Week 5 Day 5: Lower body - Glutes focus 

One of the tougher workouts this week - aim to bump up those weights for hip thrusts even further and your intensity on the other lifts! 
Make yourself proud & don’t forget to let me know how much you crushed it! You got this! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Walking

Warmup:

complete 50 reps with as little of breaks as possible

- Holding a dumbbell in each hand at your shoulders lower into the bottom of a squat
- Stand back up 
- As you reach extension press the dumbbells overhead
- Lower the dumbbells back to your shoulders repeating the movement

DB Thruster

Stand alone:

- 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, contract your glute muscles

Barbell hip thrusts

- Place your upper back on the bench
- Push through your heel raising your hips 
- Engage your glutes at the top
- Work both sides
- 10 per leg

Bodyweight Single leg hip thrust

Superset:

- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart holding a barbell or dumbbell in an overhand grip (palms facing you). 
- Your knees should be slightly bent and the aim is to maintain this slight degree of flex throughout the movement. 
-Bend at your hips and lower the barbell, keeping your back straight. 
- Pretend as if you are hinging your hips back towards the wall, once you start to feel the stretch in your hamstring - return to starting position

Stiff legged deadlift

- 10 per leg 
- From a standing position take one giant step back 
- Drop your back knee towards the floor until both legs are bent at 90 degrees
- Stand back up to the starting position

Reverse Lunge

- Position yourself on your hands and knees
- Keeping your knee in a bent position
- Lift your knee away from the midline of the body
- Pause at the top of the motion 
- Slowly return to the starting position
- 15 per side, 30 total

Fire Hydrants

- Strap the cable to your ankle 
- Bring your knee up 
- Kick your leg back behind you engaging your glute
- 10 each leg
