Glutes and hamstrings in 41 minutes: two dumbbell circuits, a mat and a mini resistance band for the warm-up.

Day 26 of the HR12WEEK 5.0 plan starts by waking up the glutes with a mini resistance band, then moves into two lower body strength circuits of 40 seconds on and 20 seconds off, three rounds each. Bridges, curtsy squats, sumo squats and stiff-leg deadlifts do most of the work before a cool-down. The video runs about 41 minutes.

Who Is It For?

Anyone with dumbbells and some strength training experience who wants a focused glute and hamstring day at home.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal for complete beginners or if you have no dumbbells, since both circuits rely on loaded squats and deadlifts.

Key Benefits

Builds glute and hamstring strength with bridges, squats and deadlifts in a timed format that keeps the pace steady.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose weights that let you keep proper form for all three rounds, and hinge from the hips to protect your lower back and knees.
