Glute Lab: 15-min, 3 planes of motion, and deep core stability
Move
•
15m
We are seated more every day which doesn't lend to strengthening the our glutes or deep core stabilizing muscles. The results are obvious as more people experience knee pain and lack of mobility because their glutes aren't activating properly. This simple 15 minute sequence can be a warm-up, a morning wake-up or your workout. These exercises will work three planes of motion and strengthen the deep core muscles which help with posture and pain-free movement.
A reminder on the language you use with yourself. The "weak side, strong side" language is harmful for your mindset. I believe in "strong side, stronger side." As you work through this sequence, be mindful of your inner monologue. In between exercises, rely on your soft body and full breath to re-ground yourself.
For this sequence, you only need a loop resistance band. I train based on sensation so the reps in the video are suggested, but not a hard line. This trains you to listen to your body and tune into its needs.
