Before performing any movement whether that would be a golf swing, throwing a punch in boxing, a 150kg back squat or even something as simple as going for a run/walk, we must make sure you know how align yourself in the best way possible to be able to get the most out of the movement, starting with the pelvis and importance of glute activation. When the pelvis is in neutral for you, you are able to properly activate the glutes. UNDERSTANDING THE PELVIS:
HOW TO FIND YOUR PELVIC NEUTRAL POSITION FOR MAXIMUM GLUTE ACTIVATION:
WHAT ARE THE ‘GLUTES’?
CAUSES OF WEAK GLUTES?
WHY IS GLUTE ACTIVATION AND STRENGTH SO IMPORTANT?
GLUTE ACTIVATION EXERCISES:
GLUTE STRENGTH EXERCISES:
There is not one exercise that will build your glutes. You will need to perform a variety of glute exercises that target different parts of the glutes. You must include this new awareness of glute activation and pelvic position. Activation of glutes and core will ensure an increase in strength and decrease risk of injury when performing strengthening exercises.
