Yoga for CORE and GLUTES activation.
14th December 2024
Are you interested in building glute strength? Want a firm "yoga" butt? Or maybe you’re interested in preventing knee pain/injury, lower-back pain, or improving your physical performance?
Whatever the reason, understanding the importance of your glutes, along with the right exercises for building glute strength, are sure to help you. I’m going to walk you through all of that and much more on this glute-strengthening
How Are Your Glutes, Core, and Spine Related?
Your glutes and core work synergistically to support your spine.
Your glutes are the largest muscles of your hips, and these connect to your lower-back.
Your core (abdominal muscles) is the antagonist muscle group to your lumbar paraspinals (erector spinae), which are the muscles located on either side of your lower spine.
If you don’t have adequate core strength or glute strength, it’s a double whammy for your lower-back.
It means that when you do an exercise that’s supposed to use your hips, core, and lower-back (any movement involving a squat or hinge movement – such as a squat, deadlift, or chair pose), then the lower-back will be forced to do all of the work. This often results in preventable lower-back pain or injuries.
Bottom line: Protect your spine – strengthen your glutes and core and LEARN HOW TO work your body muscles properly by joining in my workshop
