Glute work

Targeting the gluteal group (maximus, medius, minimus). Focusing on the gluteus maximus helps lift and strengthen the seat, and targeting the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus helps activate the hip’s stabilization muscles.

General Guidelines

Lights should be dimmed when clients are on their backs.

Example Talking Points

"Squeeze into the base of your seat."
"Think about contracting the muscle and then releasing the contraction."
"Increasing glute strength improves your postural muscles and functional movement (sitting, standing, walking, running, etc.)."
"Make sure hamstrings don’t try to take over."
"Bring hand to your seat to find a deeper connection to your glutes."
"I want to see your glutes contracting as you squeeze."
