Glute Activation || with Gwen. Jorgensen

[@snthorne705]

Helpful. More, please.

[@dougslabaugh1452]

Yes love this style of video, very simple but filmed and talked thru very well.

[@GwenJorgensen]

thanks

[@patriciadurgin1535]

More like this please. While the videos with family and team and races are fun and inspiring, videos like this are like gold to us amateurs. Thank you!!

[@amblincork]

Great to see an exercise video that is focussed on the specifics of the exercises and and that doesnt waste a lot of time on superfluous chat

[@jimoconnor8597]

Just came back from the PT and did a few of these. Weak glutes causing me some IT band and knee issues. Loving all the options given. Won't be long and we all will have glutes of steel!!! :)

[@amywestendorp52]

Yes more of these videos please! This is very helpful. Gwen does a great job explaining the exercises and helpful she does a full set, would love to see more.

[@megmikerodriguez6011]

Gwen, you are a sweetheart and I cannot get enough of you and your family! I adore how you show us a lot of your personal and family life and how you meld it in with your training. My only complaint is that you don't post MORE videos! Running is my first love, but I really like to see how you still cross train as well. I wish you'd done more of this (you tubing) when you were in triathlon, as I've gotten into the crazy sport for the past few years. Please consider training for an Iron Man (or at least a 70.3) one day...would LOVE to watch you along that journey! Thankful you are back from injury and doing well; God bless you and your family, Gwen

[@dustinmaherfitness]

Best Gwen video yet!

[@heatherwinchell7816]

Definitely an important video, so thank you for sharing! It was cool to see the man behind the camera, too :)

[@yubaexp]

Loved this - I suffered through four years of foot pain that was repeatedly misdiagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis. Eventually got lucky and was referred to Craig Smith in Tucson - took him less than ten minutes to tell me that I had weak glutes, and to start doing clamshells. Bam - fixed! Now I have added Gwen's exercises to my routine as well. Good luck in Tokyo you stud.

[@jasonennis1493]

Glute activation has always been an issue with me so this type of video is very useful and informative. Thanks guys big thumbs up from me 👍

[@ninamamadeus6159]

I just bought a set of these bands. This video is very helpful on how to use them!

[@leandrolaragione3350]

Hi Gwen, I m from Argentina. I practice triathlon, I follow you on IG. Every some months of training I have problemos in my left gluteos, I will try this exercises to get strong that area and try not to hurt anymore. thanks!!

[@guest00791]

I like this style of video. Instructional and clear! Easy to share with people looking for advice and information, instead of exclusively Gwen fans.

[@drumfun100]

Yes, like the style of video talbot. Nice and simple

[@nikkiniemeyer4931]

This is super helpful! I am so bad at activating my glutes when I run, so I'm excited to try this. Thank you!!

[@IRunRoseville]

Yes, this style of video is my favorite- I still watch the one with small foot muscle training.. where Gwen ties a band around furniture to hold it in place. That right there is real life!

[@danged_up]

Thank you for this great video! I have issues with weak/ inactive glutes and now I know what exercises to do.

[@deansfa]

Very good stuff. I was doing some of them on a daily basis but learned lots of new ones! Thank you for this video.

[@hoyempiezo_deporteynutricion]

Thank you for the video Gwen & Talbot. Of course I love this kind of videos with very practical tips. Short and clear.

[@EGabura]

These are my favorite videos. The feet exercises I learned here still do regularly.

[@zoeredmond4866]

Same here!

[@andreasexton8713]

This is brilliant Gwen - just what I need. I have exactly the same issue - I’m also tall so it’s very helpful to be able to watch you working on the stuff I have to

[@mcworks6822]

Simple vid very nice. we want see gwens swim workout days. special swim drills😉

[@davidjanbaz7728]

Hi Gwen, the exercises were great,the same we use in PT. Look up RPR they have a system of resetting your whole body.It only takes 1-2 min, video on you tube.

[@lydialin1951]

I like this style of video. It is very motivating!

[@cliftonmadden1992]

Love this style video. Nuts and bolts, nice and simple. Thank you!

[@paullee8875]

Informative as always. Tks Gwen.

[@daluciana]

loooove those videos with tips and informations. nice work guys!!

[@zoeredmond4866]

Love this style of video! I love seeing what training Gwen does, whether it's exercises before, during or after workouts !

[@grahamcarter8815]

Great video. Love the format - informal, engaging, easy to follow

[@PaulsWildLife]

Wow! Thanks! This was a great video. I've noticed when I'm struggling through a run, it's the glutes that need strengthening. Super helpful. Would love to see more of these!

[@ceciliabidwell1809]

Great video! Super helpful. This is something that I struggle with too so I loved learning a few new moves.

[@ari_luvs_music]

I love your videos! Keep posting! You're such an inspiration.

[@charlottedk]

This is great. I'd love videos for a pre-run routine (I'm thinking she does more than just glute-activation?), and post-run routine.

[@danielapennell316]

This is gold!

[@jarrodcrano2291]

I would love more videos like this. Really needed this

[@2715jedi]

yes... very good vid. Anything to help prevent injuries and in general get stronger are great vids to put up. Thanks

[@mreuphonium]

Yes please, enjoy it. Interested, very much so. Thank you. Looking forward to the next

[@marionhuber7724]

More of this --> yes, please :)

[@bpfastfeet25]

I think one type of video sorely needed in the running community (and really hard to film, direct, and produce!) is one that covers in depth the self talk needed during hard sessions. The art of staying relaxed but also relentlessly pushing one's body is so intimately tied to the stories we're telling ourselves inside our heads. Perhaps dual narration by both Gwen and a sport psychologist, overlayed post-hoc onto a really tough interval or tempo session? Thanks for all the great work Talbot, Gwen, & Pat (plus Stanley)!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Ben Peterson wow I like that idea but might be tough to execute. We will def mull this over

[@andreasexton8713]

More like this please 🙌🙌

[@kurtphilly]

This was wonderful. Similar content would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@sandram.9646]

Loved this! Any injury I have ever had always stemed from weak glutes or non firing glutes.

[@kellygraves479]

These videos are great! I find them really informative and have just the right amount of direction. I have started to include Gwen's workouts into mine! Thank you so much for sharing. Also, I love the food videos!

[@berilpolat971]

This was perfect!! I really enjoy Gwen’s exercise videos for injury prevention and maybe next time Stanley can join her!!! Good work Talbot!

[@abhilashranjan7739]

Highly effective ones, I waited to comment after trying them post run! ❤😇

[@GwenJorgensen]

Yay! Glad you felt that burn

[@cboozb]

I love your attention to detail. We see so many examples of these exercises as though there is nothing to describe. I've think once you have been doing these day after day you probably have a tendency to forget these little things that you had to learn to make them really work that way they are supposed to work. We learn to compensate for weaknesses and that will creep into how you do these and make them less effective You however, make mention of these things so I really like this. P.S. I love those opening credits

[@annewinning5151]

Excellent video - like this style - straightforward and well shown and explained - perfect length as well

[@anitasmith74]

Such a great video 😁 Wpuld def like to hear how you take care of your body post run with stretching/foam rolling/massage balls 😍

[@bcrx7]

More please! This is great!

[@jeffyeo8477]

Good video! Thanks for putting up the show notes too!

[@gman8341]

Love this kind of video! Please do more :)

[@carolynpiper5367]

Very helpful, loved the variations and will add a few of them in to my routine

[@carlosrodrigues0106]

Yes, I do. Thanks.

[@suprman2006]

great content. as others said: pre- and postrun routines would be interesting. thanks!

[@jocelynl2429]

[@andrewbonhomme8069]

Great stuff

I found this kind of videos very useful once in a while. Would love if she shares any running trick or tips. Thank you Gwen and thanks Talbot!

I have the same glute hip issues. Great video!

[@TheMrsWarhol]

Awesome video that will be so useful for me!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@joegaidosh8150]

Thank you so very much yes very informative would like to see how she’s changed it up since then or even gotten more proficient but thank you this is going to help a lot for myself and the people I train

[@trbeyond]

Great video.

[@infinixhot597]

Thanks!!! really useful . Would love some core exercise tips specially how to activate best that lazy transverse

[@GwenJorgensen]

Infinix Hot5 yes! I’ll tell Talbot

[@jeremyjones8301]

Saw at least two things I will use in my own routine.

[@bidmerun1]

Hey Gwen, great video! Glute strength is something I’ve always struggled with and I will be adding some of these exercises into my regular rotation. I also really like your “All In” tee in the video. Are those available to purchase? Keep the videos coming!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Mitch Bern pat May sell them soon

[@MonteComeau]

Thanks for this one. Exactly what I have been trying to do better. Do you do this before you run? What do you think of the new US Olympic Marathon Team qualifying standards? Good or bad for you?

[@GwenJorgensen]

Usatf hasn’t finalized standards yet so not yet time to form an opinion but honesty any policy is new to me. Haha. I do majority post run but I do a few like 5 reps pre run to activate

[@jared7586]

ThAnks !!!

[@stephaneboudreau4824]

Cool TY

[@annettecestari2103]

Good content video

[@jamesgreenham4991]

Really like this series. Just started today. Been having hip / glute issues so hopeful this gona bring me improvements over time. Do like that All In shirt too. Where’s that from ? Not seen it from a couple of quick google searches I did.

[@GwenJorgensen]

James Greenham we were thinking about selling them

[@jamesgreenham4991]

Gwen Jorgensen well you could do that for sure. Or just send me one ? Choices choices 🤷‍♀️😜 either way.. I wants one ☝️ oh and my taxes filed too if we’re really asking for a fav

[@giuliafolisi9879]

More video like this❤️

[@crazydavec3861]

Great stuff, I do the clam already as part of a circuit, but not with a band or the different positions. There's an experiment in the near future with that...🤔 there's a walk like a cowboy in the near future too I think, but, there we are! 😂 Cheers Gwen, 👍 when's your next marathon?

[@GwenJorgensen]

101% like this video.

[@valeriavale8195]

Mi campeona

[@martijnvreys2910]

Thanks for this, Gwen! Been struggling with weak glutes and this indeed gets them fired up. I suppose you only do this to activate and not strengthen if it's before your run. Do you also have some exercises to really work on glute strength, or are these the same except longer and stronger terra bands?

[@GwenJorgensen]

Martijn Vreys I do only about 5 to activate and then I do these after for strength

[@martijnvreys2910]

Gwen Jorgensen Great, many thanks for the advice. Will give it a go ;). Good luck with the upcoming season!

[@انتصاراسماعيل-غ1و]

How many times use it in week thank you

[@GwenJorgensen]

انتصار اسماعيل I do at least some of these daily. But not them all

[@IRunThings]

I do like these videos. They seem more 'human' to me. Like she is in the room with me.

[@quintinawiens2705]

Hi Gwen! Love this video! Question..how many times a week do you do this routine? Is it before every run? Thank you!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Quintina Wiens I do about 5 pre run and then 3-5 times a week full thing post run

[@timeless_realm]

Hi Gwen. Is there a difference between activation and strengthening the glutes? If so what exercises do you recommend for strengthening them?

[@GwenJorgensen]

Exigent Incursion these can be used in a small session pre run to activate or a big session like the video for strength post run

[@susangriffen8670]

Very effective video tutorial. Thank you. BTW, what size shoe does Gwen wear?

[@GwenJorgensen]

Susan Griffen haha? Why do you ask?

[@susangriffen8670]

@@GwenJorgensen Because feet are my issue, I'm always curious about runners' feet and what shoes work and why. Do you size up?

[@gabrielmaldonado2195]

How did you realize you struggled with your glutes? Is there a way to know what's your muscle that needs activating? Thank you for the video!

[@GwenJorgensen]

Gabriel Maldonado sometimes when you have a hip drop it is due to flutes

[@HaIIowsxeve]

Do you use the 12” resistance bands for stretching Gwen? Love the videos

[@GwenJorgensen]

oh boy not sure the inch size

[@pavanatanaya]

I do these exercises regularly, in the produce department. I get funny looks, but am never crowded

[@GwenJorgensen]

pavanatanaya 😆

[@MausMimi95]

At what point in you warm up will you do this? Especially in regards to warming up for a race?

[@GwenJorgensen]

Louisa Elle I do about 5 pre run and then the full set after run

[@rebeccariley6525]

When I do any glute exercises like these my lower legs get really tight. Do you think that would be because my body is trying to compensate for weak glutes? Sometimes I get shin pain when I run and I'm hoping strengthening my glutes will help with that.

[@GwenJorgensen]

Rebecca Gutzmann our bodies are so good at compensating! Try tapping your gluten while doing them to make sure they are firing

[@cristianizzini-enduranceat6505]

Hey Gwen, it would be great if you could do a video of a week training. If you are not happy to disclose that, I understand. But it would be very cool if you did like starting Monday all the way through to Sunday.

[@GwenJorgensen]

Cristian Izzini - Endurance Athlete & Coach it’s not that I can’t disclose it but more that it’s a lot of filming and camera time

[@cristianizzini-enduranceat6505]

@@GwenJorgensen I know. Talbot would love that, but then again I understand it may get in the way of your training. It will be very cool though. Maybe after the trials.

[@anetaglinkowska6149]

How do these exercises make a difference in your training? How do you know that your glutes fired or not?

[@GwenJorgensen]

perke perke for me a hip drop often indicates a glute weakness or not firing. Also injuries can show you sometimes too. A PT can test if it’s firing or not fairly easy

[@anetaglinkowska6149]

@@GwenJorgensen I can imagine that in your case the difference is very subtle. For the rest of us mortals it's injured knees and hurting lower backs.

[@Resonatick]

What are the tells of the glutes not "firing up" well on a run? I've been doing some similar exercises but not _before_ my runs, mostly on rest days or after runs

[@GwenJorgensen]

Truest I wouldn’t do this full set pre run just a couple. A lot of times a hip drop is caused by weak glute

[@Resonatick]

@@GwenJorgensen ok yeah i figured the full thing is a bit much before a run :) thanks for the answer!

Greg Dufour haha or mine? If it’s the bird that cage with the house

[@gdufour1]

​@@GwenJorgensen That is a bird! At first I just saw what appeared to be yellow highlighter scribbled on the wall close to the floor. Probably because I was riding the trainer while watching. Cool bonus feature though.

How soon before a run do you do these exercises Gwen?
