bad A$$ buffing rocks!
I tell you what I feel GREAT–long and lean and loving it–NOTHING beats being buff, well maybe good sex does, lol!
Okay, today’s goal was to kill my butt– I’ll let you know tomorrow if I can move:
warm up 20 min on the r-bike: had to “save” a man on the bench press he couldn’t get the weight up, was laying there stuck, looking around–so In swooped “THE BUFFMOTHER” duddda!! to save the day!!
poor guy he, seemed very embarrassed that a girl had to help him, lol.
On to my wo

Then I saw one of my little princesses looking out the childcare window–so sweet and thought, “I am gonna go home to spend time with her–my booty has been worked hard enough for the moment.”
So now I am home on the computer, AKKK! gotta go get some snuggle time in with the kiddos b4 I have to get supper going.
Have a great night,
BuffMother!
13.1 mile run today
Michelle…Since I am only lifting free weights at home, sometimes I can’t really understand what machines you are working on, etc. Can you just tell me how many squats you do on certain days? I did 15X3 the other day, and it killed me!!! Plus, I know I didn’t go all the way to the floor, but I am scared to get injured. I am still pumped about working out, but I remember when I learned to play the piano….I thought that after a few lessons, I would be able to play like Liberace! I’m only 21 days into this, and I keep wondering when the “buffness” will start…nothing yet but happiness at making the effort, and a lot of soreness!
wow…great butt workout!
That is so funny about ‘Super Buffmother’ to the rescue. I love it. Anyway, today was my day off. I am feeling a bit guilty, shouldn’t, but do. I will try hard this week to make myself proud.
I remember when I first started working out years ago, the first heavy leg workout hurt my glutes more then my leg muscles. I could hardly sit down for 3 days!
so what are butt squats??
Had an awesome workout this morning. Rocking this fit in 40.
Did some cardio & arms today….I have lost 11 pounds & LOTS of inches already!
Did and all compound move routine on Saturday, quick and hardcore. Lifted as heavy as possible.
LOL, saving the guy at the barbell! Classic!!! I think if I could manage to exchange my round belly with my flat butt…I’d have the perfect figure! Guess I better just stick to working harder…
Great save Michelle .. love it when a woman can swoop in and save the day! Back to working out today, took off Saturday and Sunday.. yikes.
40 minutes of running today with upper body. Yeah!
I’m kickin it with ya!!! Today was the first real day back from vacation….got home early yesterday morning so we spent half the day sleeping and the other half getting things back in order. I did a rockin leg workout today!!! I’m ready to get back in gear!!!
I’m moving and not able to workout. Hopefully, I’ll be back on the bandwagon soon.
Another great tip ! thx Michelle
Michelle, great workout. I am up to 60lbs on Butt Squats, trying to get to 70lbs, I may try 70 lbs this week!
Awww! Little princesses! I have one too, she’s 18 and off to college in 12 days.
Power walked 75 minutes and weights.
Louuurve to exercise!
You are crazy strong. My calves are burning from yesterday and I was using 10# dumbells. Yikes.
Gotta love those squats and lunges…still trying to really love them. That’s a good reason to!
Did you see the future of fitness in Oxygen? The youngest woman was 31…GREAT role models. Fun to look forward to!
Did my booty work on Sunday and feeling it NICELY today!!! C/S/T/abs and cardio on the agenda today! TRAIN ON FRIENDS 🙂
I strongly agree with lifting to stay young! I just wish my sister would do it! She’s 50 and has never lifted. She is under the “I don’t want to get big” idea. Now I have been lifting for 20 years and have never gotten “big”. I just can’t seem to get her to try it though! I won’t give up ! 😉
What an inspiration you are to juggling things, work-outs, cuddle with kids and taking care of your family. God bless you Michelle and thanks for all you do.
Great info….!!!!!
YOU are a true INSPIRATION Michelle:)
Let us know if you can walk tomorrow….that intense of a workout would leave me walking funny for days!
Well, I’ve not commented for at least two days. Three different schools started for my three kids (high school, middle school, elementary — homeschooling elementary), and it’s been crazy around here. Work out? Aaaaugh! Plus, we have family in from Louisiana (their kids are out of high school — timing not so good for us!)
Booty workout inspiring, though. May not be able to get to working out ’til later in the week. : (
Great workout yesterday – rode my bike with DH up our hill….ick!! Need to work on the food today and lift.
Great workout Michelle & I’m glad u saved that guy. I guess people could still get hurt in a gym full of people if no one noticed that they were in trouble.
Have a super day!!
xo
I’ve heard this.. and read and been a part of Buffmother for awhile.. I love how I feel when I lift.. but dang.. to get motivated to do it is sometimes hard! Wonder why I have this hang up?
Who doesn’t want to stay young?!
sounds like quite a work out. still feeling under the weather so I am going to take it easy today. better than yestereday but don’t want to push it. tomorrow should be better. have a great day to you all!
Today was squat and lunges day. Yummy! Working on my cardio during my sons football practice. It works out I get to watch my son practice and run the track. Ye ha!
Ohhhh!!! Great booty burn Michelle:)
Since I am visiting my son I don’t have my weights with me. I have been wanting to buy a medicine ball. Finally got an 8 pound one. Did a workout with the DVD that was included. You can do so much with it. Love it! I am sore today! Went for a 4 mile run this morning. Being buff is great.
I had a great workout yesterday. Today I will do intervals.
Got my cardio in this morning, will do weights this afternoon
Awesome workout, Michelle. You inspire me to go heavier – sometimes I just stay at the same weights and routine too long.
Did 35 min. HIIT yesterday a.m. and chest/abs in the afternoon. I feel special being part of this group which as added another bonus/inspiration.
no butts for me ran 3 miles
my bones and muscles are the foundation to my temple…I will take care of them and LIFT!
Squats get the job done –and lunges are my favorite b.c they work…..weight training is what everyone needs!!!
You rock Michelle!
Great story!
when I work 3 12 hours shift it is hard to get movtivated. Any suggestions.
today is my off day, thank you for the great tips.
Day 22 – I love lifting weights. It makes me feel so strong and good after.
well…I HOPE it inspires you~ the cool thing to realize is that our bodies are AMAZING and we don’t give them enough credit. You CAN lift way heavier than you every thought possible!
ROCK HARD!!!!
IT’s all about body composition~ you are trading fat weight for FIT weight!!
me too!!!
HEHE!!
=))
workout on your days off!
thanks!
they sure do!
wonderful!! Have you thought about joining our Rally Room~ You’d love the support there http://www.therallyroom.com
OH wow!! big life changes ahead~ God bless!!
Being buff IS GREAT!
that’s a wonderful combo~ we just had football signups last night and tomorrow is the “DRAFT”…crazy how seriouse they are about FB here~ tackle starts in 2nd grade and my son is now in 4th.
maybe some teenagers?
I would way rather lift than do any other type of exercise~ it’s just so darn effective!
I bet he’s glad too, lol!
crazy busy for your right now~ It should get better!! hang in there~
Today is a glute day for me too. I won’t be walking gracefully tomorrow.
God has blessed me! BIG TIME!!
I’m not sure I EVER walk normally, lol!
Cool!
Checking in
Trying this workout today! Goal: Rock hard rear!
Elipitical and bike this am.
GOSH Michelle, after reading your wkout, I feel so weak! UGH! It’s supposed to motivate me though,…right?!?! LOL! Okay, okay, I DO NEED a nice tight butt!!
Thanks for making me accountable!
Great tip! Plan to do some interval training later.
ooof – wondering if you’ll be able to walk normally tomorrow LOL!
Bought a bike today, and can’t stop looking at it . Maybe tomorrow I will ride it.
Checking in today. Still kind of on track, actually, getting back on track after the monthly you know what!
cool! you are going to see some nice results over the next 2 weeks!!
Get on it and RIDE!!
Great blog! Spent the day in a car riding to NY
That workout sounds like it was a killer! I just got home from the gym myself but tonight was only cardio.
staying focused so happy
Got a great workout in! Intervals on the rbike and Back and shoulders. 😀
I am sooo happy to hear that!!
good job!!
going to really strive this 2nd half
tired and trying to get my head back in it
All I can say is WOW . . .killer booty wo!
Like I said before, your leg workouts are insane! 🙂 My knee is still bothering me, so I have not been able to do squats or lunges much 🙁
ahh, the famous leg day.. i have to do alot to really get my legs sore,, lunges normallydo the trick, but i dont always do them.. I will try and start doing more of them…
ahh, the famous leg day.. i have to do alot to really get my legs sore,, lunges normallydo the trick, but i dont always do them.. I will try and start doing more of them…
go for it Barbara!!
I am impressed by those that run so far!
That’s one heck of a workout!
Got in a great cardio workout today. Legs tomorrow…
legs today-check….. after good workouts all week, doing yoga tomorrow. oh….um…..
I wish I knew half of the exercise names you say! That is why I bring your book with me so I can look at the pictures:) I did my interval training today on running. YAY!!!
great workout. I will have to try it!
I love lifting…nothing has done more to transform my body.
Hi again,
Had great workout. Will hope to finish later.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Lora
It’s funny how when my body gets used to exercise, it begins to crave it. I can literally feel my muscles being agitated because they want a work out. It’s amazing how we work!
Arms and legs are toning…apple abs slow to follow!
Wow!! that’s fun to hear Poppy!! keep that lifestyle attitude 🙂
lol~ apple abs need a lot of attention 🙂
I know!! I didn’t workout yesterday and had the hardest time falling asleep. I need, need, need my workouts…they are like my daily medicine!
AMEN!! I would be scared to know what my body would look like without lifting like I have the past 6+ years
you’ll learn…we’ve all started from scratch 🙂 GREAT JOB on the run!!
the mind is a powerful thing! Sometimes I just have to turn it of and GO!
sorry about your knee…i have a bad knee too. I just take it one day at a time. Your knee will heal up and let you work squats and lunges again soon!
I’m still on track, starting to see small changes. My ‘saddlebags’ are slowly starting to vanish…which is really nice. 🙂 Eating right has become a lifestyle, instead of a chore, so that’s nice…FINALLY!
Oh, how much I love leg and butt day. They usually return the favor the next day, but as you stand in the mirror, you realize just how amazing they look. Keep pumping.
enjoy the rest, you deserve it!
I love seeing results in the mirror!!
Tomorrow is my leg/butt day and I can’t wait. I love to train this area so much. I am having a rest day today and enjoying every minute of it.
Love the tip about lifting! I was unable to lift at all during my pregnancy due to medical reasons and the resulting flabbiness has made a believer out of me! I don’t think I have ever not lifted weights at all for 8 months before and I am so happy to get back to it now! Until you can’t work out you don’t realize that it is a privledge to be able to exercise that we really shouldn’t take for granted!
So I missed the gym 2 day in a row because my kiddo was sick. But he is feeling better now. I did do the 7 for 7 ab workout last night in my living room. I have only done it 4 times and I can already tell my pooch is looking better and so is my posture!
Today I am back to the gym. Glad I worked out both weekend days last weekend because I didn’t anticipate my little boy getting sick this week. I may try to keep working out both weekend days when I can so that little glitches during the week don’t get me too off track.
Great workout this morning… 45 minutes on upper body, 7 for 7 abs, 20 minutes of intervals on the treadmill. Take that fat!
Way to go Natalie. I just did weights and cardio at lunch. Yay! I am happy to get back on track.
amen about it being a privilege…Keep that perspective!!
You showed “fat” whose boss for sure!!!
“it’s all about the BUTT”
Day #22….LOVE working the butt!!
Missed my workout out this morning, but I plan to hit my chest and back later today. I love working out first thing in the morning, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way-especially when you stay up till after 1am:)
Late nights cam be killer…I am a night owl and have a hard time with morning workouts. I’d love to change that though!
OK… Had a GREAT workout today! Did upper body circuit and 30 minutes of treddy cardio.
Today starts my buffing and I am goning to hit it hard for the next two weeks! I am ready to buff! – butt and all.
(But I realllly love boosting more!)
Tammy 🙂
Day 22!
Mondays are pilates day. One hour pilates and 1 1/2 hours total body and rowing. Great work out! I am tired but the good kind. Have a great Thanksgiving!
It’s so fun being the buff chick at the gym…LOL! And even more fun now that I am a mommy. I love the way it feels to get in a good work out and be all pumped then come home with all that energy to play with my sweet baby boy!!!
Thanks, I am on the mend~
AMEN!
sounds like a perfect start to the week!
By the end of boosting I am sick of it and by the end of buffing I am sick of IT…thats why 2 weeks is perfect timing!
Ha ha, too funny about the fellow you had to help! It probably killed him to have a women help. I’ve actually was asked to spot before – didn’t have any confidence and never thought I could do, but, I did! I’m doing cardio on my lunch, then going back to do legs tonight when I have more time…I can’t wait!!!!! Hope your back gets better soon…
Whew, long day post call. Just got 15 minutes of cardio in and leg workout. Missing my babies, 2 nights in a row of being gone was also getting me the guilt trip from hubby. Cut it short today, do better tomorrow!
At least you got some exercise to keep your MOJO!! I bet your glad to be home!
I started a new cardio workout today i went well lets see how the rest of the week goes
good deal!!
did legs last night. pushed harder and really felt the work in my booty. 😉
Gotta keep young for my kids.
Awesome story….being fit I such a better way to live. It helps every aspect of your life;)
Haven’t gotten to much strength training yet. I want to add it in but I’m trying to take things a step at a time, work it into a system, then add something else. Today started week three!
Back to 148 … phew. Lost five pounds, gained them back and now I lost them again… I’m behind, not defeated!
Defintely need to up my reps and weight on the backside… will work harder on that tomorrow.
you’ll enjoy the results from the extra effort!
great attitude….Just wondering are you charting your hormones? and weighing daily?
that’s smart…keep upping the amount you are doing and you will keep gaining momentum!
that’s right!!
I cannot lift too heavy for my lower body due to knee surger couple years back so its taking me longer to see results.
Going to take the kiddos outside to play before I clean the house! They are the reason I am trying to be healthy.
people always emphasis great abs, but a great butt is just as important!
I am a butt woman for sure!
YES, and a very good reason at that!
Just take your time and be patient…you may be surprised at how well your knees do.
Yep! it’s a squat that focuses on your butt- Here’s a video
May i ask what is a butt squat?
Definately going to have to try those!! Thanks!
Yes they work!
I get a total rush from lifting. Nothing like that feeling in your arm, shoulders &/or legs when your all pumped up.
I’m glad I discovered weight training (since it’s the fountain of youth)! I LOVE IT!!
I am going to try a new butt move tomorrow. Kneeling cable kickback. Love finding new moves
Love it, love working on my ‘rear’! Thanks for the videos, they are very helpful.
I would love to have a young looking body. I will keep lifting weights until I get there!
I just got done working my butt and legs ~ bought the Oxygen “Glutes” issue yesterday, and it gave me some great inspiration!!
I love being inspired by that!! Isn’t it so fun to know you can create a great booty!!
Muscle is the fountain of youth!
Off to work out!
Leg work out tomorrow! Last weeks was great. Got a good booty sore. Felt great.
I feell better after reading this got a good laugh Ha!! Love that you got to save a dude!! Lovin it!! Today is boosting and I was feeling very PMSy it was already my day off since it’s sunday- my day to especially nurish the spirit but a trip to Mom’s house and PMS equaled a cheat day which is very bad!!! I will do better tomorrow!!! It is Leg day monday woot woot!!!!
tomorrow is a new day- get back at it!! You’ll have an amazing week~!
still sore form my leg workout on Sat.
Chest/triceps wo, 15 min. warm up Elliptical
Done and then some! Wonder if the butt squats you mention will give me a butt. I don’t have one! LOL
Love to work that booty!!! Hilarious that you saved a guy from the weights!!!
Worked my legs last night!! FEEL THE BURN!!! You know, I’ve noticed since I’ve been working legs that I sit up higher on the toilet seat, LOL!!! My legs use to spread out on the toilet seat but now they stay firmly in place. Is that TMI? haha
That is TOO funny – I bet that guy doesn’t tell THAT story to any of his buddies! HA! I recently learned how to do a new exercise with ankle straps on and lift my leg backward, it really works the glutes and hams. I love it, wish I could do more at home. Also have been doing lunges almost every day periodically through the day.
Great workout. I am going to have to try the bent over leg curls.
I’m trying this work out today, hopefully I can dance after I’m done, lol.
that is so awesome haha…there’s nothing a mother cannot do! i injured my shoulder during yesterdays workout. today is all about legs and glutes!
Great butt workout. I’ve been neglecting my butt lately. Must work it out today!
Today is MOTHER’S DAY so I’m suspecting it will be very busy! First stop: Church, then…..I don’t know, they said it’s a surprise! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL YOU BUFFMOTHERS OUT THERE!! 😉
I struggle with lunges. But I will try a modified version of this workout.
Modifications are good…Go MELISSA!!
Getting mad carb cravings but realised haven’t had any greens for couple of days, maybe why. Body starving for vitamins! Barbell guy may do this again if he’s gonna be saved by buffmother;) you know how guys can be devious when got eye on someone lol, send a sweaty dude over if he has done it again:-)
definitely going to try this work out today!!! I need to get buff!
Great workout!
thanks Jen!!
Lifting my legs and butt tonight! It’s been over a week and I can’t feel those muscles anymore!!!!
It’s a good cardio work out today, then hard core legs and butt tomorrow!
Another great lower body workout! Do you stick with the same workout for a few weeks or do you change it up every week?
Need to get back in the gym today!
I wish I had a childcare area in a gym near home. That would make things easier!
Wow, this one looks really tough. I think I’ll wait and come back to it next buff!
Phew – looks like a tough workout! I’m trying to incorporate more cardio to melt away the pounds but still lifting as it is my first love! LOL
Weight training is the fountain of youth!! It reverses the aging of your muscles and bones~, plus it’s the key to keeping your metabolism strong…. if you wanna stay young lift!
I wish I knew what even HALF of that notation meant lol
Need to get my Butt into gear…or geared up. Day 22 . I have been learning so much the last couple of weeks. Even bought a Muscle & Fitness magazine today. I have never bought a fitness magazine 😉
I have been lifting for 2 years and,at 51, am in the best shape of my life! I have competed in 3 figure comoetitions….took first in Masters’!
I am going to have to borrow your butt workout! I’m working on lifting my butt more so after I was impressed by how it’s already shaping up. Was dress shopping for party dresses yesterday and found one that really emphasized my a$$ests! lol I love how weight training changes my body.
Fuuny story.. I was in a panic because I could not find Day 22 in my inbox. I was searching folders of my email and I couldn’t find. You would have thought I lost the email that said I won a million dollars. TO ME if information is worth that! I sent Michelle and email to resend it but I FOUND IT!! So happy I did. I really appreciate reading the articles getting information and workouts. Day 22 for me was one hour of cardio. I try to get in at least 3 one hour sessions a week. Intensity is high. I lift most days breaking the bady parts. I like to have a varied workout routine.
Great workout! I know I will feel it tomorrow!
Just picked up new 25 pound dumb-bells today!!
Yo. Go girl Michelle buff mom! 🙂 you’re awesomer than Mc Gossomer!
love lifting, feeling the burn and the doms!! love it!
Finding that balance is hard!
A fountain of youth….. That’s motivation enough for me!
That’s why I lift… Trying to get it tight!
get TIGHT!!!
really need to add lifting permanently. I get hung up on doing arobics for fat burn but know that more lean muscle = more fat burn.
That sounds fierce!!! There are a few things going on in that workout that I don’t understand. Time to get researching. I love new exercises to try
