This glute-focused session is designed to build, lift, and define the muscles of the lower body without machines or surgery β€” just smart training and consistency.

This workout hits everything: glutes, hips, thighs, and pelvic stabilizers β€” improving strength, balance, coordination, and posture while burning fat and boosting overall function.

βš™οΈ Equipment

  • Blue dumbbells: 5kg / 11lb each

  • Duration: 5–10 minutes per round

  • Goal: Muscle tone, mobility, fat burn, and glute shaping

⚠️ If You Have Knee Issues

You can still perform this session safely β€” just limit your range of motion.
βœ… Work only within your pain-free range and increase depth gradually as strength improves.
βœ… Most knee discomfort is technical, not structural β€” a qualified trainer can identify movement faults in a single session.
βœ… You don’t need a long-term program β€” you just need targeted feedback to ensure the muscles are doing the work, not the joints.

If you’re unsure how to approach a trainer without being oversold, comment below and I’ll help you navigate it.

πŸ” The 5 Key Exercises (In Order)

1️⃣ Floor Touches

A great way to pre-fatigue the quads, making the glutes engage more efficiently.
πŸ‘‰ Work toward touching the floor as flexibility improves.
πŸ‘‰ Avoid leaning forward too far β€” keep tension through the thighs.
Reps: 50

2️⃣ Lunge + Knee Combo

A challenging balance and glute isolation drill.
πŸ‘‰ Hold a wall or chair for balance if needed.
πŸ‘‰ As skill improves, increase your lunge depth (but avoid knee-to-ground contact).
πŸ‘‰ If you feel knee pain, shorten your range.
Reps: 25 each leg

3️⃣ Standing Butt Kicks

Simple, effective, and great for activating both glutes.
πŸ‘‰ Keep the working leg straight and focus on squeezing the glute of the standing leg.
Reps: 50 each leg

4️⃣ Knee Drivers

Builds power and glute recruitment, especially after fatigue sets in.
πŸ‘‰ Kick backward in line with your torso β€” leg straight, hips aligned.
Reps: 25 each leg

5️⃣ Triple Side Toe Taps

Finishes the sequence by hitting the glutes from new angles.
πŸ‘‰ Keep your leg locked out and touch the floor each rep.
Reps: 25 each leg

πŸ’¬ Coach’s Note

Consistency always beats shortcuts.
