AWAKENED GLUTES & Hamstrings Workout / Glute Band | EPIC Heat – Day 11

Glute activation, hip thrusts, Romanian deadlifts, sumo squats, banded burnouts! We will work our hamstrings and glutes specifically for the next 30 minutes in this AWAKENING glute & hamstring session!

For this glute and hamstring session, I will be using a glute band, a pair of dumbbells (or x1 larger dumbbell), a towel to place under the dumbbell to make more comfortable and a chair for the hip thrusts.

The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 15kg each and x 1 25kg for the hip thrusts and sumo squats.

You can also use a barbell or kettlebell if you have that heavier weight available!

I will be using a chair for hip thrusts however you can absolutely perform bridges on the mat!

We will begin with some activation before going into a variety of movements to target those glutes and hamstrings!

Banded activation for approx 6 minutes!
Simply follow along on screen between full range, pulses and holds!

This type of workout is different to say pressing a dumbbell into shoulder press… it is up to you to make this as challenging as possible!!

Knees out!

Hips up!

Enjoy!!!
