So how do you get a bum as perfect as Pippa’s? Because we’ll do ANYTHING!
Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. Celebrity fitness expert Cornel Chin, who is currently training members of the Royal Family but is too discreet to divulge any names, says: “Having a slender yet rounded backside is much to do with genes.”
What a bummer.
“And if you look at Pippa’s mum Carole, you can easily see where she got her slim yet curvy, long legged figure.”
But wait. All is not lost. Cornel adds: “Better news is, there is a lot you can do to improve your butt. The gluteus maximus is a big muscle that responds quickly and dramatically to exercise. And that’s great, because I’ve already had a queue of clients pointing to pictures of Pippa and saying, ‘I want a body like THAT’.”
Even if, like lots of us Brits, your bum is so big it has to be carried around in a suitcase, Cornel – author of Celebrity Body on a Budget – insists there are simple everyday things we can do to slim it down and tone it up.
He says: “Pippa plays a lot of tennis, which is great for toning a behind because you’re on your feet constantly and doing lots of short forward and backwards sprints. And she swims frequently.
“Swimming is also good for giving you buns of steel but not the breast stroke, because the frog-like movements don’t involve your buttocks. The front crawl is far more effective.
“If you want to change the shape of your bum, losing excess weight will help shift saddlebags and any excess bum baggage.
“But it’s exercise rather than diet that will create that enviable shape. There’s lots you can do even without setting foot in a gym. Always take the stairs and never take a lift. And climb two stairs at a time to bend the knees more and engage your glutes.
“If you have a boyish, straight up and down figure and want more curvature, avoid strenuous cardio workouts and extreme diets.
“And if your bum is on the J-Lo side, avoid squatting exercises with heavy weights as they will build up the glutes.”
Tone up your tush
Celebrity and Royal fitness trainer Cornel Chin says:
“The two best exercises for bums are lunges and squats. To lunge, stand upright with your hands on your hips. With the right leg first, take a large step forward until both knees are bent. Don’t let your back knee touch the floor but keep it six to eight inches above the floor. Then push backwards to the starting position, which needs quite a strong thrust. Repeat with the other leg.
“For squatting exercises start by standing with your feet just outside hip distance apart and a chair behind you. With your hands behind your ears, across the chest or on your hips, bend your knees and lower your buttocks towards the floor while keeping your back relatively straight until you lightly touch the chair. Extend the legs and return to the start position.”
