MEN: you have glute issues!

interesting comment from a client during class

"my butt is so sore for yesterday's class.  i figure that my glutes are they only muscle that i dont have to worry about working out"

......i hear that all the time
HEY BOYS: GIRLS DIG A GREAT BOOTY
not to mention your glutes not firing lead to many MANY, knee, hip & lower back problems

90% of the men that walk into ALPHA VENICE do not USE there glutes EVEN during glute exercises.  Especially the ones that say they dont need to work them out!

THIS DOES NOT MEAN: 
that you have to be seen at the gym,
on the butt blaster, in a leotard.

here are a few exercises that you can do daily
some are basic movement to teach your muscles to fire so you can benefit from a glute workout


before you do anything 
FOAM ROLL
 PILATES CLAM - make sure to not move your hips

HIP BRIDGE
Heals on the ball tap the hips to the floor, then push them to the ceiling.  ALWAYS START WITH BOTH LEGS before you try a single leg exercise.

if this is too unstable just start with the basic hip bridge with your feet on the floor

NOW onto the glute workout.........
Do these drills once or twice a week, giving yourself adequate time for the muscle to recover

SINGLE LEG SQUAT TO CROSS BACK LUNGE



if you do not have a trx at the gym, you can use a rope hooked around the side of a squat rack
for your single leg lunge

the cross back lunge can be done free standing just allow that back foot to touch the floor so you have even pressure on each leg.


always make sure to stretch!

may your buns be tight 
and your jean be well fitting!
 then walk your fine ass to ALPHA VENICE
