It is important to understand that to get bigger buttocks, you have to work on both your hip muscles and hip fat. There are three types of hip muscles: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The more you work these muscles out, the more you will build these muscles up, giving your buttocks a toned look. For bigger, rounder, and firmer buttocks, make sure to take care of the fat layer above the muscles as well. Depending on the current amount of fat around your buttocks, you will either have to shed or gain fat.
So, let’s see how you can get curvylicious buttocks the natural way.
