15 minute lower body dumbbell workout focusing on the hamstrings and glutes!

This dumbbell hamstrings and glute workout will involve supersets! Each exercise is supersetted immediately by Romanian Deadlifts. This is a great opportunity to practise this movement. Below are afew key points to remember when performing the Romanian Deadlift:

Feet hip width apart, toes slightly out and knees soft.
Squeeze shoulder blades together, chest open and core tight as you perform entire movement.

Begin to push hips back, keeping back neutral. Gaze is neutral with head inline with spine.
Keep dumbbells close to body entire time.

Only lower to where you feel slight stretch in back of legs. DON’T STRAIN.

To rise, push through heels and drive hips in, exhaling as you do so.

All you will need is X 2 dumbbells, a soft chair or bench to perform hip thrusts on and a towel/mat for the plank challenge if joining me for this month!

The following glute and hamstring exercises will be performed for 30 seconds, followed straight away with the Romanian deadlift for 30 seconds before we have a 30 second break.

We then move onto the next exercise followed by Romanian deadlift and so on!

Please ensure you fully warmup prior for at least 5 minutes. Pay particular attention to your hamstrings.

STOP immediately if you feel any pressure in lower back as with any movement, particularly with a hamstring workout.

This hamstring workout at home is perfect for progressive overload over time and is also a great option at the gym too!

I hope you all enjoy this leg workout with dumbbells and feel it how in the right places!!
