A Quick & Easy Glute Warmup

Dan is back with another great video! Today he’s taking us through a quick glute warmup that will prepare you for any workout. This warmup will activate the glutes in only a few minutes!

Hip Raisers:

• Simple but often done incorrectly
• When lying down, externally rotate the hips
• Raise the arms to avoid using them for assistance
• Always hold and squeeze
• Don’t rest between reps
• To do the hip raises unilaterally, try placing a ball in the hip hinge of the resting leg

Banded Squat:

• Use a mini band
• There is no benefit to having the band placed above the knee versus below the knee so placement comes down to personal preference
• “break the band”
• The squats will externally rotate the hips
• Resist the valgus collapse

X-Band Walk:

• Try doing this barefoot to avoid rolling your feet
• Stay in a quarter squat
• Focus on little steps so the movement stays consistent

We’ll be back soon with more awesome videos!
