So what can we do to strengthen and activate our glutes?
Your glutes are a very important muscle in your body, especially for walking, running, lower back and hip stability. Having glutes that activate correctly is vital in overall body well-being. Poor glute strength and activation can lead to lower back and hip pain, especially if you are a runner.
Simone Richter our Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor demonstrates in the video below some Pilates exercises that can help build the strength in your glutes
