One of the most intense glute workouts I have personally ever done! I don’t say this unless I mean it! I am sure you will absolutely love every second of this! Targeting the abs to begin then moving to the glutes and hamstrings with hip thrusts, sumo squats and band walks!
Each circuit is performed for 3 rounds in total!
The first circuit is abs focused, with the remaining circuits hitting those glutes and hamstrings!
For this workout you will need a pair of dumbbells or a large dumbbell/kettlebell/ barbell, a chair for hip thrusts, a glute band and your mat! I also place a towel under my dumbbell to make it more comfortable.
The dumbbell I am using for your reference is 25kg.

This workout officially is the most intense glute focused I have shared here… I really focused during the hip thrust circuit on pushing knees apart, MAXIMUM squeeze of the glutes at top, followed by SLOW release to lower! By the sumo squat circuit, it was extremely difficult! But as you will see, I know when to stop.
During the sumo squats, I paused when I felt I wasn’t pushing my hips back as far as I should.
Also, pausing during the banded squats! I really wanted to keep knees pushing out against band the entire time whilst ascending and descending!
With glute band work, it isn’t like lifting weights in that in order to lift that weight it demands you work…with a band it is completely up to you to make it challenging!
I hope you really feel the glute muscles activated and engaging throughout this workout!
Slow and steady!
