Glutes

The muscles of the hips and bum, trained by driving your hips forward or pushing your legs out.

Sets, reps and rest

Warm-up
1 set
About 50% of your working weight, or lighter, for as many reps as you like.
Working sets
2–3
2 is recommended. Take each set close to failure.
Reps
6–10
Recommended for every exercise. Some exercises also list another range that suits them.
Rest
3+ min
At least 3 minutes, or until you feel ready. Take 5 or more if you need it, because resting too little costs you reps.
