Glutes and hamstrings in 41 minutes: two straight-set circuits and a bridge finisher with dumbbells, a mat and a resistance band.

Day 31 of the HR12WEEK 5.0 plan starts with a resistance band warm-up to wake up the glutes, then works through two circuits of 40 seconds on and 20 off, repeating each exercise three times in a row for serious muscle fatigue. A side-lift and bridge finisher and a cool-down close the session.

Who Is It For?

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

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal for complete beginners or without dumbbells and a band, since the circuits rely on loaded deadlifts, squats and curtsy lunges.

Key Benefits

Builds glute and hamstring strength with deadlifts, squats, curtsy lunges and bridges, after a band warm-up that gets the glutes firing.

Things to Keep in Mind

Choose dumbbells that keep your form clean through all three straight sets, and go lighter on squats and lunges if your knees or lower back complain.
