Grab dumbbells, a bench, a mat, and a mini band for this 25 minute glute and hamstring drop set strength workout. For resistance reference, I have a pair of 25lb and 15lb dumbbells. For the mini band, I am recomending medium/moderate-heavier(ish) resistance. If you do not have a bench, replace it with something around the house like a chair, ottoman, actual stairs, etc. The band can be latex or fabric. You may want a mat, towel, and hydration around as well.
Today's focus is the glute medius, glute max, and hamstrings. Today's format is dropset supersets. We will perform 2 exercises at a time before taking a break. The first exercise will be the more challenging variation of the superset. We will perform this exercise for 60 seconds with a heavy/challenging weight selection. After that exercise, we either drop the weight, switch up the exercise, and/or switch up the tempo. The second exercise will be performed for 60 seconds, but we will split it up in a 30 second/ 30 second format. We will either change the tempo or make a slight change to the exercise again. After each superset, we will have a 15 second recovery before moving on to a new superset.
I am using 25lb and 15lb DBs throughout. I will always tell you what I am using, but you and I may need different weight selections to feel challenged. You may be able to go heavier than me, or you may need to go lighter than me. Find a weight selection that feels challenging for you while maintaining really great form throughout. To make this workout feel challenging, be sure to push the weight on that first exercise. Ideally we want to get within 2 reps left in the tank (2RIR) before making the drop.
There will be a demo/upcoming exercise in the upper left hand corner of your screen. You and I do not have to go at the same speed/tempo. Find a pace/speed/weight selection that feels challenging for *you*. I hope you enjoy this one! Let me know how it goes in the comments below!
