Fitness icon Lena Perminova has once again lifted the curtain on her signature workout routine, and fans of toned glutes and slim legs are loving it!
The Russian beauty, known for her fit physique and fashion-forward lifestyle, believes that a workout should target the right muscles – especially if you’re aiming for firm glutes without adding unnecessary volume to your legs.
“My golden rule is: grow the booty, not the legs. I’ve tested tons of exercises since I was 20, and now I know exactly what works for me—and what doesn’t.”
No Heavy Squats, No Bulky Thighs
Lena avoids classic deep squats and compound leg-focused moves that, in her experience, only make the legs bulkier. Instead, she’s all about isolated glute exercises with proper technique – something she mastered after nearly a year of working one-on-one with a trainer.
Her advice? “Don’t train like a bodybuilder unless that’s your goal. For us girls, shape and balance matter more than muscle size.”
Lena’s Must-Do Glute Routine:
Here’s Lena’s go-to exercise base that she includes in every single workout:
-
Dumbbell Deadlifts – 20 kg
-
Romanian Deadlifts – 35 kg
-
Hip Thrusts – 80 kg
-
Weighted Lunges – 10 kg in each hand, 12–15 reps per leg
And yes – weights are essential, but not in excess. She focuses on control and form rather than maxing out.
Her Key Message:
“An effective workout doesn’t have to leave you exhausted. The secret is in the right moves, perfect form, and consistency.”
With her disciplined approach, Lena inspires women who want to enhance their shape without overdeveloping their legs. And while the results take time, she believes every drop of sweat is worth it.
