Quick Glute Activation Circuit

Quick Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Maximus Activation Circuit using only a Fitloop (miniband) - great for home exercise programs!

(Clams, Side-lying leg raise with resisted extension, glute max activation with resisted abduction, bridge with abduction - side-stepping circuit could be added)

So on the bridge we should activate the glute before we move at all?

[manuelperea]

Hey doctor B2 do you have a video of the routine you talked about once the flute activation circuit is completed? You mentioned side stepping etc.

[alexsale]

nice and simple, good workout to take in a hotel room or travel with.
by the way i just got my NASM CPT last week, thanks for all the videos that helped me pass.

[thomass]

This literally could not have had better timing. I just discovered that I have weaker glute max and my adductor magnus and piriformis really take over when I squat and deadlift. Will definitely use this along with adductor magnus and piriformis stretch before squatting and deadlifting. Excellent video and thanks for uploading!

This is kinda good. What I need further clarification is why do we need the wall for with this routine? Sending the leg back would be a problem.... or how do we check proper alignment?

[nassibbb]

Dear dr. Brent. Thanks for the great video. It looks like this circuit is similar to those used in a gluteal thendynopathy rehab. Would you recommend using this routine in such situation? Thanks

[lifelike]

its really good one  iam personal trainer from korea
i ve been thinking that i need to work on glute and i watched urs and do this feels really good thanx

[JayWadeOnline]

Would you complete both sides for each exercise before moving onto the next exercise of the circuit? or complete the circuit for the right glute, then repeat from beginning to do left?

[annelohuis]

Hi brent!

Thnx for such a Quick reaction! I'm gonna try these. I want to build more muscles and gain weight. I Find it hard to activate my glutes during excersises such as the hip thrust and cable kickbacks. I hardly feel the burn. It is especially the case with my right glute..

[majdhawash]

What's the difference between activation exercises and strengthening exercises?

[TC-byil]

Great video. I have a question.

If someone has an unilateral weakness, would you only do the activations on the weaker side? Would you do it on both, but fewer sets on the non affected side? Or an equal amount on both sides?

[moizsaleem]

Hey brent. I had a major accident 2 years back, broke both my femurs, My right leg has healed almost but whenever I put complete weight on left foot, hip drops of same side. Doctors say its week gluteus medius. I have been doing glutes exercises since last 3 months but cant see any significant difference. Your say?

[bernie]

Still my favorite activarion exercise to do and prescribe.

[joanofarcxxi]

Can I still do this as a standard glute exercise even though I don't have any active gluteus pathology?

[ABC]

Excellent video! Can I do these in the morning before I carry on with the rest of my day rather then before gym (After work)? Thanks

[Reethz]

Hi, what is the hip angle when doing clam exercise?

[davidribeirofisio]

Hello Brent,
Can i do the side lying leg raise like you do in this video, but staying away from the wall enough to be able to give 15 degrees of hip extension (heel on the wall) to activate the gluteus maximus, also with slight external rotation of the hip to activate the posterior fibers of the gluteus medius ?

Like a combination of what you do in this video and the video - gluteus medius isolated activation

Thank You
