Complete Episode Guide
Kim Oddo and Laurie Vaniman bring together their expertise to deliver an intense and effective glute-focused workout that targets strength, stability, and lower-body definition. This thoughtfully designed session begins with the lying straight leg glute press, a foundational exercise that isolates the glutes, ensuring precise activation and promoting muscle strength. Following this is band side walking, which uses resistance bands to specifically target the glute medius, an essential muscle for hip stability, lateral strength, and overall balance. The third exercise, glute curls with a stability ball, combines strength training with core engagement, challenging balance and coordination while working the glutes and hamstrings in a controlled and effective manner. To wrap up, the session features stability ball leg lunging, a versatile compound movement that not only enhances lower-body strength but also improves mobility and flexibility, engaging key muscles like the glutes, quads, and hamstrings. This workout is a complete lower-body program, addressing both muscle growth and functional strength, making it ideal for anyone looking to tone and strengthen their glutes while enhancing overall stability and posture.
To pair with the rigorous training session, David Ellis, Alexis Ellis, and Tanya Dover present a chicken cobb salad, a nutritious and satisfying post-workout meal. This salad combines fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients like romaine lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and black olives, providing a range of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support overall health. The addition of chicken breast and hard-boiled eggs makes it a protein powerhouse, perfect for muscle repair and recovery after an intense workout. Avocado contributes healthy fats, which not only aid in nutrient absorption but also provide sustained energy to fuel the body. A light drizzle of honey and a carefully selected mix of seasonings elevate the flavors, creating a delicious and refreshing dish that’s as enjoyable as it is beneficial. Together, the glute workout and the chicken cobb salad create a balanced, results-driven approach to fitness and nutrition, ensuring your body is strengthened, nourished, and ready for continued progress.
