Forget barbells — you need just 1 dumbbell and 6 moves to build bigger glutes

Woman doing a glute bridge with a dumbbell.

Want to train your glutes but don't want the fuss of setting up a barbell with weight plates? Don't worry. Despite what you may have heard in the barbell vs. dumbbells debate, both weight styles accommodate progressive overload training, meaning you can make strength gains and build muscle with both. 

Thanks to fitness trainer Eliza Katoa, we've found a dumbbell-only lower body workout specially designed to develop strength and muscle in your glutes. Progressive overload is a training technique that involves gradually increasing the demands of your workouts. If this is something you want to use in your lower body sessions to boost your glute building goals, we recommend working with a set of the best adjustable dumbbells as they allow you to move up or down weight from one model.
