Exercise: Body Focus

 

Glutes Workout 1

Your backside is where most of your body's raw, muscular power comes from. This workout will strengthen those all-important glutes

The Men's Fitness Body Focus workouts target each part of your body in turn. Work your way through the series and you'll develop strength and muscle mass across your body.

Newsflash: your rear end is for more than just sitting on. All the big, muscle-building exercises that involve the lower body, such as the squat, rely on the glutes to provide strength and direction to the movement. And without the glutes to direct the actions of your legs you'd tip over. Stronger glutes will make you more powerful all over, and better able to lift more weight.

In this two-part workout you will use explosive movements and mass-building exercises to improve muscle co-ordination. If you follow this plan for four weeks and get some extra lean protein in your diet, you'll get more powerful glutes.

How to do this workout
Workouts 1 and 2 are designed as two separate workouts to be done on different days. Leave two to three days between each one to give your muscles time to recover properly. Workout 1 is a triset, which means you should do the required number of reps for exercise 1, then move on immediately to exercise 2, then exercise 3. You should then rest for two to three minutes before repeating the triset. You can add the workouts into a longer gym session or just keep it short and focus on maintaining intensity throughout the three exercises.
