Default Working out to build muscle?

I'm on week 8 of IP, I've lost 27lbs and it's going great! But my butt is disappearing!! I know we're not supposed to work out in phase 1, but would I be able to do a little exercise to try to build my glutes? Or should I just wait until I finish IP?

Body weight exercises are great to start with (squats, etc) then you can move on to weight training; also here is a great thread for those learning to run while on IP: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/idea...-couch-5k.html
and another good site with all the gals on it who are still active on this forum & maintaining: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/idea...-muscular.html

hope this helps!

I too have been surprised how flat my but has gotten! T have been walking about 3-4 miles every day for the last 2.5 months but no other exercise. So last week I started a beginner's HIIT workout to try and tone up and reclaim my butt. It's starts really easy and builds up with each workout. So far so good! Good luck to you.

Hi Everyone, I'm back and reading through posts for strength and encouragement. I haven't been able to stay 100% for a while and thus haven't lost the weight - funny how that works.However, I'm on day 57 of a countdown from 60 - and my goal is to stay 100% for 60 days. I hope to stay strong after 60 days but I needed to give myself a shorter goal for now. Anyways I digress...building muscle. I just started back at the gym and I'm working with a trainer lifting weights. This is my first real serious attempt at strength training consistently. Well I saw that Ideal Protein came out with some BCAA's. Has anyone tried them? I've been searching google but only see the very basic description. I'm wondering if the packets are a meal, or supplement like potassium, or if it is a restricted or what. Also, please share any experiences with these if possible. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
