Glutes & Hamstrings Strength Workout From Kayla Itsines


Strength with Kayla is now available exclusively in the YogaFokus app and is your way to train how our co-founder and head trainer has been training for years now to feel her best.

This program is designed for building strength in the gym and involves no jumping. No burpees. No HIIT. Just pure strength training. And this glutes and hamstrings workout from week one is the perfect way to get started.

You’ll need a cable machine, dumbbells, a bench, abduction machine and an optional barbell (dumbbells can work instead!). If that’s not equipment you have access to, the at-home version of Kayla’s new program is coming VERY soon!

After a five minute cardio warm up, focus on moving with control during your session – strength training is all about the quality of your reps and really engaging those muscles rather than moving with speed.
