Dumbbell Legs and Glutes Workout | 14 Minutes | Follow Along

Hello everyone!

The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body... it can be very powerful and there are many benefits of working the entire gluteal muscles: they play a very important part in supporting your lower back therefore if done correctly strengthen core and reduce risk of injury, improvements in posture, athletic performance, support everyday movements such as climbing stairs, hip rotation and improve overall physical composition.

In order to work the gluteal muscles, as with other muscle groups in the body, it is important to train them in different ways. From resistance, isometric holds, plyometrics, band work, increasing overload, directly and indirectly these are some of the ways to incorporate training towards growing your glutes.

This is a workout of movements such as lunges, squats, deadlifts and glute bridges. They all require the glutes to work alongside the quads, hamstrings and core to perform correctly and smoothly.

I hope you all enjoy this workout... I’ve finished with some bodyweight bridge movements simply to put extra emphasis on glutes at end!

I have used 2 x 15 kg dumbbells in this workout and dropped to one dumbbell for movements such as kneeling squat and the bridges.

Thanks for watching!
