I worked out at a fitness center for 25 yesrs..the best glut exercise I've ever done is to lie on your stomach on a bench with your legs hanging over the end from your knees... bending your feet and calves down toward the floor as far and as comfortably as possible..take a deep breath ..raise your legs up until your glutes are tight...DON'T raise your head or arch your back...hold for as long as you can...slowly lower your legs slowly while breathing out through your mouth..do 10 reps then rest ..this sculpts and tightens your glutes..improves your posture and strengthens your legs....and it works..

You'd need to get an expert to give you a specific plan, based on your level and injury type. But I would say start with the basics, like in this video. Do them well, and once you can comfortable do sets in the 10-15 rep range, go to the next progression, for example, in this exercise you'd add an ankle weight. Get a physio or exercise therapist to identify your weak links, then work on them. You might not even be aware of them. I am quite fit, but realised I had weak rhomboids, which was limiting my pull ups and causing middle back ache - so I started working on them. Ditto for my hip flexors. If your injuries allow, I'd also recommend loads of walking.

Yes, progressive training you need. You can put on an Ankle weight, not too heavy. Make sure you don't arch yr lower back by doing a small pelvic tilt and hold it. Angage yr whole glute muscles at all times when doing the whole repetitions. Make sure you stretch those muscles after each sessions. Keep it up :)

My point, I've had several physical therapist and chiropractors down through the years and none of them introduced this particular technique. Now that I'm older, this is what I've needed. I just did one round of ten reps on each leg and oh my goodness...I feel how this will get me on my way to having strengthened glutes as well as lower back! Like you stated, that forward lean "does" make a difference. Thank you so much Will for sharing this. BTW, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Looking forward to more.

There are videos on the benefits of how it uncompresses your spine, and does other things. Cheers!

Isn’t it all exercise is good, just some might be more efficient 🤔

@joane24 Жыл бұрын

It's usually about the form, not the excercise itself. You can do almost any excercise with a bad form so it might even cause the opposite effect (a chief example here is many abdominal excercises that when done incorrectly work rather on hip flexors than abs muscles...). Form, control, and awareness of movement are most important.

Yes, please. Tell us what we can stop doing so we’ll have more time and energy to do the most efficient exercises

I don't even have to do this exercite and I am 100% true that it works. Back when I was a teen skinny was the trend I did them often in the atempt to lose weight make my glutes smaller. I was skinny with a big butt. I should start doing them again😂😂

@mysa.relind977 10 ай бұрын

Being skinny with a big 🍑 is my goal 😊 You sure should start doing them again 😅

After of Osteo arthritis in the knees, diagnosis, amongst other nasties in the knees, I started PT with a sports Physio. This is one of the first exercises he had me do. He has me doing a lot of glute exercises. Strong glutes take up the slack and support the knees. A nice upside. Is that in six weeks my bum looks amazing according to my husband.😆

do you remember all the glute exercises you had to do ? If so can you let me know the Name of them , so I can use them too. Thank you

@@debbiec6216 i’d have to go back in my notes, but when I do while I’m brushing my teeth, every night is standing on one leg, raising the other leg with the foot slightly out but relaxed tighten the glue muscle so you can feel that’s the muscle you’re working on, and do small raises up and down not letting your foot touch the ground. do on one side until you feel fatigued then switch legs. It’s most critical to feel the gluteus maximus, the muscle you’re working on. People get sloppy and get no results and wonder why.

I took a break from the computer to try this. Indeed, it was hard at first to get chest-slightly-forward, leg-lift-slightly-to-the-rear coordinated properly. But when I got it right, I immediately felt it work my (almost nonexistent) Glutes, as described here. I'm not sure I positioned my feet correctly, but that will hopefully come as I get more used to the exercise. I couldn't raise either leg as high as is shown here, but then I've not done this sort of exercise since Nov 2008.

Thank you. I had quite forgotten. I used to do this exercise. Actually, a few different times in my life but I got tired of people making fun of me for doing it and I stopped, every time. When I was younger and walked everywhere it wasn't such a big deal, but I think I really need it now and I had forgotten it, altogether.

Love this, and it really helps to keep core engaged and almost squeeze pelvis forward into posterior tilt at the end of each rep to get the most bang for your buck, and to avoid hurting your back like I do when pushing my leg back unless I actively avoid it 😊

@wren1114 11 ай бұрын

3 sets 8-15 reps 6wks. If easy, use a yellow band loop, placed on ankles -lay on side, on flat surface, place hand in front of chest on surface for support, straight legs pencil shape, tip hips forward, raise one leg, heel pointed, leg up and back behind alittle, lower leg, return to start. Feel gluteus work at mostly top of tush and lower tush, as well. Do slowly w/good form & posture. 3 sets, 8-15 reps, do each set ‘til muscle tires. 5 min. 2-3x week. Strengthen glutes to support knees, back.

I used to do weight training for around 20 years until my back gave out (turns out I had a weakness from birth with lots of fused sections). I can testify that strong glutes are extremely important in any back related work and since not been able to do any real training now even with numerous workarounds that my overall ability to do ordinary stuff is going to be based around glute strength.

@jacvanderspuy5618 9 ай бұрын

Thank you so much. I've been doing this standing up straight. I find it easier to keep my body in a straight line. I do feel the burning in my gluetes so I assume it has the same value.
