HIIT Booty Bootcamp // Butt Workout + Glute Activation

Wow! What an awesome workout!  HIIT Booty Bootcamp // Butt Workout + Glute Activation is another amazing workout from Heather Robertson. She hits your glutes from all angles with different modalities and it creeps up on you. I finished this workout over an hour ago and my glutes and upper hamstrings are still stinging. It is set up in 3 parts and by the 3rd part my lower body was burned out! My legs were weak! I love this workout! Today I used it as my doubles workout but this could be paired with one of Heather’s (or another trainer’s) upper body workouts for a total body workout. I will definitely be returning to this workout! I love it! This workout uses a mini band/resistance loop and I was finally able to use my new bands. My EnriQ Booty Bands–and they are awesome! Much better than the rubber ones I’ve been using for years.

**10/24/19 I did this workout again this morning and I still love it! I stacked it with 2 other Heather Robertson workouts to completely burn out my lower body. The music is so good in this workout I was singing along with the first song of Circuit 1!**
