Chisel Your Core With This Glute And Hamstring Workout
If you are looking for a strong and shredded core and increased athletic performance, the hips and glutes cannot be overlooked. "Hip stability is a crucial aspect for both high performance and general health," says Andy Speer, creator of Anarchy Abs from Men’s Health, a DVD workout series designed to help you get that coveted 6-pack.
This workout combines several hip isolation movements to strengthen and stabilize the glutes, core, and hips with a heart-pumping cardio movement to get your engine revving.
The isometric holds in this circuit put your pelvis in proper (neutral) position and then challenge hip and core stability from different directions, adds Speer. Unilateral exercises like the bridges in this workout allow you to strengthen each side individually and work on imbalances.
The starter drill acts like an exclamation point at the end of the circuit, by increasing your heart rate and making you sweat so you can unveil that 6-pack you've been working on.
