How to WAKE UP Your Glutes (DO THIS EVERY DAY)

re not going to want to miss. Here, I-m going to show you four glute exercises (only two of which you need to do) that can be done every day to help you build bigger, stronger glutes and that will have a byproduct of less hip and low back dysfunction. The key to glute exercises and their effectiveness is to be sure you-re working on the right ones. Far too often, when people try and do glute workouts they focus on exercises for glutes that are primarily using the glute max. Trust me, if you are doing squats, lunges, step ups, leg press, deadlifts, or any other sagittal plane dominant leg exercise your glute max is getting plenty of work already. The glute muscle that is almost always underdeveloped and weak however is the one we want to hit here. It-s called the glute medius. The functions of the glute max and glute medius are very different. While the maximus is an effective hip extender and slight external hip rotator, the medius has an incredibly strong capability of controlling the hip in the frontal plane through abduction and the transverse plane through hip rotation. Unless you are purposely putting exercises into your hip and glute workouts that engage the muscles through these motions you simply will not develop these muscles to their capacity. The result of not paying enough attention to the right muscles in the glutes goes way beyond just the aesthetic repercussions. The butt will not only look flat and potentially sagging but the internal hip stability and strength will be lacking which often times leads to injuries and weakness in the low back and hip muscles. So in order to get this right there are a few things we can do. The good thing is, everything I show you here can be done at any time during the day and without any equipment needed. The first two are performed on the floor. This is slightly inferior to the standing version but if you are a beginner it provides you with a better opportunity to engage the muscles and feel them contract. This is especially helpful for those whose glutes need to wake up having never really been stimulated through current every day activities. While laying on your side, point the toe on the top leg down towards the ground. Be sure to bring the leg in front of the body and keep it there the entire time. Now, lift the leg up towards the ceiling as high as you can. This is called hip abduction. Don-t worry about how many reps you can do, instead focus on getting a strong contraction in the hip and hold it for a brief second before proceeding into your next rep. Keep the quality high and stop when you cannot resist the burn any more. Next exercise, bring the leg behind the body and this time point the toe up towards the ceiling. Once again, lift the leg up as high as you can keeping the toe pointed up throughout. Stop when the burn is too much. You don-t need to do these any more than one set per day but make sure you stay consistent with it since this is where you-ll start to build the mind muscle connection needed to really see benefits. The last two exercises can be done as an alternative to the laying down versions, and these are done standing up. For the first one, as before, bring your leg in front of your body with the toe pointed down towards the ground. Swing the leg out to the side into hip abduction as far as you can go. Make sure to remember to drop the hip on the leg that is standing on the ground to get abduction on it as well, making this a perfect two-for-one glute exercise. Finally, with the leg slightly behind the body, point your toe to the sky and swing your leg up. Here, as you swing be sure to rotate your hips as shown to include closed chain hip external rotation as a component of the function of the glute medius you are trying to train. If you do these consistently I promise not only will you have a better, rounder looking butt and stronger glutes but your hips and low back will be healthier in the long run. If you-re looking for a complete program that overlooks nothing in your training and helps to create a well rounded, strong, ripped and athletic body be sure to visit athleanx. com via the link below and pick the program that is suited specially to your goals.

My chiropractor told me to watch your videos! I started walking two years ago at the age of 58. I noticed immediately that I had a -drunken- gait. I lose my balance and fall backwards when I squat. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, went through PT, but the drunken gait and balance issues remained. The blame-s been placed on my age (seriously, seizure meds, lack of exercise, spinal stenosis, brain surgeries, the wrong shoes (Brooks aren-t wrong, a stroke (10 years ago) etc. etc. etc.
So here I am, going after another possibility, weak glutes. I'm walking 4 miles daily at 3. 8 mph with 10- incline as well as recently begun 10-15 minutes of typical glute exercises and Bosu ball, 4-5 days a week.
If weak glutes are the problem, what's the realistic time frame I should expect to see even the tiniest difference?

Glute med has small tendon slack, small fiber length but huge PCSA which means is not an effective mover but are strong stabiliser due to high force production potential. So there are no glute med selective exercises as you cannot switch off the rest.
Work preferably hip ext then abd and/or combined and there you go.
I think that was bad selection for just growth. Good for post op though as early intro

This workouts may or may not work but just know that the before and after pics of the thumbnail is before and after Photoshop, not before and after the workout. Everything in both pics looks exactly the same except the booty and the color of the boxers. i truely don't understand why people keep advertising before and after pics using the SAME picture for both

I tried the lying leg lift exactly the way he did it. At the same point when he did the front, if you're doing these right, when you go to do the first one toe up, you'll know how what that first one feels like. These are legit.

Good shit bro- def felt them. I always wonder if I-m hitting my glutes when I squat because all the soreness I feel next couple days is always in my thighs. There-s no mistake that you feel these exactly where you want it.
