If your goal is to build round and curvy hips then you need a routine that will target all the gluteal muscles.
Especially, the gluteus medius.
It’s one of the hardest gluteal muscles to hit during a workout.
For this quick routine you won’t need any weights, equipment or accessories.
That being said, if you want to add dumbbells or a resistance band, you’re more than welcome to do so.
Adding extra resistance to your glute workouts will only make your results better.
The Curvy Hips Workout Overview
You’re only doing 3 different workouts all focused on hitting gluteus medius and gluteus minimus from various angles.
Keep your rest times no longer than 20 to 30 seconds, this helps to keep the intensity and challenge the muscles more.
If you don’t need any rest times in between then just move to the next set.
One thing you should remember when performing the exercises is to go at a controlled pace.
Meaning, don’trush through the exercises just to get it over with. You’ll just end up wasting your precious time and energy.
