30-Minute Glutes at Home
Building strength in your glutes can help alleviate discomfort in your hips. Hips and shoulders are both ball and socket joints that can leave us debilitated if we get an injury. As it is a complex joint, it can be difficult to know what the injury is and where it is coming from. Keeping the muscles balanced by stretching tight areas and making sure we are building muscle in the weak areas to support the joint are key.
Your glutes are made up of three major muscles: the gluteus maximus (the main, large muscle that shapes your backside), the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus. Many people sit down while at work or for long stretches of time when they get home, this can lead to weak glutes.
Here's a 30-minute glute burner you can do at home to activate those glutes, build strength and promote hip health!
