Day 2 of our first week is a leg workout that focuses on your glutes. Strong glutes are very important for core strength and—since they are the largest muscle in your body—are also important for a healthy metabolism. The more muscle density you have, the faster your metabolism will be! In this way, you can actually burn fat as you build muscle!!

- Stand in a wide toed out stance 
- Hold a heavy dumbbell between your legs in front of you
- Lower into a squat, touch dumbbell to the ground
- Stand up to full extension

DB sumo squat

- Support upper back on a bench and the barbell across your hips
- With both knees bent to 90 degrees 
- Lower your glutes to the floor and press back up to starting

Barbell hip thrusts

Superset 1

- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent and hold the dumbbells in front of your thighs
-Raise one leg off the floor and hinge at your hips, lowering your torso until it’s almost parallel to the floor

Cable lateral kickbacks

Superset 2

- Begin the movement by bending at the waist and pushing your hips back towards the machine 
- Keep a neutral spine throughout the entire movement 
- Keep pushing your hips back until you feel a nice stretch in your hamstrings
