How To Turn On & WAKE UP Your Glutes! (do these every day)

[@paarth6088]

Hey Connor please make a video on stuff or excercises we can do first thing in the morning after waking up, for improving mobility and function and feeling better overall.

[@conorharris]

Great idea!

[@Matak1991]

That’s would be awesome. Because a lot of movements out there, where everyone says you need to do CAR’s in the morning then full body mobility or animal flow or grab a broomstick…. I’m going crazy from so many choices so my mind prefers do nothing 😂.. I want something that will target everything like neck, thoracic spine, hip, legs, foot

[@hrwedsash]

​@@conorharris also please make a video on how to increase Plantar flexion range

[@1sweetwhirl]

This was life changing. I have had right outer knee and shin pain for the past year and I have literally tried everything and anything to help it. Yes, I have been self-diagnosing thinking I had everything. I haven’t been able to squat without pain and it’s been so defeating…until I tried this. Thank you so so much Connor!!!! I’m in shock at how this unlocked my whole leg.

[@conorharris]

That’s phenomenal to hear!!!

[@tizianoiervolino4855]

This guy is a fuckin genius

[@labroussic]

This video saved my life!! I have been suffering from osteoarthritis on my left hip for two years, before I started figuring out what caused the problem and what is aggravating the symptoms. This video was the last piece of information that I needed in order to keep my hip functional and pain-free. In just 30 seconds my limping (caused yesterday by some improper movement) vanished as if by magic! Thank you Conor! 🙏👏💖

[@1sweetwhirl]

That’s exactly how I felt. It was like magic. My knee pain was gone.

[@conorharris]

Damn, these comments are making my day! So glad to be impacting lives like this 🙂

[@industryrule-4080]

I have been doing standing clamshells with a band for ages to help with knee pain from cycling with moderate success. I just tried this technique and I could totally feel my glutes firing on my last ride. Incredible.

[@carlagthinkbig8638]

Hi dear Connor! Would it be possible to make a video about possible relaxing exercises for headache due to stiffness of the neck and shoulder blades? You're the best channel here! Great work! 😊

[@sdspoison562]

This exercise is really amazing. I had been suffering from unexplained discomfort for about a year and had trouble sleeping, but when I activated my glutes, it felt as if my entire body was connected to my core, and my breathing became easier and I felt more relaxed. I would really like to thank Connor, but I would like you to explain the pattern of how the glutes become inactive and the changes that occur in the body at that time.

[@frankthegreat-]

[@conorharris]

Glad you do! Trying to up the quality

[@tjonutube]

Love those background tunes that have been introduced into these ever more helpful videos 👌🏻

[@Fishc27]

Makes sense, I see a lot of fit girls struggling with glute development and they often have pointy wide ASIS and a flat lower back visually. So it's actually chronically tight glutes, and they have used "main-stream" glute-techniques of squeezing harder for years, actually the opposite of what they need.

[@blink99v]

Thry,like me sre probably pushed forward with their weight. Thus the glutes "grab" to compensate us falling forward. So we must open and ungrip the butt, via adductor involvement and hinge movements,exhaling fully oblique engage etc

[@Travishibachi87]

Exactly. In order for a muscle to contract concentrically it has to move from a place of relative lengthening aka eccentric orientation 😉💪

[@Jikkyy678]

When we put our hand in our glute during the hinge, do you feel it contract? And if not we have something amiss?

Thank you so much for this excellent video. I look forward to improving my posterior pelvic tilt using this.

[@PhilAlumb]

Good information.👍🏻

[@danieliliescu9614]

Your explanations are really great, but many of the exercises seem over-complicated. I’m sure they are intended to maximize whatever effect they are trying to get. Can we just get a set of simpler exercises that work the same problems, maybe not in the most efficient, but good enough and simple enough that I can easily follow them?

[@jdogbeck1]

This, it seems like every video the exercises have me either using equipment or taking your ankle and putting it behind your other side ear

[@PhenomenalOne23]

This is the 1st video I saw of his so I'm going with only this as a sample size but it's a simple exercise, it's just a lot of explaining of proper mechanics. It's a lot to focus on at 1st but with repetition proper mechanics become 2nd nature

[@hendrikstrauss3717]

​@@PhenomenalOne23Meanwhile I can attest that for my problems seemingly simpler exercises haven't really worked great so far. When the mechanics of the hip aren't already working intuitively just doing glute bridges will not necessarily work because you gotta learn how to hinge properly, and that is precisely what this video addresses. I am curious of my results as it parallels what I learned recently from experience and other content, namely that it is not just about rotating the hip anterior, but rather about creating some space in the lower back, such that you can stretch out the hip, and then contract.

[@nmartin5551]

IF it were easy and had simple exercises, would we be on here trying to figure out how to get this to happen? No. Do you best to understand what he is sharing, it’s not simple.

[@teresablake188]

[@rocklove89]

How could these exercises be adapted for people who are hypermobile?

[@TanyaK-m3j]

I’ve been trying to follow the routine because some good comment. But omg it’s all so precise and subtle. My head is spinning but I’m still not sure what part of my body is stretching at that moment. Am I the only one ? Is it even possible to learn without the instructor watching over?

[@br185511]

Does waking up the glutes help sciatica? I lost much my glutes by sitting hours at a time driving rideshare. Thank you for this video.

[@conorharris]

It absolutely can. The stretch + one of the exercises that works best for you can make a significant difference

[@br185511]

@@conorharris Thank you!

[@blink99v]

I have this as well, and yes the nerve goes through the SI joint. When the SI joint doesn't move proper i.e space it's to compressed. A weak glute also will allow the piriformis muscle to get irritated as it tries to compensate

[@Jessie-vu8ns]

One thing that I find peculiar about your videos Connor is that you go through these movements so methodically and in extreme detail but you never seem to touch on how to implement them in a way that will correct our own personal mechanical imbalances or even really how we should expect to feel when these exercises are working in our favor as they are intended. So in my own experience Ill watch a video, go theough the steps and perform whatever movement that is being demonstrated, but then when I'm done I have no indication of if it was even beneficial beyond "that felt like a good stretch" or maybe "my body sort of feels more aligned" Like presumably if one side of a person's body is out of wack and they do this stretch on the incorrect side of their body they would likely be exacerbating the problem so it would be helpful if you touched on this stuff a little bit so that we arent just left to guess for ourselves on this stuff

[@alexpope377]

Hey Connor, I've tried the movement in this video as well as a similar video of yours with the same movement. I've watched each many times over to make sure I'm doing it correctly - I end up with low-back pain the next day almost every time. Thinking this could be from my anterior pelvic tilt but wanted to see if you have any other ideas. Thanks and love the vids!

[@conorharris]

You’re likely going too low or yes, in too much APT

[@johnhodgeman3980]

For the prepatory exercise, what happens if you have functional leg length discrepancy, left leg shorter. Would you still stand on the book? Left leg: hip externally rotated, femur rotated, tibula internally, foot prolly internally rotated. Si joint unlocks. Left side doesn't move (bendover toe touches, sitting going from butt out to slouch). Right leg: hip internally rotated, tibia slightly internally rotated, foot prolly slightly internally rotated. Si joint dysfunction hypermobile. Right side moves. (I.e. bend over toe touches, sitting going from butt out to slouch).

[@KineticSenseTherapies]

If your left leg presents in more ir you could just have a Laic pattern, not a leg length discrepancy.

[@ایلکای-د8ج]

Superthanks 👌

[@malush1412]

Hey Connor - do you have any recommendations for sets/rep frequencies for these? I've been doing them the past 3 days and they are indeed a game changer for waking up my glutes (which I so needed due to sitting so much during my day). I notice that if I take a pause of a minute or so between rounds of each of the exercises that I can actually sense my glutes way more just standing. Any logic/truth to that?

[@Roflirl2]

I feel like this exercise should be the one of the foundation exercises to fix APT

[@Roflirl2]

Would you recommend doing this exercise with dumbbells if u can do 8x 110kg lef press 3 sets, but have a weak upperbody, definitely engraining this in my routine

[@sciencensorcery]

How would you program these? Just anytime or would they be best used before a lower body workout, for example?

[@Tiktakfix]

Hey Connor, if Ifeel this problem in my both sides, would it be correct to apply these exercises for both sides? Whether I am a PEC model or not

Would it be possible for you to write down what you are explaining. English is not my native language and it would help me to follow your advice better. Thank you.

Anyone else feel left glute no problem on Exercise #1, but right side feel calf/hamstring? Exercise #2 I can get glute on right and left side.

[@conorharris]

You may need to find your inner foot arch, particularly your heel more through the lowering and the push. If not, you might want to connect your arch to your glute working more first with something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poHQen6mha-DbcU

[@bshami03]

@@conorharris great tip, especially with the heel focus on the lowering+push! I can get my glute through that side lying activation you linked, thank you! It makes sense to repeat that glute connection with the side lying drill, exercise #2 from this video, and then continue to carry that over to exercise #1 with the cues... And keep practicing to lock it in!

[@bshami03]

Going to add to this and say I persisted with the inner heel foot contact at the bottom, and paused several times on the way up and really connected to the glute and went slow. Success 🙌

[@k.g.274]

And if the leg raise is not limited but you get front hip pain when lifting the leg?

[@conorharris]

Likely similar problem and the stretch may help

[@blink99v]

When we put our hand in our glute during the hinge, do you feel it contract? And if not we have something amiss?

[@conorharris]

Not in that area exactly, it should be contracting lower than that. The hand is there to feel the hips sense pushing “back” into something

[@blink99v]

@conorharris it's hard, but ya I cam feel it contract and "pull " me up, I and others I bet are turning our pelvis far to much, or pelvis is tipped before we even start? Thus mechanically the glute is inhibited ?

[@Reem-ew4dl]

Can u put a Arabic translation plz

[@darrelerxleben]

Hey Conor , what if you have great IR but lack ER and looking for better glute growth ?

Then you are probably stuck in anterior pelvic tilt and you can still do these, just put more emphasis on your ribs not flaring up/low back arching a lot

why do I feel the hamstring (left) more than the glute max and constant pain in the glute medius (left) and QL (left). Is it because my left glutes are weak and glute medius is in compensation state. can anyone help me with this

[@GenSek2006]

also weak/inactive knee flexors and obliques maybe. when you exercise them and do glute bridges, squats and such, try going barefoot and mind the weight distribution between heels and points of contact mentioned in the video. That can help with reaching more neutrality.
