks. This is absolutely needed in order to run really fast and is a result both of their running practice and also all the work they do in the gym lifting heavey weights.
In order to make your buttocks noticably bigger, high resistance is needed. This is because when muscles are subjected to a heavy load, fast muscle fibers are activated. Fast muscle fibers are used when you lift a heavy weight or run at high speed. Now the fast muscle fibers are much bigger than the slow muscle fibers which are used for endurance (such as hiking or running a marathon) and fast muscle fibers tend to grow a lot more than slow ones.
Therefore you need to put your butt under heavy pressure so that you activate the fast muscles and thus if you are to make your butt bigger by running you must increase the resistance by adding stair climbing, mountain running or sprinting to your running routine.
