Gluteus

Many people have weak glute muscles. In fact, weak, imbalanced, and under-activated glute muscles are among the most common causes of pain, injury, and poor mobility. The main culprit is a reality of modern living: we sit too much and end up with weak glutes and tight hips.

Weak glutes are also responsible for the majority of knee & ankle injuries, as well as lower back pain.

The gluteus muscles are located in the hip and pelvic region of the body. In this lesson, learn about the definition, location, and function of the gluteus minimus muscle.

Lateral tube walks are great as are hip bridges, deadlifts, kneeling donkey-kicks & Fire-hydrants, standing side leg lifts and rear alternating transverse lunges (like ice-skaters).

Why Focus on Posterior Chain Workouts?

Most of people sit at least 6-8 hours per day. This leads to a more dormant posterior chain and poor posture. The posterior chain refers to the entire backside of the body, which means both upper and lower body muscles are included.

The longer sitting throughout the day, the tighter your hip flexors become. And the glutes lose their strength and become inactive. Tight hip flexors and inactive glutes can be fixed by building a strong posterior chain

Exercises like the deadlift, kettlebell swing, and glute bridge are just a few effective options to add to your posterior chain exercise roster. Let’s take a closer look at how a posterior chain workout should be executed for optimal results.

Change Body as Fat Burning Machine

For higher-intensity exercises, such as fast-paced running, the body will rely more on carbs for fuel than fat. That’s because the metabolic pathways available to break down carbs for energy are more efficient than the pathways available for fat breakdown. For long, slower exercise, fat is used more for energy than carbs. …….

Excessive Sitting – Hip Flexors

Sitting for a long time one of the reason for weak or tight Hip Flexors. Hip flexor tightness can come from excessive sitting and bad posture. If your are sitting a lot throughout the day, your hip flexors remain in a flexed position for an extended period. This creates tightness and leads to inactive hip flexor muscles. When muscles are inactive, they will atrophy and become weaker. Weak hip flexors will lead to more hip flexor strains and pain.
