The glutes — comprised of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus — are the largest muscle in our bodies — which means they deserve some special attention.
Targeted glute work is my jam! I could tell you I love training glutes because of the benefits that having strong glutes provide for our bodies (and there are a lot of benefits!), but in the spirit of complete transparency, I’ll admit this: I personally love training glutes because I really enjoy having a perky butt.
Do you have to do an entire targeted glute circuit in order to have strong glutes? Absolutely not. However, if you are into stronger glutes and enjoy a perky butt as much as I do, this might be for you.
As I stated above, having strong glutes does serve an important purpose in our bodies.
Strong glutes are essential for reducing the risk of back and knee pain, and for aiding in athletic performance such as squatting, deadlifting, running, and jumping.
The truth of the matter is that while I consider having perky glutes pretty cool, it’s really just an added bonus. Having strong glutes is preventative care for our backs and knees, and helps us in our daily activities.
Are you ready to work those glutes? If so, I’ve got a killer glute circuit for you below.
Before beginning your workout, start with a quick warm-up by completing two rounds of the following movements, performing each movement for approximately 30 seconds:
For another dynamic warm-up example, you can try out this warm up from Molly Galbraith.
After a quick warm up, complete 3 rounds of the following circuit, working with intensity and resting when needed.
You can complete this circuit as a standalone workout or you can add it following squats or deadlifts.
You can simplify the dumbbell glute bridge and goblet squat by removing the weight and using bodyweight only. You can simplify the jump squat by replacing it with a bodyweight squat.
You can make any of these exercises more challenging by choosing heavier weights. You can also add weight to the step-ups, the hip thrusts, and the jump squats. Additionally, to increase the intensity of the lying clam shell, you can add a resistance band.
Remember to work with intensity while maintaining proper form. That means you should rest when you need to, so your form never gets sloppy.
Give this circuit a go and let us know what you think!
And if you need more support with your glute routine, we can help!
