KB goblet squat (on plates )

KG sumo deadlifts

Stand with your feet wider than your hips,  toes pointing out. Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed, then hinge over from your hips, bending your knees slightly and grab the kettlebell with both hands. Push through your heels, extending your hips and knees to pick the weight up off the floor. Slowly return to your starting position and then drive back up again. This is 1 rep.

Banded fire hydrants

Take the micro band & loop it around your legs, above your knees. Kneeling on the floor, with hands placed under shoulders in tabletop position, back straight, core tight and head straight. Slowly lift one leg up to the side, till you feel a squeeze in your glutes, and slowly bring it back down to starting position. This is 1 rep.

Romanian deadlift (barbell or kettlebells or dumbbells)

Stand hip-width apart, with soft knees. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, in front of your hips, neutral spine, move your hips back to slowly lower the dumbbells to your shins, just above the ground. Maintaining form, slowly extending back up, keeping spine neutral and pushing through those heels. Once at the top, squeeze those glutes. This is 1 rep.

Hip thrusters (off box or bench with dumbbells/ barbell)

Sit with your shoulders and back against the bench, with the barbell positioned in line with your hips. With feet hip-width apart, and firmly planted on the floor, place hands on the barbell, core tight and slowly lift hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes. Hold for a second, then slowly lower back to the starting position, making sure your upper back is in constant contact with the bench. This is 1 rep.

Back squats

Place feet hip-width apart, unrack the barbell and place on the upper section of your back. Keeping your core tight, and chest up, push your bottom/hips out & slowly lower your body to the floor, until your legs are parallel to the floor.
