And there’s a new girl on the block. Okay, so she’s not that new but she’s certainly muscling in on the battle of the booties.
Besides acting, Hollyoaks’ star Jennifer Metcalfe’s is also famous for her shapely bottom.
The 29-year-old has previously admitted to having a love-hate relationship with her body, which fluctuates between a size 6 and 12, but is now happy with her sizzling shape, admitting:
‘I love being an hourglass shape! My bum is quite a shelf, it’s got meat, it wobbles and sticks out.’
Exercise:
The Strictly Come Dancing contestant prefers morning workouts to ‘get it out the way’, and attends bodypump classes at the gym twice a week, as well as running on the treadmill and doing weights.
Her preferred machine is the ‘Treadclimber’, which involves walking uphill at a fast pace, and burns calories while focusing on the quadriceps- toning the thighs and bum muscles.
The butt consists of three main muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus.
Fitness trainer Janet Roget advises: ‘Walking is great for the glutes. Every time you take a step, you’re using your glute muscles.’
Squats and lunges tone the buttocks and thighs while increasing muscle size.
Further maximize your ass-ets with leg lifts, planks and the bridge.
Diet:
Jennifer drinks lots of water to keep her booty cellulite free, and opts for brown wholemeal bread which is less bloating.
The soap star doesn’t deprive herself of anything, but sticks to healthy meals such as eggs and lean bacon, jacket potatoes with grilled chicken or fish, and steak with vegetables.
Jen’s Tips:
Try to do daily fitness DVDs but rotate them so your body doesn’t get used to the exercises, and set yourself a regular daily time aside to do it.
