Key Takeaways
This training program is designed in such a way that every single muscle group is covered and none is neglected. It targets both the large and medium-sized gluteal muscles, as well as the two-headed and quadriceps thigh muscles with their inner and outer sides. And finally - we train the abdominal muscles briefly but intensely!

A 15-minute workout session
The workout is performed three times weekly, with at least one rest day in between. On non-training days, 25 to 35 minutes of aerobic activity is recommended, either as prescribed or as part of daily movement. All exercises should be performed consecutively without breaks (referred to as a full circuit), followed by a 30- to 60-second high-intensity sprint in place. Rest for 60 to 90 seconds, then repeat the circuit four to six times, adjusting repetitions based on fitness level. Begin with three to four circuits and gradually increase weekly. Apply the same progression to the sprint, starting at 30 seconds and extending to 60 seconds after several weeks.
Workout regimen
Exercise repetitions sets notes Burpees 8–12 3–6 If unable, perform half a crocodile without jumping. Narrow-stance squats 8–12 3–6 Feet parallel, leg muscles constantly engaged, avoiding knee relaxation. During ascent, strongly engage glutes. Alternating dynamic lunges 8–10/leg 3–6 Dynamic means quick, explosive lift-off. Weighted sumo squats 8–12 3–6 Use a 5-liter water bottle as weight, placed between legs. Bulgarian split squat 10/leg 3–6 Support should be at rear leg's knee height. Hip bridge 12–15 3–6 Hips must remain elevated, maintaining constant tension. For increased difficulty: perform single-leg hip bridge, keeping the other leg straight. Plank with rising 30–60 seconds 3–6 Alternate between forearms and palms every 30 seconds, sustaining hip and core tension.
Exercises – Detailed Description
Burpees, also known as crocodiles, are the most popular form of explosive exercises. They involve transitioning from a standing position to a squat, then to a push-up position, back to a squat, and finishing with a jump. The narrow squat requires muscle tension, emphasizing the glutes and thighs. Dynamic alternating lunges engage the lower body muscles, while the sumo squat with weight strengthens the glutes and hamstrings. The Bulgarian split and hip thrust improve strength and stability. The plank with standing variations intensifies core engagement. The workout is adaptable – advanced individuals can add weights or increase repetitions.
