Your glutes are amongst the strongest, most powerful muscles in your body and arguably the most useful muscles in helping us to run, jump, twist and turn and improve our athletic performance.
So why are the glutes so under trained, deconditioned, and lacking in strength in so many of my clients?
Why bother strengthening your glutes?
Having strong glutes will influence correct alignment of your pelvis, helping to reduce lower back pain, groin pain and even knee pain.
Correct pelvis positioning from strong glutes will also maintain good knee alignment when you need it most; during those dynamic movements like jump squats in the gym, or side steps on the sports field.
How should you strengthen your glutes?
There are many different effective ways to strengthen your gluteal complex, but if I could give you one single exercise to do to strengthen your glutes and hamstrings, this would be it.
