Glute Workout From Stephanie Sanzo
Equipment needed: one dumbbell, mini resistance band, and a bench, chair, or couch.
Directions: Before beginning the workout, be sure to do a five-minute warmup. For this workout, complete the appropriate number of sets based on your fitness level: beginner complete three sets, intermediate complete four sets, and advanced complete five sets.

Repeat superset one three times, rest, and then move on to superset two. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds after each superset. After the workout, do a five-minute cooldown.
