If I do 2 sets of 20 squats each set a day is that enough to tone my ass?

[Anonymous]

Or should I do 30 in the morning and 30 in the evening?

you need to do more than that if you want any difference, and also you should do weighted squats cos body weight isn't good enough unless your cool with small results. you also need to increase the weights you lift or the number of squats you do as time goes on or you'll stagnate

[4ngelic]

do more like 60-80 slightly weighted squats (use anything really that weighs like 1kgs to start of with unless you have dumbells or stuff like that) and hold that when you squat. if you dont want to use any weight do more like 120

by the way it's a myth that just squatting a little bit makes your but bigger or firmer, you need to do a lot more than that and it takes time for big results also. you'll see the first stuff in like a month or two but for the full results can take a few months. and after that you'll have to maintain that too

I dont want a bigger ass just to tone. I have a curvy figure just need to tone

[Asker]

My ass is big already

Dependent upon your current shape and composition yes and no. It’s a standard approach that will eventually work out for bathing suit weather…

Really? Why?

I'm already quite curvy just need to lose 10 pounds

1900 calories, no carbohydrates less whole vegetables…no snack, beer, frozen food aisles for two months with meat and bean NATURAL proteins.
One time. I switched plate sizes to bread plate.

1900 is too much for a woman. to lose weight should be more like 1200-1400 unless she works out on the side or is really tall

I don't need a bigger ass just to tone

Don't work the same muscle group every day. Take at least 1-2 day break before returning to the set of exercises.

Because your muscles haven't had time to fully recover. Generally this heightens the risk of injury. Soreness can lead to bad form. Over exercise can lead to muscle and joint injuries as well as stress fractures in your bones and rhabdomyolysis in extreme cases. Obviously two sets a day isn't pushing your physical limits, but it's still good to take breaks and let your muscles recover to stay in good health. It's better to lift more weight and push yourself to failure, and then take a day or two break to recover and then exercise again after recovery then to do light exercises daily and end up feeling fatigued all the time and never really improve much.

So if I do 2 sets of 20 squats (40 a day) 3 times a week would that tone my ass?

[BeMuse]

I suppose so. Most people would up the weight so that they fail earlier around 12 reps. Then do 3-5 sets. When people are pushing for strength, they might be shooting for a weight that has them fail at 3-5 reps in a set. If 20 reps works for you, I guess it's better than nothing, but personally I'd up the weight and do shorter sets, but more sets.

You should perform a full body workout instead

2 sets of 15 squats will work as well
