This is the most detailed and informative video about glute weakness that I have come across in my searching. Thanks so much!

I definitely underestimated the importance of smacking my glute to activate it. People at the gym seem impressed as well. Thanks!

Thanks Tim - really helpful video. Pressing down with the heels during bridges is a million dollar tip!

This is one of the best exercise/firing combos I've seen in most of my searching. Very few people address the "lack of firing issue", which I ended up learning threw much of my own research. I've had a lot of lower back issues due to a weak core, but even more because my glutes are not firing correctly and one leg is stronger than the other. I will definitely be sharing this with friends and family whenever I hear about their issues.

Tonya Renee . Hi Tonya, how have you progressed using these exercises? I have been suffering from lower back pain that we think stems from a crash which damaged my left Glute leaving it inactive that caused imbalance and tight quads, hip flexors and giving me a pelvic tilt. Am I correct you were/are suffering similar? Would love to know! Cheers 👍🏻.

do we have to do a warm up BEFORE this activation exercise ?

Sajida M. I would say yes, always warm up. Before everything. Do a little jogging in place, some easy jumping jacks, even some easy freestyle dancing to music, loosen the joints with gentle rotation. 5 mins. (I'm no professional, just a longtime fitness enthusiast. 😉

Very helpful thank you. The first two I felt it in my entire glute for the first time!

Great video and explanations. I have been dealing with a hamstring strain from poor glute activation for over a year and my physio gave me similar exercises but I forgot how to do them. This is super helpful, thank you.

Thank you for this video. You have been more thorough and more helpful than any trainer that I have worked with.

I always did the bridge exercise wrong. Now I know I have to press my heels down while I clinch my Glutes. Thanks.

Fantastic! So simple but very effective. Thank you very much, greetings from Croatia. ❤

Hey! This is the best instruction I have yet seen. I just went through all the movements (except used the couch to mimic the exercise ball) and I felt activation with every single one. Also, thanks for the reminder to keep the pelvic tilted to neutralize the lower back

Thank you, helped a lot. Love the last one.

Tanks for this excellent video. I really appreciated your explanations. I intend to use them today!

I don't think you realise how amusing you are Tim! Yet a great insightful video

Just subbed.Thank you very much!!!

Thanks , these 'prehab' exercises are so good for me, really appreciate them.

Helped so much! Thank you!

I'm so glad I found this ..great video so far for beginners like myself

The first exercise helped. Thank you.

Thanks for your explanation,I was doing it in wrong way but after this video when I’m doing it it’s completely different and beneficial

So good to finally find a video that focuses on activation! Awesome!!

Thank you so much for your expertise! My glutes on both sides are almost "dead" literally, due to some paralysis in rt. leg. Your explanations and visual cues are excellent. Wish I could of had you as a PT 30 years ago. I am back in PT once again for the 6th time and will start doing these daily. Have done them once and could feel the weakness, inability immediately. No doubt I will be sore after doing these a couple more times. Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I just started reviewing your videos, hoping to find more for muscle firing of all upper leg muscles, as that is where all my weakness is, from front, side and back of upper leg.

very nice n helpful little tutorial for a big group of muscles. thx

Brilliant, Thank you!

Great exercises. Thanks Tim.

Excellent...Thanks so much!!!

Thank you for a simple and well explained/demonstrated video👍🏻. I think I have a pelvis tilt due to tight quads, hip flexors, weak Tranverse Abdominis and an inactive left Glute leaving me with lower back pain. If I follow your video, how long before I should feel results. I know I will have to address the tight quads, hip flexors and weak TA also. Cheers 👌🏻

Very good video.

Terrific, clear instruction! Have an SI injury and have been told I have virtually no glutes to support core! 🙈🥺 Have not engaged with exercise for fitness before but thanks to your brilliant video today marks day one! Goal: no pain (and a peachy bum! 😉👏🏻)

Yep the anterior front muscles you are talking about, they cramp so bad when I am tightening them. This has been this way since my C-section.

Carol Sowle Oh Carol, I think I know exactly what you’re talking about. Used to happen to me also. Here are the instructions I followed to fix my overworking hamstrings: STAGE ONE 1. Lie on your back, legs bent, feet wider than hip width, spine neutral (sacrum pressed into floor, lumbar curve in place), arms by your sides, heels close enough to your butt that you can touch them, feet and knees turned out 45 degrees. Check that your hamstrings (back of thigh muscles) are totally soft. 2. Allow your pelvis to lift off the floor, tightening your glutei as you rise. You have the feeling that you’re drawing your butt cheeks together. 3. When you’ve lifted your pelvis as high as it can comfortably go, stay there for a while, checking the following: a. Are your feet relaxed, not gripping the floor tightly? b. Are your hamstrings still soft? c. Are your lower legs vertical? You may need to adjust your foot position. d. Does your bridge feel strong and stable? e. Is your belly flat (not pushing up into the air)? Practise holding this bridge for as long as you comfortably can. When you’re tired, lower your pelvis back to the floor, relaxing your glutes as you come down. STAGE TWO When you’ve mastered the glute bridge, meaning that you can raise your pelvis and keep it in the air for several minutes without activating your hamstrings, you’re ready to move to the conventional bridge. 1. From the raised pelvis position, place your hands on your butt cheeks, and start to slowly heel-toe-heel-toe your feet and thighs towards each other. Your hands on your butt keep you alert to any loss of muscle tension. If your glutes switch off, fire them up again. 2. Pay close attention to your hamstrings. As your thighs come to the parallel position, hamstrings will be somewhat activated, but so long as you keep the glutes working hard, the hamstrings won’t have to do much work. Practise moving slowly from glute bridge to conventional bridge, and back again to glute bridge. Good luck and best wishes!

THANKS a lot! I was blown away by GoROM 's video on testing if your glutes fired *equally* and tried his 2 exercises for activation. I just got me some ankle weights (happy days!), so of course I was only strapped in the left side (as there was perceptible difference in his diagnostic tool there!) .. Was feeling impatient however at the sleepy activation (I'm a dancer so admit to feeling a bit betrayed by my left glute *all these years?!?!* 😂) Anyway, in your video, i loved getting in deeper, learning more about how tis all put together. Then I had a brainwave. Put that second ankle weight also on my left side!!! Thanks so much 💗

Well i guess i forgot to say thank you ...i really liked the last exersice..😘

I needed to watch this 10 x over in order to understand his accent😂and terminology. But this brings back lots memories from my gymnastic days. Im going to try to master these in order to kick this 63.9 yr butt back into action!

Just what Need to work on!

really really impressed with the explanation, reasoning, and knowledge!!! really helpful, liked and subbed

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your tutorial, I will try these exercises, my hamstrings and glutes are aching slightly when sitting, I think your guidance should help.
