    10-MIN GLUTES AND LEGS WORKOUT

    ALL LEVELS / functional glutes and legs workout

    Equipment: Plyo box

    Plyo boxes — now that’s a funny name for a rather simple fitness equipment. Plyo is a diminutive of Plyometric or jumping training. You can find Plyo boxes in all EVO clubs, and there’s a reason behind it: it’s an effective way to make your workouts more entertaining and challenging. Plus, as we covered before, they are perfect for building explosive power.

    There won’t be jumping around on today’s session, which also helps prove these boxes’ versatility. It’s a functional glutes and legs workout that will use the soft surface of this equipment as support. Angie Cavazos, a friend and personal trainer from Vienna, is the mastermind behind it.

    This workout consists of only 3 exercises to be performed in 3 rounds, 10 reps on each leg. Simple, challenging and effective — the way we like it.

    1. Single leg figure 4 hip thrust
    2. Single leg box squat
    3. Single leg hip hinges 

    Ready to think outside the box? Let’s go! 

    Trial

    WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

    3 rounds

    1 – SINGLE LEG FIGURE 4 HIP THRUST

    10 reps each leg

    • Start in a seated position with your back and arms on the box.
    • Cross one leg over the other and drive the other foot into the floor.
    • Bridge your hips up while squeezing your glute, using your heel. 
    • Lower your hips back to the starting position and repeat on both sides. 

    2 – SINGLE LEG BOX SQUAT

    10 reps each leg

    • With the box behind you, plant both feet on the floor hip-width apart. Then, release one of your feet from the floor. 
    • Bend the other leg at your hips, knee in line with your toes, until you can lightly sit on the bench. 
    • Makes sure your back is between a 45- to 90- degree angle to your hips.
    • Use your heel to return to the starting position and repeat on both sides. 

    3 – SINGLE LEG HIP HINGES

    10 reps each leg

    • Stand tall, feet hip-width apart and arms at your side. 
    • Place one foot on the box behind you and stand in just one leg, with that knee soft. 
    • With your core tight, hinge your upper body forward, bending it at your hips. 
    • Lower it until it’s parallel to the floor. 
    • That’s one rep. Repeat with both legs.
