"Sharing some of @janhvikapoor's favorite glutes exercises for when she can't get to the class...These are fantastic to do at home or while traveling because they truly work the glutes. Do at least 15-20 reps of each and 2-4 sets, depending on how you want to incorporate it into your routine...When you're ready to step it up, add the props like dumbbells and resistance bands!" she captioned the post.

Hip lifts, kickbacks, donkey kicks, single-leg hip lifts, and side kick kneeling-single leg back were all part of the training program. Take a peek at the video below.

Glute workouts are important for various reasons, according to Utsav Agrawal, Advance + Fitness Coach, FITTR, including:

*Gluteal muscle strengthening: Glute workouts target the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus muscles, which are important for hip stability, posture, and total lower body strength.

*Improving lower body function: Strong glutes help you perform better in tasks like running, jumping, and lifting.

*Helps with injury prevention: Weak glutes can cause imbalances and compensations, increasing the risk of injury in the lower back, hips, and knees. These muscles can be strengthened to help prevent such problems.

*Aesthetic enhancement: Strong, toned glutes can contribute to a more defined and appealing lower body appearance.

Let's go over the proper technique and benefits of each exercise now.
