20-Minute Glute Workout at Home with Kettlebell

  • 20 min
  • 5 moves × 3 rounds
  • Kettlebell
  • Intermediate

This 20-minute glute workout isolates and strengthens the glutes from every angle to lift, shape and support your hips. It opens with a short warm-up, moves into a 5-exercise circuit you repeat 3 times, and finishes with a cool-down stretch.

Hit start and the built-in timer calls out every exercise and rest, so you never have to look at a clock. Switch the level below to make it easier or harder.

FAQ

Is a 20-minute glute workout enough?

Yes. 20 focused minutes with minimal rest is a complete session. Consistency matters more than length: doing this regularly beats an occasional long workout.

How often should I do this glute workout?

Aim for 2 to 4 times a week on non-consecutive days. Increase the level once the current one feels easy.

Can beginners do this workout?

Yes. The beginner version uses easier exercise variations and longer rest. Move at your own pace, and keep good form over speed. Pause the timer whenever you need to.

Do I need any equipment?

A single kettlebell. Most people start with 8–12 kg (18–26 lb) for swings and squats, and some moves use bodyweight only.
