Top 5 Exercises for Gluteus Medius & Minimus (New Research!)

Gluteus medius and minimus are important abductors and stabilizers of the hip joint and are implicated in several clinical conditions including low back pain, patellofemoral pain, IT band syndrome, hip impingement, gluteal tendinopathy and ACL tears.
Here are 5 great exercises for strengthening both of these muscles, which could be used as a part of a prehab program or with someone who is suffering from one of the clinical conditions mentioned above.
The exercises are demonstrated according to how much they activated gluteus medius and minimus via EMG (electromyography).
1. Lateral Step-Up
2. Hip Hitch
3. Standing Abduction
4. Single-Leg Bridge
5. Sidelying Abduction + Internal Rot.
I would aim to complete these 2-3 times per week and perform 3 sets of 10-15 reps.

    Dear sir, I've been suffering from my right hip for months. I went to see a fysioterapist, an osteopath, an orthopedic, etc... I did exercises which I found in books and on KZread, Instagram... Yesterday I came across your video and I did all five exercises. I still can't believe it but the pain is gone. Completely and entirely gone ! I slept on my right side last night without feeling any pain. I am so very grateful for your help and insight in the human body. I can't thank you enough for making this video !

Went to a trainer in July and now my rotor cuffs and my pastor are way better. We're now working on the atrophy arsh Stick with it everyday my friend if you can 2 3 times to get your bottom strengthened

    Brother, keep it up! Nowadays, many people suffer of pain on their shoulders, knees, hips, etc because of muscle imbalances. When the right muscles are not working in harmony then other body structures that are not supposed to do that work have to assist. Stuff like this if untreated and if the person keeps on abusing their body will just worsen things till it it so bad that you'll need surgery. If you have pain on your hips or shoulders look into increasing your mobility and strengthen the new ranges of motion, don't just stretch!!

    I have to return to comment on your excellent exercise video for the medius and minimus. I tore my left medius and injured the tensor fasciae latae this last summer. Thanks to the ultrasound technician who did excellent work and an explanation of where and what was injured with the caveat not to tell the Dr. she had explained this. The Dr. wasn't very helpful, just "you have a tear' here's the report see your Dr. when you get home and you'll need physical therapy. Well I did some research your video came up as well as others. Yours struck a chord. I've been doing these exercises in combination with a core Pilates program, and daily walking and my chronic lower back pain has disappeared and my enjoyment of more hiking has increased. I'm a senior and maintaining my health so I can continue to be active is important. Thank you so much!

    Thanks for this video. I found the pelvic hitch (#4) to be particularly helpful. I have some long-term issues deep in my left hip, and this one seems to hit the spot. Plus, I can do this stretch almost anywhere. And, while I have been doing bridges for a few years, I have recently increased the variations and reps. The hip abduction with internal rotation also really hits the spot. I've been doing them quite a while without the internal rotation, and that single change makes it exponentially more challenging. I'm gradually erasing my FAI diagnosis with targeted glute med and min work.

    I have been trying to heal this kind of nerve? pain in my left glute? hip? and have been trying exercises that target the sciatic nerve or piriformis muscle and I have not had much progress at all. I started a full on exercise regime a year ago so it can really act up ( I am a 50 year old woman ). I just finished doing all 5 exercises, 3 sets of 10 on each side. Afterwards, I felt right away that nice feeling when a specific area gets a good targeted workout and I could feel a sudden sensation of blood and chi? "warming" that whole area on my left glute. Very happy to start including these exercises into my program. Thank you sooo incredibly much.
