Glute activation 101 . First things first: focus on the exercises that allow you to feel your glutes the most - for me, it’s the exercises I’m showing (with or without a resistance band) you BUT don’t hesitate to try different ones until you find what works for you. Credit @zoehappyfit . Second of all, I’ll be honest, I don’t do always do it now 😬 because I’ve learnt how to activate and engage my glutes and I’m training my glutes 3 times a week so they always feel strong and engaged 😂😝 BUT if you struggle to feel your glutes when you’re training, then you should definitely try it ⁉️ WHAT IT IS ⁉️ Basically, glute activation's purpose is to wake up your glutes so they can work properly, without having other muscles compensating (like your quads or hamstrings or lower back for example) ⁉️ WHEN YOU SHOULD DO IT ⁉️ In the context of lower body training, it should be done at the beginning of your session, to ensure that your glutes are firing up and doing their job! ⁉️ WHO IT IS FOR ⁉️ Everyone! You probably heard about glute activation only in the context of building a booty but this is absolutely not only for weight lifters 😉 Even runners for example need strong, firing glutes! And given that most people underuse their glutes, doing these glute activation moves can help as having weak glutes can cause knee, back, hip or ankle pain. This is especially true for people who spend most of their day sitting at a desk or at home at the moment 😬😆 --- https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XniVzgxC4/?igshid=1d1aa7iyq5tqb
