Strengthens the core and glutes while avoiding squats and lunges.
Strengthen your core and fire up your glutes with this 20 Min No Squats, No Lunges CORE and GLUTES Kettlebell Workout. This focused session skips traditional squats and lunges while still giving your lower body and midsection a serious strength challenge. Using two kettlebells, we’ll target the glutes, hips, hamstrings, abs, obliques and deep core muscles through controlled, purposeful movements. It’s a great option when you want to train your core and glutes differently without relying on the usual squat-and-lunge combinations. I’m using: - 2 x 8 kg kettlebells - Approximately 17.6 lb per kettlebell Choose weights that match your level and allow you to maintain strong, controlled form. You can use lighter kettlebells, dumbbells or a single weight when needed. This workout is ideal if you want: - A 20 minute core and glutes workout - A no squats, no lunges workout - An effective kettlebell workout at home - Stronger glutes, hips and core - A short strength session using minimal equipment - A different way to train your lower body This workout does not include a warm-up or cooldown. Take a few minutes to prepare your hips, glutes, hamstrings and core before starting, then finish with gentle stretching or mobility work. Grab your kettlebells and get ready for 20 focused minutes of core and glute strength.
