8 WEEK BOOTY BUILDING GUIDE


Jessica Vaszily – Instagram/Twitter/YouTube: @LIVEFITWITHJESS

• NEW FEATURE: Not sure what a certain exercise is? Or how proper form
should look like? Just go to Instagram and search the hashtag next to the
exercise in this program and a video by me will show up! Easy as pie! This is
new and I don’t have a video for every exercise yet but it will be finalized
soon!
• Notes: REMEMBER TO STRETCH BEFORE AND AFTER EACH WORKOUT.
Stretching is one of the most important factors in building muscle that
people often overlook. Not only does stretching speed muscle recovery but it
increases your ROM (range of motion) allowing work on a larger portion of
that muscle which results in muscle growth. It also increases blood flow and
reduces knots and cramps!
• Light weight: These exercises require low weight because you will be
performing AS MANY REPITITIONS AS POSSIBLE (AMRAP) until failure! (Low
weight, High rep).
• Moderate weight: This refers to a weight on machines or free weights that
you can perform the stated amount of reps and sets without having to stop,
but also creating fatigue. EXAMPLE: if the program says 10 reps X 3 sets, it
should be at a weight that is challenging enough to fatigue you after the 10
reps. Not a weight that is too heavy to perform the 10 reps.
• Heavy weight: Heavy weight exercises do NOT mean your maximum weight
possible. These exercises will require a heavier weight than light or moderate
but fewer repetitions. (High weight, Low rep).
• Super Set: This type of workout requires two exercises at a time, rather than
one. You will complete one SET of the stated exercise and then one SET of the
paired exercise. You will then alternate back and forth between both
exercises until you have completed 3 sets for each (6 TOTAL). EXAMPLE: 8
lunges → 8 squats → 8 lunges → 8 squats → 8 lunges → 8 squats.
• IF YOUR LEGS ARE STILL TOO SORE TO FOLLOW THE PROGRAM AND
CONTINUE ONTO THE NEXT LEG DAY WHEN IT COMES, THEN PUSH
EVERYTHING UP ONE DAY AND TAKE A REST DAY AND STRETCH, STRETCH,
STRETCH!!!

the circuit 3 TIMES! Every time you complete an ab workout, you should be trying to increase
the reps each time. So the next time you do this workout (Day 3) try to increase the amount of
reps even if it’s only by 2!
• Leg raises: 10 reps (if you are more advanced, place hands behind the head ONLY if you
can keep your back flat on the ground without it arching each rep)
• Crunches with knees bent, feet off the ground: 30-50 reps. Shown below:
IG/TWITTER/YOUTUBE: LIVEFITWITHJESS

• Reverse crunch: 15 reps. Same starting position as crunch but your hands may be under
your butt! (if you are more advanced, place hands behind the head ONLY if you can keep
your back flat on the ground without it arching each rep) Bring your knees towards your
chin and lift the butt off the ground slightly, then back down and extent the legs.
• “High knees”: 20-30 reps. Imagine doing high knees but laying on your back! Again
hands should be placed wherever appropriate for your strength level!
• Bicycle variation: 20-50 reps. Alternate each elbow to the opposite knee! Shown below:

• Plank with shoulder tap: 20/+ reps. Do NOT swing your hips! Try to keep them level and
parallel to the ground! Shown below:

Day 3 – Triceps, shoulders + abs


Intensity: Moderate weight
5 minute warm up on any cardio machine
• TRIPLE SET: standing dumbbell frontal raise: 5 reps ® standing dumbbell lateral raise: 5
reps ® standing dumbbell shoulder press: 5 reps. Repeat in the same order but

shouldn’t be coming forward or backward. There should be NO shoulder rotation, only
ELBOW rotation!
• Upright row: 10 reps x 3 sets. Use pre-made barbell or a kettle bell!
• Skull crushers: 10 reps x 3 sets. Use 2 dumbbells rather than a barbell. Again, NO

Day 4 – Glutes, quads + calves


Intensity: Moderate weight
You should be trying to add on more weight for each exercise that was done on Day 1
5 minute warm up on elliptical
• Activation:
20 donkey kicks each leg
20 fire hydrant kicks each leg
20 squats
• Hip thrusts: 12 reps x 5 sets. After the 5th set, take off half of the weight and do AMRAP
(as many reps as possible) UNTIL YOU CAN’T THRUST ANYMOREEE!
• Sumo deadlifts: 12 reps x 3 sets. Use a barbell and add your own weight or a premade
barbell. #lfwjsumodeadlift
SUPER SET WITH ¯
• Weighted lunges: 20 reps x 3 sets. You can hold dumbbells or use a barbell behind the
head. Go deep (low) in the lunge to get a greater range of motion. Do NOT push off the
back foot, push through the heel in the front foot to get up each time! The back foot is
only for balance! You should be lunging low enough that the back knee touches the
ground but come UP before you try to go FORWARD. DOWN, UP… THEN FORWARD
(next leg).
IG/TWITTER/YOUTUBE: LIVEFITWITHJESS

• Single leg press: 12 reps x 3 sets. Use the machine shown below with weight that can be
changed with a pin not a plate loaded leg press! Foot should be between your hips and
your chest. PUSH THROUGH THE HEELS! DO NOT FULLY EXTEND THE KNEE! In the photo
below, I am at the end of the rep, I would not extend my leg any further or else it would
promote injury by hyperextension!

• Cable kickbacks: 12 reps x 3 sets.


SUPER SET WITH ¯
• Elevated squat drop set: 8 reps @ EACH weight x 3 sets. Place a 5lbs plate under the
heel of each foot. The front half of your foot should be on the ground! Use whatever
weight YOU are comfortable with! I use 60lbs for the first 8 reps, then I use 45lbs for the
next 8 reps and then 30lbs for the last 8 reps. Each rep should be a pulse rep! You would
squat and then pulse in that position for 1 pulse and then go back up. 8 reps @ each
weight = 24 reps which is only 1 set! You would repeat this 3 times with the previous
exercise (single leg press) in between each set. #lfwjsquatdrop (first video in series)

• Calf raises: 12 reps x 3 sets. you can do this on a step while holding dumbbells, on the
smith machine with a small elevation under the feet, or on a calf raise machine.

Day 5 – Light recovery


• 30 minutes on stair master. This is a nice light pace just to get a good sweat and lightly
work the lower body after a tough leg day! The worst thing you can do for sore muscles
IG/TWITTER/YOUTUBE: LIVEFITWITHJESS

is SIT AND DO NOTHING! You need to be stretching before and after ESPECIALLY after
leg workouts.

Day 6 – Cardio + abs


• Sprint intervals: 5 sets. Treadmill incline should be at least at 2 (I do incline 5). Speed
should be 85%! This means not your 100% fastest speed but a bit less! Sprint for 30
seconds and rest for 2 minutes. If you are a beginner or do not have great cardio yet,
start with 20 second sprints instead of 30 seconds! Do NOT stand on the sides for the
whole 2-minute break! Yes, I jump on the sides of the treadmill right after because it’s
going too fast to slow down but try and walk for the remainder of the 2 minutes!
ABS
Do as many reps as YOU think YOU can do! Do these exercises once in order and then repeat
the circuit 3 TIMES! (same as day 2 exercises. Try to increase your reps!)
• Leg raises: 10 reps (if you are more advanced, place hands behind the head ONLY if you
can keep your back flat on the ground without it arching each rep)

your butt! (if you are more advanced, place hands behind the head ONLY if you can keep
your back flat on the ground without it arching each rep) Bring your knees towards your
chin and lift the butt off the ground slightly, then back down and extent the legs.
• “High knees”: 20-30 reps. Imagine doing high knees but laying on your back! Again
hands should be placed wherever appropriate for your strength level!

IG/TWITTER/YOUTUBE: LIVEFITWITHJESS

weight about 10-20lbs for this exercise. Don’t try to touch your butt on this one! Once
your legs are at about half of the rep, push your feet up to the sky so that the roll on
your ankles, rolls down to the back of your knees! Do not hold for any amount of time at
the top yet! This will come later! #lfwjhamfrogpumps
• Romanian deadlift: 8 reps x 3 sets. I’m using elevation because 45lbs plates are so big
that it takes away some of the range of motion. You can try this if you like! Do whatever
feels best for YOU. Keep the bar close to your legs at all times. Notice in the video that I
NEVER straighten my knees all the way to prevent hyperextension! Instead of letting my
knees buckle, I’m THRUSTING forward and squeezing the glutes. #lfwjromdead
