How to activate the glutes - the most overlooked thing you MUST do

good choice of exercsies i can hardly do these but can do pilates all day. moving slower to get control. i have hip pain due to shortened psoas and labral tear

Just do 50 sit ups a day

I’ve been running very intensely for 5 years and I have extremely inactive trunk muscles so bad that my lats are affected. Should I do this and can this one hurt me? Thank you very helpful video!

Love this video. Will send to my grandson who loves to play baseball and plays on his high school varsity baseball team.
Tks for sharing!

Anyone else’s torso tremble intensely while doing the supine bug pose? Assuming this is just from having extremely week abdominals?
Thanks to these videos I have recently realized I have anterior pelvic tilt, rounded shoulders, and “dead” glutes. I’m a skinny, weak 30 y old female with constant upper and lower back pain. After getting referred to physical therapy for my clicking shoulder and back pain I’m realizing my ailments are probably all related and due to my improper posture. Any advice on where to start first? It’s kind of overwhelming realizing you aren’t standing or even walking right…

never would have thought I needed strong abs to activate my glutes?

1. For the first exercise are you rising with the exhale and dropping on the inhale or vice versa?

2. For the floor dead bug position, will your back be completely flat on the ground or should there be a tiny bit of space (pencil worth) between your lower back and the floor?

He isn’t creepy at all, he is very handsome 😊

Thank you. I’m on it x

That was a good video! Thanks

What about if you have femoral anteversion? How can you improve activation of the external rotators (mead and deep 6 etc) isn’t this exercise generally for glute max?

Thanks

Sounds like the first workout I needed as a beginner.
Question: My understanding is that we do the 1st exercise, build strength, then move to the 2nd exercise, and so on; correct?
Just did my first set of the 90/90 ... feels great!
I think I will start here ... and may even update my comment with the progress, in shaa Allaah (God willing).
[edit 7/25/23] First two routines were easy enough. Starting the 3rd routine and that is challenging. Cool.

FINALLY! I was trying to activate my glutes for months with a simple bridge as that’s what everyone advises but it just wasn’t working.
After gaining a lot of weight from pregnancy and then not moving much etc my glutes went completely flat over the past 10 years but after this video my butt awoke and it is twitching 😂 thank you 🙏

Just did these, fully aware of what has made my abs so weak , and which this hits perfectly to the point I had a slight tremor happening during the last couple reps, the culprit is SITTING, being in that position of 90 90 with zero effort has wreaked havoc on my body, thankyou school and work but the glutes are coming back

You should keep your neutral spine during these? Don't flatten your back into the ground right?

Can I do these with a herniated disc? Thank you for showing us!

The "dead bug roll" looks like the Army's famous "dying cockroach" maneuver from the parachute course at Fort Benning, I saw them put the poor guys' helmet on one of his feet and leave them like that for a long time. If they caught you laughing you were the next dying roach.

Excellent workout!

Okay I just want to give some constructive criticism cuz I really like this video. If you're going to show people how to move on a dark surface and you're wearing the same color on the bottom as you are on the top and the rest of your environment is that same color in this case black it's going to be very hard to perceive and see the details of those movements they trying to display.

This is amazing! Thank you. I this is exactly what I needed. Thank you again!

You are Brilliant! I have MS and have gone to so many MS Physio classes but NO ONE has made this connection with the trunk. My right ride is the "Involved" (Weak) side. My waist has lost tone and my hamstrings have followed. I will give this sequence of exercise a dedicated daily routine and report back. Thank you!

Is it possible to do this with anterior pelvic tilt?

What about glutes which stay “gripping”/tight and don’t relax?

Since proper core activation is needed to engage the glutes properly.

How does one work unravel and relax the glutes so they are not tense 24/7 ?
Lacrosse ball rolling?

How to avoid activating hip flexor in this exercise?

Excellent

What does it mean if I feels tension through my neck? Or what can I do to refocus it back to the core

I luv how slow and purposeful these movements are

i dont understand first exercise :/

GREAT EXERCISES,LOOKS EASY BUT HELPS ALOT!!

these do absolutely nothing for my glutes..

I like the bench version. Pretty challenging.

Great tips, thank you. Different options than the other channels is refreshing.

how do you do the first one?!

You totally right ✓

top trick? but I'm a bottom

This is brilliant. How in all my years has no one else shown me this? Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you for mentioning the importance of engaging the abs. I have been doing the reverse leg raise for some time and don't know why the lower back always kicks in. Good to learn this before my lower back hurts.

Do theses exercises stress the pelvic floor muscles? For how many days should I perform first exercise before starting the second exercise? Should I do them every day or twice a week?

Excellent! Thank you!

I've got one small glute leg muscles and it's thrown my whole body off, my right hip the weaker one is rotated forward nd I just can't activate glutes no matter what I try, like they shake when I contract

How did one leg get so big nd one so small

Happy to say. This works!!! I also feel it in my abs. This is an important weapon in my workout arsenal. Thanks so much. Liked and Subscribed.

So for glut activations.. Do I do it before I do my booty exercises I'm tryin to grow my left cheek

I thought my ab muscles were strong - guess not! These were more difficult than I thought. So grateful for your excellent descriptions and videos!

Thank you for this. Are you a younger brother of Matt?

Damn, of course when I decided to look up how to activate my glutes, I see another Asian dude with my same name nicknamed "Creepy Vincent." 😂 Great video though!

You are creepy
