#1 Butt Burning Workout

Finding the right work-out routine is a tough challenge. Remember, every “body” is different and you need to find something that works for you. I put together a glute routine which incorporates cardio and several super-sets. A super-set is somewhat like circuit training: move from machine to machine without rest which in-turn keeps the heart rate up.

Warm-up: Stairs (3 minutes)
