Want a strong gluteus medius to tackle pain in your legs and hips?
The gluteus medius controls your ability to lift your leg to the side, think side-stepping. It also takes responsibility for pelvis stability while standing on one foot.
The tensor fasciae latae compensates for a weak glute medius, causing TFL pain, trochanteric bursitis, lateral meniscus issues, patellar tracking problems, and so much more.
Coach E will take you through 4 exercises to build glute medius strength through the entire kinetic chain. You’ll focus on movement patterns that you’ll use every day, probably without thinking about it. Except now, you’ll teach your brain to activate the right muscles in sequence and prevent wear and tear on everything from your hips to your ankles.
While you’re doing the exercises, remember to breathe - big, slow breaths. Slowly release activation. Think of it like setting down a heavy weight instead of dropping it.
Final tip, maintain metatarsal pressure (weight through the ball of the foot) while doing the standing glute medius exercises.
