Fitness Trainer reveals How to use Your Pup to Plump Your Posterior
A personal trainer who dedicates her life to giving women toned glutes has revealed how people can plump their posterior with the help of their pups.
Heidy Espaillat, 31, from New York, works full-time as a certified personal trainer and nutritionist — specialising in how to build your behind — and has shared a home workout video using her eight-month-old puppy, Chester, as a weight.
The aim is to help people find innovative ways to get fit — and work on their butts — in lockdown.
“I have always been a big booty lover,” Heidy told Jam Press.
“To me, it looks so sexy when a woman wears certain clothes like a tight dress, jeans, leggings and you see her booty popping out.
“I believe it is one of the most attractive features on a woman and it shows that she worked hard for it in the gym, has been genetically blessed — or paid for it!
“I chose to exercise with my dog to give people ideas on how to exercise at home, if you do not have weights or equipment.
“If a person wants to get results, they will work with what they have available at home.
“That can be a backpack full of books, water bottles, or a pet!”
Combining her furry BFF and her gruelling workouts was a no-brainer.
“I love Chester so much because he brings so much happiness to my life.
“He is my best friend, spends the whole day with me and always put a big smile on my face.
“I’m so thankful for him and cannot imagine life without him.”
On her Instagram (@heidy.espaillat), Heidy routinely shares pictures of her astonishingly pert butt and fun videos featuring her lovable French bulldog — who even has his own page (@chesterthe.frenchie).
But her professional life wasn’t always just mutts and butts.
After leaving university, she worked full-time as a banker earning just over £23,000 a year but found herself unfulfilled with the 9–5 life, so started working out more.
Heidy said: “When I first started training I didn’t know which exercises to do to grow my glutes, so I started searching online how to grow my glutes fast.
“After training for a few months and learning on my own, I decided to get my personal trainer certification to share the knowledge I’d acquired.
“Basically, I noticed that the most requested body part to improve was the booty — so I started focusing on how to build the perfect butt.”
Heidy now runs both a lucrative booty-enhancing online program, as well as has her own gym line called Hellat where she sells leggings, tops and glute bands.
She said: “I offer workout programs and customised meal plans to help my clients grow their booty.
“The exercise programs are beginner-friendly and can be done using just a pair of dumbbells and a glute band.”
Heidy is eager to stress there’s a lot more to the perfect butt than simply doing reps.
She said: “It is very important to also combine the nutrition part with weight training exercises, so they get faster results.
“Clients just need to be ready for a change and do the work. Results will happen soon if they are consistent.
“A big booty can bring happiness and confidence to a woman.
“I really love to help all my ladies get a big booty, because I know that their self-esteem will increase.
“With the right exercises and nutrition, they really can build the booty of their dreams.”
Heidy thinks the big booty trend, made popular by the likes of Kim Kardashian on Instagram, is here to stay.
She said: “I don’t think that the massive booty thing is a fad.
“Tiny butts might come back in style — but there will always be people who like them in all different sizes.”
Heidy also reckons men should start jumping on the outsized-booty train.
She said: “I see so many men at the gym only training their upper bodies, but I like men with a butt.
“My husband trains with me and I get him to do my booty workouts.
“I am very attracted to men’s butts as well!”
Heidy has identified a number of common, unhelpful misconceptions women have about butt workouts.
She said: “Most women seem to believe that lifting weights will make them look manly, but that’s simply not true — lifting weights will help them enhance their natural curves and make the booty rounded.
“Other women think they can get away with just training their glutes once per week — I always recommend my clients train three times a week but keep in mind it’s important to set aside rest days in-between.
“Also there’s this common mistake people seem to make — assuming they need to get super sore to know it’s working.
“That’s just not true — if you don’t get sore, it doesn’t mean that you have failed, and as long as you are consistently training your glutes, you will get results.
“As long as you feel content with the size of your butt, that’s all that matters.”
Heidy recommends switching up your home-workouts to keep the motivation flowing — believing that using your dog could do the trick!
