Glutes + Outer Hips Resistance Band Mini Flows Class

Glutes + Outer Hips Resistance Band Mini Flows Class (43 Mins) - A low-impact, joint-friendly class using a resistance band loop that focuses on glutes and outer hips. Mix of mat work and standing balance work. #resistanceband #homeworkout #workoutclass #fitness

I’m so excited about the workout videos I released on Patreon this month! Heavily influenced by my Pilates training, I created a series of resistance band workouts that focus in on various joints and muscle groups. In addition to this glutes + outer hips resistance band class, I have another one on Patreon focusing in on the hip joint and activating the glutes. Also one focused on shoulders and mid back, and one on core.

Glutes + Outer Hips Resistance Band Mini Flows Class (43 Mins)

EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR CLASS:

  • Resistance band loop – I’m using the heavy weight from my set for Flow 1 and the lightest band for Flows 2 & 3
  • Chair/stool/counter/wall (something to use for balance assistance in a standing, hinged position)

In this class, we start with a quick warm up. It will focus mostly on mobility, especially through the hips. We then move onto our mini flows workout with the resistance band. The best way to describe this structure is to picture a Pilates mat class. We essentially take a small sequence out of that class, add in a resistance band, and turn it into a circuit.

Each of the three mini flows is a short sequence (1 min 45 sec – 2.5 minutes long). You’ll do it twice on the right then twice on the left. You rest for 15 seconds in between completed sequences and 30 seconds between sides. We’ll start on the mat and finish standing.

Between each of the different flows, you get about a minute to recover, but pause the video and take more time if needed. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.

We finish class with a guided cool down and stretch.
