Your glutes didn’t accidentally ghost you… you just haven’t been speaking their language.
Today’s lesson: slow down, feel it, and stop rushing like you’re late for Starbucks.
Workout:
4 sets each • 8–12 reps
• Hip Thrust
• Squat
• Step Down
• Somersault Squat
• Glute-Focused Hyper Extension
• Bulgarian Split Squat (yes… we saved the attitude adjuster for last)
If you’re just moving the weight, congrats… your quads and lower back are having a party your glutes weren’t invited to.
We’re after mind-muscle connection here.
That means:
• Control the rep
• Feel the burn where it’s supposed to be
• Push close enough to failure that you question your life choices (in a healthy, character-building way)
Coach Alicia makes it look cute… it’s not. It’s focused, intentional, and just a little bit savage.
Real talk:
This is how you actually build strength, shape, and confidence.
Not random workouts. Not guessing. Not quitting when it gets uncomfortable.

Fun night at our Thrive party
📚 Thrive Reads is officially a thing.
A very low-pressure, very casual book club for humans who like ideas, conversations, and occasionally a glass of something that isn’t a protein shake. The Thursday Murder Club will be our first book. Go grab a copy or audio book version.
Here’s how it works because we refuse to overcomplicate this:
• Pick up the book
• Read at your own pace
• We meet in 3–4 weeks to talk about it
• Wine or cocktails may or may not make an appearance
• You don’t even have to finish the book
• You don’t have to be a Thrive member
• You just have to be a person
Come for the discussion. Stay for the vibes. Leave smarter or at least entertained.
