Glute Workout – Part 1

Glute strength is very important. Without it your back, knees, and even your feet will have increased stress placed on them during the day. Strong glutes create a firm foundation for all other parts of your body to work off of. But activating your glutes properly is challenging.

If you do glute exercises but aren’t actually using your glutes to do the movements, you’re not only wasting your time, but reinforcing wrong muscle firing patterns.

Try these exercises and follow the cues to make sure you are feeling these glute exercises in the right area. Add reps once you have the form correct.

Once you’ve mastered these exercises you can add more challenging exercises to really build glute strength. Stay tuned for next week’s post!

Tips:

• You need to feel this exercise on the side/back of your hip. Just behind the bone on the side of your hip.
• Keep your top hip forward. Don’t let it roll back as you lift your leg.
• Pull your belly button in to engage your core.
• Push your bottom knee into the ground.
• Feel the burn!
