I’m popping in today with a killer bodyweight glute and ab workout for you guys. One round of it takes eight minutes and burns like crazy! It’s perfect for when you’re short on time or as an add-on to another workout. You can also do multiple rounds of it and turn it into its own full workout!
Some of the exercises in this workout target core, some activate and strengthen the glutes and some do both at the same time because I’m efficient like that!
BODYWEIGHT GLUTE + AB WORKOUT
Here are the exercises in the workout as well as the time intervals for each. You can save this graphic to your phone or your Pinterest. Here’s a link to all of my workout graphics on Pinterest as a helpful resource for you. You can also visit my workouts page.
And here is a video demo of each exercise because I know how helpful that is! Just a reminder that I share workouts like this regularly on Instagram. I try to post some of them here too but not all of them make it onto my blog.
I was compelled to share this workout on my blog today after an appointment with Dr. Bradberry yesterday to work on my hip. I shared with him that I had been having more pain than normal over the last few weeks with the caveat that I hadn’t even been working out as much as I normally do. He said that my reduced workouts probably actually contributed to my current flair because a) I’m sitting a ton, b) I’m not getting as much blood flow to my muscles because I’m not moving as much and c) I haven’t been keeping up with my glute strengthening work.
I told him that running has been bothering my hip more than anything and that’s usually what bothers it the least (well, other than walking). He said that makes a lot of sense because I’ve been running more since I love fall running and not keeping up with my strength or mobility work like I should.
What would I do without him? 🙂 He gave me a thorough work over and I’m feeling much better and also motivated to get back to regular strength training and rolling.
As always, let me know if you have any questions and I love hearing your feedback if you try the workout.
QUESTIONS
Do you include maintenance work like foam rolling, PT exercises, glute activation, etc into your regular routine? If so, when do you make time for them in your day?
Do you see any kind of PT or chiropractor regularly or get regular massages?
Happy Friday! My exciting news is that fall weather has finally arrived in North Carolina and it’s making all of my running dreams come true. After four months of running through hot temps and high humidity, I want to cry over how light, crisp and cool the air feels. It’s unbelievable the difference it makes [...]
Hi friends – the last 10 days in North Carolina have been hard and sad as our state has navigated the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. It’s been heartbreaking to watch our Western North Carolina neighbors face truly unimaginable devastation and loss. It’s also been disheartening to witness the amount of divisive political rhetoric that is [...]
What a wild, crazy and heartbreaking few days it’s been in North Carolina. Hurricane Helene brought high winds, heavy rains and record historic floods to our state. While we are mostly okay in Charlotte with the exception of downed trees and multi-day power outages, our neighbors to the west did not fare well at all. [...]
I have never really been the type to wear matching workout sets…until recently! The last couple of years I have gotten into the matching set trend. I like feeling more put together at the gym – especially since I have gone back to personal training and spend so much time at the gym with my [...]
TGIF! I’ve got a big round up of meals for today’s post. I’m diving into my current vanilla yogurt obsession, sharing lots of delicious salad combos (per usual) and you’ll see a whole lot of sweet potatoes in my dinners. Not sure why I’ve been eating so many of them but yum! Maybe all the [...]
Happy weekend! We are enjoying a cozy and lazy Sunday morning after staying up past our bedtimes to watch Georgia eke out an ugly win over Kentucky. Let’s hope we’ve gotten that out of our system because we have some hard opponents ahead of us and all on the road – Alabama, Texas and Tennessee! [...]
Happy new week! I am in recovery mode after an active (and amazing!) weekend that included a 15 mile long run on Saturday and a 14 mile hike on Sunday. I spent a lot of QT with the foam roller this morning and also did a bit of yoga after I taught today. Overall, my [...]
