Having a strong rear-end not only helps improve posture, but it can significantly enhance injury prevention as well. The first thing we must remember is glutes are muscles. They are one of the strongest muscles in the body and are absolutely required in movements involving the hips and thighs like standing up, sitting down, and walking. Without the glutes, these activities would be extremely difficult if not impossible.
Many people take their glutes for granted. Having weak and/or inhibited glutes can cause more problems than people realize. Weak glutes can lead to a myriad of health issues; most commonly found being muscle imbalances.
Unfortunately, you’ve been LIED TO about how to train your body’s BIGGEST muscle... and this is the #2 glute training barrier, sitting way too much!
Your glutes are asleep. And the reason?
SITTING.
Endless studies show sitting hurts our physical health. It’s a "silent killer”. Unlike a sports injury, you don't realize the extent of the damage done until it's too late.
The only time we notice there could be an issue is when we sit for too long and get a numb butt. "Dead butt syndrome" or gluteal amnesia occurs when your glutes stop firing as they should.
The technical term for this is "inhibition". When you sit for a prolonged period, your glutes aren't activated. They get weak, and it has consequences for the rest of your body. Other muscles are forced to compensate for your glute weakness, and this may result in lower back, knee or hip pain.
They prevent your gluteal muscles from activating so you never perform at 100%. You can’t train a dormant muscle.
What's worse is that you can suffer from this even if you exercise regularly. You can't 'out-exercise' the effect of sitting.
Our muscles are dormant, so we need to wake them up. Time spent training a dormant muscle is wasted. That’s why you never get the gains you expect, despite your hard work.
When you look in the mirror wondering where your butt is and what more you can do, this is it. You need to WAKE UP your glutes.
The Fix - Wake up your glutes
The key to unlocking your glutes is its opposing muscle, the hip flexor. You see, sitting tightens the hip flexors preventing the glutes from firing.
To fire your glutes, we use a two-step protocol. It involves: a) dealing with tight hip flexors first and b) then re-activating the glutes.
Restorative stretching lengthens the muscle fiber to return the hip flexors to their original length.
To re-activate the glutes, we turn to a tool of physical therapists use to rehabilitate injured athletes: neuromuscular activation. This technique restores the mind-muscle link between your brain and your glutes, lost when you sit for too long and your glutes "switch off".
Stretching and muscle activation in that order is the ONLY way to kick your glutes into action from being dormant.
The good news. It only takes an additional three to five minutes of stretches and activation exercises to hit 100% of your potential. No matter what your goal is, adding a “Wake Up Protocol” gets you there faster, safer and probably a lot easier.
So now we know what the obstacles are that are stopping you from getting the glutes you want, it’s clear why…
