Let’s isolate, activate and engage the glutes and hamstrings! This workout is really demand a lot from the glutes in particular... but focus on your technique!!
The timer will be on for 40 seconds of work, 20 seconds rest throughout however there will be points where we will hold or full etc during the 20 seconds rest instead to amplify the time under tension!
For this lower body session you will need a pair of dumbbells or 1 large dumbbell/kettlebell, a glute band and a chair for hip thrusts (or you can perform bridges on the mat if preferred).
