How to Activate Your Glutes to Get More Out of Your Workout

Fire up your lower body with one simple exercise.

When trainer Bruce Mack had us try the Mini-Band Circuit for the first time, we couldn't believe how quickly it fired up our hips, thighs, and glutes. Within seconds, we could feel our lower-body muscles working, and within a minute, they were quivering in that crazy, yet this-is-totally-working way. 

You can do this move while zoning out in front of the TV or use it as a quick lower-body warm-up before any workout. It will wake up your glutes so they're primed and ready for action, which means you'll get more out of your sweat session (especially during squats and lunges) and see results faster.
