The glutes and core will be challenged… but how good are we at performing each exercise to the very best we can?
GLUTES
Push against the band at ALL times!
Lift during hip thrusts by ‘squeezing’ the glutes!
CORE
During leg lift in plank, aim to keep hips facing the floor
Relax shoulders
Resist any movement at the hips
Keep quads tight
Brace that core!!!
The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise within each giant set, with 4 exercises within each giant set! We then have 30 seconds for rest & to get into position for the next giant set!
We perform each circuit for only 2 sets!
These giant sets are formatted to mentally allow for you to push even harder during the sets as the next giant set will be a different exercise & position, changing from a hip thrust, then to planks, sumo squats and single leg body weight only hip thrusts!
For this workout you will need a larger dumbbell / barbell / kettlebell, your mat, glute band and a chair / bench for hip thrusts! Alternatively you can perform bridges on the mat if you prefer!
I also use a towel simply to place under the dumbbell during hip thrusts.
The dumbbell I am using is 25kg!

Oh yessss!! One of my favourite glute workouts so far!!
Aside from pushing against that band when wearing it, think about really squeezing that glute during the planks!!
I’m pretty sure you’ll love this!!
