Stronger glutes help to support healthy hips, knees and back ✅ But most of the exercises shown are either done on the floor or in a kneeling position. As a physical therapist who specializes in helping patients with arthritis, these exercises aren't always the most comfortable. Instead, in this video, Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist demonstrates 3 glute strengthening exercises done in standing. Loop resistance band link: https://amzn.to/48MdBli Fabric loop resistance band link: https://amzn.to/4b5X11Z Link to join Adventurers for Life: https://keeptheadventurealive.com/start Glute muscle (or butt muscle) weakness can make activities like climbing stairs, walking fast and far and getting up from the floor really difficult. This is why keeping the muscles strong is incredibly important. In order to best strengthen the glutes, you can use external resistance like loop resistance bands. Including different directions of movement such as sideways and backwards is extremely helpful too. If you have knee arthritis, hip arthritis, degenerative disc disease and/or low back pain- these glute strengthening exercises can be powerful for you in terms of providing joint support and reducing pain.
