A fitness coach who managed to build her dream body by eating more and changing how she worked out has revealed the five steps to growing your glutes by spring.

Sophie Allen, from Sydney, used to run or walk for hours and ate as little as she possibly could in her bid to be 'skinny' and 'fit'.

But five years later, the 31-year-old has realised that true fitness and health is about more than what the numbers show on the scales, like how you look in the mirror and how clothes fit, as well as how you feel on any given day. 

'These are the five secrets to growing your glutes,' Sophie said in a recent Instagram video.
