You Can't Activate Your Glutes Without THIS! (warning: highly effective)

Did a run this morning, tried putting more weight through the big toe. Felt like a stronger run 🎉

People with APT obviously have issues with balance and toe and this is also because of the tight pelvis and the position. Complicated :( Great content as always.

Cara, você fala demais! Ninguém aqui quer aula de anatomia e sim que se mostre como atingir os resultados!

I wonder how orthopedic insoles will hinder or help this considering they fill the arch of the foot ?

What if you have bunions?

I'm a massage therapist. I have been watching videos about PRI and gate cycles for about two or three weeks now. You're the first person that has explained about the big toe. It had been mentioned but it really didn't go into depth. Thank you!

Conor I feel as though I have been walking without hitting my big toe for several years due to this, can a PT help me with this or do I need to remove this bunion? Thank you so much:-)!

So we should not do full glute bridge?

How can I activate my gluteus maximus if I have a bunion? IT is important to me because I swim and cannot improve my kick without strong and active gluteus maximus

Well lm screwed..had bunion surgery on both feet..now my big toes don’t touch the floor..need glute work for sciatica ..what to do…🇨🇦

Great clear explanation, I’m training to improve my 5km running times to below 27 minutes as a 58 year old male.
I’ve been focusing on improving my hip flexibility and strength with 20 minutes of stretching before and after my runs. This really makes so much sense

So if there is a lack of big toe function, and thus hip internal rotation, would that be a recipe for knee injury or pain?

Great information

Omg. I wasn't even looking for this and this is my issue. Thank you much. 😢😢😢 wow.

Unfortunately after a hip replacement the big toe on the other side lost mobility. Thus my balance on that side is shot. Leading to a fall in which 3 ribs fractured. And my ankle is now compromised. It there any way I can shift this?

You just woke up my big toe. It thanks you.

I was wondering how my beginner ballet lessons helped my glute activation so much. Now i understand it probably has something to do with the emphasis on the big toes in dance moves.

Valuable information! Thank you

My glutes are so highly developed that gas actually has trouble escaping from my butt cheeks. As silly as it sounds it is 100% non- bs. I’m dead serious, the sound resonates as the trapped gas travels through muscle mass.

Thank you very much for the very helpful material that’s helping me a lot.

Does the split squat have to be weight

Interesting. I think I have been walking on the outsides of my feet for a very long time. Since a hamstring injury several months ago I have been trying to "learn to walk" again and trying to get a comfortable gait.It's weird having to think about walking :) I'll start putting my big toe into the mix. Thanks again.

I wow, I have seen lots of information about glutes. And never seen this. Thank you

When doing a deadlift I was instructed to stay on my heels, so my glutes don't work and im not progressing. Is this correct?

I know you probably get this everday but holy cow, almost everytime i watch your videos i learn so much about the body, even just learning about it like this i feel like my mind muscle connections skyrocket through these motions
Much appreciated sir

Quit the constant click bait titles. It's a bullshit practice and a total turn off

Genius !!

I have a question in regards to how this works with the screw home mechanism of the knee. From my understanding during closed chain movements the femur internally rotates to get full knee extension. But from what you are saying the femur should externally rotate at the top of the squat to get glutes engaged. Wouldn't that go against the mechanics of the knee? Could you explain the mechanics of this and how that works? Thank you!

Thank you 🙏

Actually, there are two things Nadal can't live without. First, his hair, and second, a life without pulling his knickers out of his ass.

Great stuff...every1,. Teaches.. evry1!

Boring. Get to the point quicker,

wait everything I have read about from and function is heel striking is not good, too much shock and concussion. We should be landing more flatter on foot or more forward.

Conor great job! I have particularly high arches so this really hit home for me!

What if you have hallux valgus on one foot due to an Achilles tear? That big toe drifts medial on me. I’ve been trying to wear Vibram 5 fingers to address this. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks!

I prefer gluten free foods. Hope I am not making a mistake.

Very good

Please sir,Explain in Hindi or English subtitles

In exercise 1 i think u get more of the glutes if the knee doesnt bend over toes right? If the knees r going over toes u have more q triceps acriviation i think. Very nice videos nice xplanation

I have never,ever been told this about how important our big toe really is,not iven from my physiotherapy..,i am just so thankful for what you are teaching🙏💞

This is so helpful. Thank you.

Excellent guide: slow, and you demonstrate in a follow-along progression how to activate and have a relationship with the movements in our bodies. That’s giving us back our power!

I’d love to see a video on the rear foot elevated split squat (and your explanation of the position of the rear foot related to femur length and glute activation).

Tried keeping my big tow down and “wah lah” - I could feel external rotation happening conscientiously for the first time

Super confusing

Dude you are talking way over your audience
I have a Master of Science degree and you completely lost me with internal and external rotations

Had never heard of this before ... thank you!

Is there a specific shoe design or style that will promote this e.g. a rocker style shoe. Thanks

where have you been all my life? This is exactly what I've needed and so clearly explained!
