Stop ignoring this muscle… The Glute Medius is often the weakest muscle in your lower body. The thing is…we THINK we’re doing a ton of exercises to work this muscle and target it at times. But all too often we’re doing the “right” moves and compensating because of previous injuries and tight hip flexors from sitting for most of the day. We’re letting our TFL, a hip flexor, or our piriformis, a butt muscle that turns the hip out and open, take over for the glute medius. And this not only doesn’t help us build stronger glutes, but perpetuates the aches and pains and injuries FURTHER. So all of that hard work we’re putting in to correct the problem is actually making it worse. That’s why I want to break down how to actually make sure your glute medius is working and form tweaks to 2 basic glute medius moves I see people doing all of the time and not truly benefiting from. I’ll also share a few bonus prehab tips to help you get more out of your glute activation exercises in general!
