Hi
I've been working on glute strengthening exercises. A PT at the gym told me it was better for me to start with these rather than jumping straight onto a treadmill etc. Especially as I have bad asthma.
However due to funds I don't go to the gym now and I do my current routine below at home. Can anyone advise on advancing what I do?
Current work out:
-Squats x 10
-High step ups x 5 with left leg leading, 5 with right
-Squats with 5kg bar weight lift ups x 10
-Negative press ups x 5
Do the circuit 3 times going faster each time.

What can I advance to next?

Thanks

    I don't know what your goal is, but for general strengthening, follow any pro-designed program, like NROL, Stronglifts 5x5, etc.
    Some light cardio might be good to add too.

    Have a look at nerdfitness it has a good bodyweight programme that is free.
    It is quite straightforward and easy to build on.

    A strength program that has extra emphasis on the glutes: strong curves.

    Or try bodyweight:
    You are your own gym
    Convict conditioning
    Body by you
    Nerdfitness beginner bodyweight routine
    Strong curves (one 12 week bodyweight program in the book.)

    If you are working out at home and want to save money, google bodyweight routines. It is something that requires no equipment.
    As for not being able to run because of asthma, talk to your dr, this means your asthma is not properly treated. Or that you have been trying to run too fast, too soon.

    I bought strong curves and love it. Lots of details regarding how to do the exercises, what the exercise focuses on, good for any fitness level and how to vary the exercises depending on ability and availability of equipment. It's also laid out nicely so you can tweak the program to make it your own.
