Exercises to activate glutes

[FromBeanToCupYouFuckUp]

I’m trying to do glute bridges and clamshells but is there anything else that will get them firing?

Banded crab walk. But really, glute bridges are the thing. Maybe graduate to doing them using a Pilates ball.

I find back extensions really help

Best Thighs & Glutes workout I've ever found. Do it every day for a month and report back

Thanks Flower!

Daisy what’s a back extension?

When I'm doing glute bridges I do them weighted and do 40 followed by a 20 second hold and then 20 pulses. They're on fire by the end!

I don't find bridges best for glutes as my hamstrings take more of the effort. You can engage them more if you go on your heels or feet on a pilates ball.

All the ones on the side in the video above are the best for me.

@FromBeanToCupYouFuckUp - and once you have graduated from Lucy's school of Thighs and Glutes, here's your postgraduate course:

super slow motion up and down stairs.
'mermaid' (lying on belly lifting shoulders and knees up)

Do you have a glute band? Doing clamshells/bridges/paused squats with one of these will burn! Single leg deadlifts always work for me too

I have a resistance band, is that different?

Yes a resistance band will do it. Loop or tie it around your legs (depending on whether it’s a circular band or handles) and do bridges, squats, clamshells etc with it on - you’ll feel the difference

you’ll feel the difference

Oh yesssssss

Defo second the banded crab walks. Doesn’t have to be a mega thick band - just one of these dinky ones does the trick!

This is my quick leg workout with a band
There is another leg workout on my channel too. Let me know if I can help

Thanks everyone!

Bridges are great
