Glutes and Core

[Tattoosandmemories]

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone could advise me as to what the best exercises I can do to strengthen my glutes & core please?

I've started running again after visiting the osteopath for lower back pain. He's suggested I concentrate on strengthening those in particular.

I go to the gym to run 3/4 times a week with pilates once a week and I will add a day for cross training too, I just don't know what best to do! Rowing machine, maybe?

Have a look at the recent thread on toning your bottom.

I wouldn't add another endurance/aerobic activity. I'd add some strength training.

Squats
Glute bridges
Plank
Squats
Lunges
Squats
Lunges

The theme here is that a good squat routine done with correct form will tone all your body.

Also try resistance/strength training. Maybe do a pump class to start with?
