Every video i click on I'm finding that I have to go to another video because I discovered yet another issue with myself 😂

[smith]

For generations, the women in my family have terrible hip pain starting in their 60’s, eventually leading to the inability to walk very far. As I hit my 50’s, I realized it was the Glute, IT band, and core muscles that were causing my tight hip issues. With this video’s help, I pray I can be the first female in the family to avoid these problems, AND teach all the younger ones how to avoid the family hip problems!

i'm so happy to have finally found a fitness and mobility channel using recent research papers to prove their point. Thanks!

[myjhong]

I have a hip and knee replacement in the vey near future. So glad I found this channel! Can't wait to be able to work on my strength and balance again!

[lindamorella]

You're amazing, not trying to sell anything, just genuinely helpful, knowledgeable. Thank you 💙

[qnobcvc]

Thank You for your time !!! Looks like you did much research for this, the most I’ve seen actually!! Thanks again

[joanowens]

You're smart. No playing around or ego games. Just good help. Thank you.

[EvaAerobic.Fitness]

Thank you so much for this informative video! I truly appreciate the clear explanations and practical demonstrations provided. The step-by-step guidance on identifying and addressing tight hip flexors and weak glutes is incredibly valuable. I'm grateful for the insights shared, and I'm looking forward to implementing these techniques to improve my overall strength and mobility. Keep up the fantastic work!

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I just subscribed. I’m a massage therapist that works clinically to help people function and improve health, and I’m also a barefoot/zero point shoe wearer(so I look forward to other videos). I’ve had a period of high stress and lost some glute mass so I am looking into things like this.
This is a helpful video and, btw, great things and glutes you have there!

Thanks for the excellent video. First time watcher. ❤ These are some of the simplest, most effective exercises that can be done for mobility especially in aging people. Great content.

[beag]

Fully comprehensive information, great delivery, great guy, great videos. Thanks!

[Dunnooooo]

Your content is always great. No bullshit, no trying to bamboozle people with too much science - just simple functional explanations and exercises for common injuries and physical inhibitions. Great stuff!

[roxanneborgerding]

I am really lovin' this science-based steps to strong glutes video that you put out here. It's been super helpful! Could you advice on glute testing and strength building for senior fitness? Specifically, chair based. I have a group of seniors that are pretty active and could use some glute strengthening. From a chair.

Your videos are wonderful. Such great production. Came here because my hamstrings always cramp in bridge positions and I find it difficult to activate glutes. I have some new ideas now! Thank you!

[RoguePCU]

I'm a life-long fitness enthusiast (now 54) and considered to be in great shape. BUTT... my glutes are lagging - and nothing I do seems to help. Very stubborn body part, even after watching - and following the advice on seemingly every YouTube video about the subject. However, that was until I stumbled on THIS one. Finally... detailed, very specific info as to why glutes may not be activating - and how to actually test and fix them. Great job!

Thank you for this video, and Happy New Year! I just watched this video and one before it as the first of your videos I've seen. The previous video was for hamstring flexibility and had a link to this video.

I seem to have a strange combination of issues with hamstrings, glutes and hip flexors. I will be 60 this year and have always been able to touch my toes (and the floor as well) without any problems. This is mainly because I started in Martial Arts at 18, and once I had that flexibility, I have kept it all of these years.

I just tried your hip flexor flexibility test with my rear knee against the wall and I am not even close to being able to sit upright. Obviously that means my flexors are very tight.

One of your recommended exercises for glutes is the step-up, and you also mentioned stair climbing as an alternative. I have added stair climbing to my exercise routine (at least once a week) after my wife and I entered a stair climbing event last September.

It would seem my glutes have gotten stronger with 6 months of regular stair climbing, and being able to touch the floor makes it seem my hamstring flexibility is good as well. However, now I find my hip flexors are super tight, but this doesn't stop me from touching my toes. Should I start this routine (split squats and step-ups) anyway to loosen the flexors?

This is so, so cool! Loving your videos and super grateful for the excellent content and advice! 🙏❤🤩
