She Never Felt Her Glutes Activate UNTIL

Shout out @workoutwithgina for the opening stitched video, @mirabai_chanu for bringing my model athlete, @muscleandmotion for the anatomy graphics & @andrew_lock_strength for the first exercise!

As someone who previously never felt it in my glutes (only quads), I had a physical therapist tell me to put more of my weight in my heels, and it really made a big difference!! I’m a chronic toe-walker and former dancer, so my natural inclination is to have my weight on the balls of my feet. Shifting my weight back a little bit did the trick for me!

I love this man, every question and concern I have for the gym, and my well-being is answered by him.

I always feel it in my glutes unfortunately I’m the most caked up guy in the gym and now all the women ask me how I build my butt. So annoying

[roomgrowrose]

I’m one of those people. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and I didn’t know until I was in my 40s and did a walking retreat where we hiked foothills every day for 7-10 miles. I couldn’t keep up at all!?? I was always so far behind?!! I couldn’t figure it out until one of the guides told me, “you may not be activating your glutes”. I have to consciously use my glute when I walk or hike. Incredible

Dude I absolutely love you. The knowledge you drop OMG

Thank you, this is incredible. I have flat feet and gained 64lbs after moving to Texas. I used to walk everywhere but became VERY sedentary. Pain caused by joint and alignment issues ensued. I couldn’t even relax on the couch because everything hurt. My right side was way more developed than my right…my back would give out all the time, my shoulder muscles were too weak to hold my right shoulder blade down which made building upper body strength difficult. Forget bending down, my knees were extremely painful. I was 29 and couldn’t get up stairs by myself. Anyway, I’ve lost about 40lbs so far and I’m building muscle with calisthenics. The pain reduction is mind blowing! 😁 But I still have a hard time activating my left side, and my glutes are the last hold out! I found this video and let me tell you it WORKED. Glutes are on fire, even the left! Adding it to my regular schedule. Here’s hoping it balances me out 🤞🏾

When I see some of these exercises, such as the band one where you squat and THEN open the leg out and close again, I find myself thinking ‘genius!’ It’s so simple and targets the weak muscle so well

[pamvancleave]

Sorry had to come back to let you know the one side that wasnt firing was so uncontrollable with no muscle control and i could feel this within ten moves! This is just incredible!!!! Thanks yall ROCK!

[logyross]

I'm starting to feel like "goblet squats with loop band" is the solution to every athletic problem 😂

[gyevideotube]

It really works! I do these with my personal trainer and for the first time in my life as an adult now I have glutes, baby!! 🍑 🙌🏻

[haru-sama]

It's good to see Gina! Been following her for many years now. Love the woman. ❤

[roseeze]

Thank God for social media. So many knowledgeable people giving great info

[robindonnelly]

Dead butt syndrome. I have it and will try these. Thank you!

[evanchiba]

I didn’t feel it in my glutes my whole life until I did ankle and knee stability exercises

[Meillz]

“Until your belly button touches the floor” : me being fat🧍🏾‍♀️

I’ll just lay on the side 🤣

❤ for Mirabai Chanu from beautiful northeast of India 🇮🇳

This might be the best YouTube channel I’ve found on YouTube lol I’ve never heard of most of these exercises but I can’t wait to incorporate them into my daily routine, turning 40 this year and trying to get my body in shape so I’m not hurting all the time 😅

[MsOctober]

Glad I found this page!!! I do 10 squats every hour at work and it’s helping but not fast enough 😂

Sensation doesn't tell you everything. Lengthened movements do not produce the same type of burn that shortened movements (like clamshells) do or other shortened movements like hip thrusts. If your form is good and youre performing the movement correctly then your glutes are working whether you feel them or not. And youll often feel them the next day.

That being said, I never felt my glutes much in lengthened movements until I used a belt squat machine which gave me a ton of stability and allowed me to just sit back into a squat without having to hold any weight on my back. More stability will allow you feel your glutes more if that's what youre after
