The Real Reason your GLUTES are WEAK! Follow Along Exercise Program Fix! Your hip flexors are a group of muscles found deep at the front of your hips, attaching your spine to your thigh bones.

They work to bend your hips and help lift up your legs when you move around.
If you spend a lot of time sitting during your day - commuting to and from work, sitting at a desk and then collapsing on the sofa at home - your hip joints are bent for most of the day. This means that the muscles at the front of your hips are held in a shortened position and without the stimulus of standing and moving your hips regularly, your body assumes that you only need a limited amount of hip movement and adjusts the length of the muscles around them accordingly.
Having tight hip flexors also goes hand in hand with weak buttock muscles (glutes) as sitting compresses your glutes and prevents them from working properly too. Over time, these muscles become weaker through lack of use and having weak glutes is connected with a host of physical problems and altered performance which I’ll expand on in my next blog.
First off, stretching the hip flexor over and over is a complete waste of time, especially if the tightness is a symptom of something else going on in your body. Stretching the hip flexor over and over is a complete waste of time. Hip tightness is often a symptom, not the root cause
So if tight hips isn’t the problem, what is?
More often than not, my clients experience chronic hip tightness because of a lack of core stability, weak glutes and/or some wonky position of the pelvis.
Join me with this lovely routine Pilates Yoga and Physical Therapy strengthening your glutes, core, lumbar spine as well as engaging the tight and weak hip flexors through movement patterns not focus on stretching only, but to improve the stabilization of your lumbo-pelvic region.
You’re not properly activating or using your glutes… at all. Your glutes have two major jobs: to stabilize the hips and extend the hips for power. Due to the charms of 21st-century living, your daily life probably doesn’t sufficiently challenge either. So if you’re not doing any strength work to challenge or improve both hip stability and hip extension on a regular basis then they won’t fire very efficiently to handle the demands of triathlon.
So what activates the glutes? Here are a few of my favorite strength exercises that challenge both stability and extension in different positions from supine, side lying and prone! and once you strengthen these muscles your tight Hip flexors will be elongated during functional activities. So stretching your Hip flexors only is a waste of TIME! you need balance your overall posture neuromuscular pathways.
Do you want to start living a life of being active again without fear of hurting yourself in order to achieve a stronger core, improve posture and Regain life without back pain
