Puja, yikes- sounds like TA isn't your thing. My sister tried and also didn't feel the TA love. I do want to add that jumping into days 180- sounds terrible- I'm impressed you stuck it out for 30 minutes! If you ever get the urge to try again, I think Meta is on youtube in its entirety (keeps getting removed, but I've never not been able to find it with a little digging- search with the key terms "Days 1-")
I hear you, though, when you stated that you felt it was a waste of your workout time, because that's exactly how I used to feel, and admittedly sometimes still feel. For me, I think the key was that I had a base of nice muscle from so many years of extreme workouts & also my natural body type. TA helps streamline my silhouette, making the natural & remaining muscle tone visible (my bone structure is an hourglass). My sister has the opposite body type (she's very long legged, with a very small boned lower body, and has great difficulty putting on muscle), so TA didn't give her the results she was looking for. Anyway, it looks like the thread about how to get a juicy booty has some fantastic suggestions, so I'd give those a try to see what your body responds to. I'll report back if the hip thrusts give me the pronounced booty that I'm after... Julie ETA: Bret Conteras has some awesome videos (on youtube) and information (free on his website) about hip thrusting. I also found other very useful resources to the right of some of Bret's youtube videos ("Suggested" videos, I think). Some of these are like set up like workout DVDs, in that the entire hip thrusting series is done in its entirety. I've pulled that up on my iPad and kept it in view while exercising. I've been experimenting with different set-ups, including using my step, a coffee table covered with a mat, a bench, etc. I haven't used a barbell yet, just dumbbells and body weight, but I need to get the form perfect before adding more weight. Here's to the quest for a juicy booty! |
