How I Use Bala Bangles to Build Strong Glutes: My 3-Day Fitness Routine

Updated: Sep 29

If you’ve ever seen those sleek, stylish wrist and ankle weights on Instagram, you’ve probably spotted Bala Bangles. They aren’t just cute accessories — they’re one of my favorite tools for glute activation and building a strong, sculpted lower body.

Glute training isn’t just about aesthetics. Strong glutes protect your lower back, support posture, and power up every step you take. The secret? Activating them properly before heavy lifts. That’s where my Bala Bangles routine comes in.

Why a Glute Activation with Bala Bangles Routine Matters


Most of us sit for hours every day, which can leave our glutes “asleep.” Jumping straight into squats or deadlifts without waking them up means other muscles (like your quads or lower back) take over. Bala Bangles add just the right amount of resistance to pre-lift movements — think kickbacks, side steps, and bridges — so your glutes fire up and stay engaged when you move into your main lifts.




My 3-Day Lower Body Fitness Bala Bangles Routine

Each of these sessions starts with 5–7 minutes of Bala-Bangle glute activation drills:

  • Side-lying leg lifts

  • Fire hydrants

  • Glute kickbacks

  • Standing abductions

Then I move into my main strength lifts, followed by cardio to keep stamina and endurance high.

✨ The Glow Factor


Here’s what I love most: Bala Bangles make activation feel intentional, almost meditative. The added resistance helps me connect with each muscle, and by the time I’m under the barbell, my glutes are on fire (in the best way). This routine leaves me strong, grounded, and glowing — inside and out.



If you’re curious about Bala Bangles, they’re more than just a trend. They’re a functional, stylish tool that can completely change how your body responds to training. Try layering them into your warm-ups, and watch how much stronger and more supported your lifts feel.
