Glutes and Core Workout “Butt Workout”
Last week I posted a 6 week body building workout that was mostly popular among the guys. This is not to say that women can’t benefit from a muscle building program. There are many benefits to building muscle such as burning more calories, injury prevention and a better well being.
This week will cater (by request) more to the females with a glute and core workout. This type of workout is a big craze and there are many fitness videos and products out there targeting the glutes. You may have heard of the “Brazilian Butt Workout” or “Buns of Steel.” This is a free workout that offers the same benefits!
Men should never forget this area as well. The glutes are the powerhouse of the body. Any jumping, sprinting, power speed activity will need strong glutes and hips, along with a properly functioning core.
