Glutes Workout at Home with Weights and Resistance Band

Hey, babe!

If you're needing a booty workout routine for home, I've got you covered. Most people don't realize that there are a lot of exercises that are superior to squats for activating the glutes. 

Don't get me wrong, squats help (especially banded squats) and I certainly still include them in my routine. But there are so many exercises that you probably aren't using that make a huge difference! We'll cover some of those in this workout!

If your goal is to grow great glutes, focus on:

• Hitting the glutes with a variety of different exercises and angles
• Mind muscle connection
  • Pay attention to where you are feeling the movement. Many people have weak, under active glute muscles and, therefore, end up recruiting the quad and hamstring muscles to do the work instead. If you're not feeling the movement in the booty, pick a lighter weight and focus on squeezing the muscle. 
• Performing a variety of rep ranges
  • The body adapts to rep ranges before it adapts to the exercises themselves. Make sure you're not just hitting the same movements for the same reps with the same weight every single week. 
• Incorporating progressive overload 
  • Your body needs to be challenged in new ways over time. There are so many ways to progressively overload the muscles. A couple include: increasing weight, decreasing rest, increasing reps, increasing sets, and increased time under tension (slowing down the reps).
