This 8-move glute circuit strengthens and builds muscle in your backside

Glute workout: Man doing dumbbell lunges.

When was the last time you trained your glutes? We’re not talking about just chucking one exercise onto the end of your leg day, we’re talking proper, hardcore, going in ham for your glutes. If you've been neglecting yours, then you’re missing a serious trick, and this eight-move circuit will sort them out. All you’ll need is a pair of medium dumbbells and some good workout shoes on your feet.

For a strong foundation, you need strong glutes. The glute maximus (one of our three glute muscles) is the largest muscle in the human body and it’s what helps us make every lower body and lower back movement. Stronger glutes lead to better posture, studies have shown they help you run faster and it’ll give you more power to crush heavy lifts (like deadlifts and squats. Not to mention, it can help alleviate lower back pain, so if you haven’t been making them a priority, now’s the time.
