Runners Glutes warm-up 🍑 These exercises are my absolute favourite for glutes ❤️ As physios we aren’t supposed to have favourites but 🤷🏻♀️ These guys give you so much bang for your buck…all the glutes are involved, quads & hammers are working and added neuromuscular control as a cherry on top 🍒 Options to dial up the reps, or add load, or increase/decrease height, or all of the above, but… try to get solid in the basics of the movement mechanics first. Driiiiiiive through the working hip and control and pause at the top, lower slowly if you can. Lateral step & variations are amazing for all you ITB runners out there. My single leg squat needs some work but try these yourself and let me know 👍🏼 Tag your running buddies who might enjoy adding this to their warm-up & non-running days. If you have running injuries or complaints right now, pop me DM to book a video consult👩💻 🏃♀️
