My excruciating leg pain started when I was 17 due to discs, operated on L4 L5 a few months later, I really was in agony, unable to walk, but no back pain at all. I'm 55 next month & I've suffered chronic back pain since. I can't remember what it's like to be pain free. I get a lot of referred pain in the hip area, I'm told my hips are fine. Sadly these exercises would be too painful for me but I will tune in for future videos.

[@jennypollard8739]

10+ years of back pain - medical professionals telling me I needed to work on my core - core work never alleviated the pain - FINALLY someone like Will suggested strengthening my glutes & like magic, my back pain was significantly alleviated. Thank you, thank you, thank you for spotlighting this!!

I was told the same thing and didn’t do much. Exercising in the pool helped more and I didn’t realize those were more glut exercises. Now I know what to do.

[@sherilynschneider]

Yip, this is exactly what happened to me. Years and years of seeing a chiropractor for temp relief to return to chiropractic again. Finally went to a PT and found my glutes were weak. Haven’t been to a chiropractor since. So important, especially for us women.

Wish I knew this years ago. I started to get severe back pain, sometimes could not even bend over to brush my teeth, after giving birth years ago, and finally had to wrap a lumber belt everyday. Until one day one of my friends noticed that I wear my belt super low, almost around my buttocks. Then I started strengthening my glutes and the pain finally stopped. However, I already got degeneration around my L5/S1, but the symptoms are kept under control by strengthening my muscles.

Thanks Will, I have fibromyalgia and my main pain is in the glutes, back and hips. The glutes being the worse, I have old meniscus tears so have sore knees as well. I want to do these exercises,as they’ll help my knee pain,however I’m a little concerned it may make the glute pain worse, I’m 78 years old. I really enjoy your videos. 😊

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

Finding out from my acupuncturist last year that it was my weak gluteus maximus that was probably the cause of my constant "knot" on my left lower back was a total breakthrough for me. I came straight home and found Will's channel. Even though I do Pilates every day, I clearly wasn't engaging this particular muscle enough. I do two exercises every day that target the GM (the hip abduction in side lying and a single leg bridge lift) and release the muscle with a ball these things keep me away from my osteopath - and saves me $125 every month. This channel is a total lifesaver! Thank you!!

[@Fadi-o1h]

Hi Will, As a former Olympic weightlifter for Australia, I’d like to offer a suggestion if you don’t mind, one you could do a video on and share with your viewers. My suggestion is to include goblet squats into your daily exercises, a movement that is super easy to do (especially more so when actually carrying a weight), and a movement that highly targets the glutes muscles. A tip (for people with tight ankle joints) would be to raise your heels slightly by placing something underneath them, or by wearing a shoe that has a two inch heel to it. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us all here Will, it’s very much appreciated mate.

[@wobble108]

Totally agree I've just started doing goblet squats...started on a low step.

Now that I understand what happened, I know I can “fix” it.

Being a bricklayer all my working life haven't suffered herniated disc, degenerated discs and in constant pain I now know the reason why. Been going to the gym most of my life, and always though squats was the answer. I now know it's because of week gluten, when I walked for long periods of time I would get lower back pain.

Good luck Lisa. I'm really fit at 74 but a persistent aching low back after latest injury has got me on a fix it programme. Back getting better but also excited to see Will's glute routine. So will add it. FYI - here's my current programme. Vigorous walk first thing each morning followed by mobility, stretching and strengthening work out in the park. Plus being way more consistent on fluid/water intake plus magnesium based supplements and topical creams. I don't ski so much anymore but need to keep fit, agile etc for my sailing retirement. Can't let age get in the way of an active lifestyle! Again - good luck.

[@sjak7]

Thank you for this. I knew my chronic back pain was due to my weak glutes but every doctor that I went to see told me to strengthen my core. My core is pretty strong. I’ll do these exercises to see if I can get any relief so that I can participate in sports that I enjoyed up to a year ago. I used to be an avid cyclist and weight lifter but due to my chronic back pain and recent onset of inflammation in my joints I can no longer participate in these sports. I’m in my early 50s and I feel so stiff and broken. I preordered your book, looking forward to reading it! Keep up the good work!

[@DiscoFang]

Excellent instruction. The reminder to really focus on relaxing the core made a huge difference to the effect of the exercises. I am very fit and flexible with a very strong core but it is apparent how relatively weak my glutes are.Doing these completely relaxed the tightness around my tailbone.

Thank you for this. I recently started weight training, at the gym, but thought I'd hop on a stationary bike for a 30 min cardio. I included a few out of the saddle sprints. Afterwards, I had a sore back for 4 days. I found your video through a "sore back" search and started doing these exercises. It made my back feel much better. I'm holding off on the resistance bands because I realized, right away, that my glutes are weak. I have been doing squats on a machine but I know my glutes weren't helping, like they should.

Thanks, Will I had no idea how the ratio of glute to back muscles should be when you straighten up. In fact, I mistakenly thought it used core muscles. I was doing a lot of floor cleaning, leaning forward, lifting my canister vacuum for hours a couple of days this week. I do generally feel abdominal discomfort when I do such things too long. I ended up with some of my IBS-C discomfort and lower back pain. Today my stress related IBS symptoms calmed down (doing Nerva hynotherapy sessions for that), but I was able to do these first two exercises. I did feel a twinge around my navel while doing them, but I'm so happy to see this today. My bad habit go-to is resting soreness ON THE COUCH, ouch! I see progress ahead!

[@LagMasterSam]

I can attest to this. I had nerve related back issues (sciatica and/or piriformis) for years until I started working on constantly activating my glutes. It was a PT on KZbin who claimed the number one way he had found to fix sciatica and piriformis problems was improving glute activation. He had a test you could do. If you can't squeeze your glutes without also substantially squeezing your quads, you probably have a glute activation issue. When I first did his test, I couldn't isolate my glute activation if my life depended on it. My quads would activate just as hard as my glutes. Now, it seems trivially easy for me to activate by glutes with nearly zero quad activation. I used the hip abductor machine at my gym to really work on this, and I still constantly focus on using my glutes to lift, even light weight things. When I was kid, people would sometimes say, "Put your ass into it!" while someone was lifting something. I did not understand that at all until I worked on constantly isolating and using my glutes to lift. I went my entire life without really using my glutes to lift anything.

I’m going to be trying this. I had quite a bad fall coming downstairs some years ago and I hit hard hurting my hip. I couldn’t even turn over in bed for weeks and weeks and was black & blue. It took a long time to heal. Since then I’ve been getting problems which have got progressively worse over time. Now it’s affecting me when walking. A nerve pain goes all down the front of my leg, radiating from the groin and hip. I can’t now lift my leg high as it hurts, so it’s causing me problems walking, putting on socks and going up and down stairs etc. When I bend over it’s uncomfortable. I’ll be trying some of your exercises so I can go for longer walks as I also need to lose weight but now I can’t get my 10,000 steps a few times a week. Very frustrating, but I think this one may well benefit me. 😊

Began The five steps with corrections. Starting with your reps and fewer sets (baby steps) working my way up to multiple reps and sets.

Thank you for your advice and tips for backache. I really must start doing them.. from the Italian Alps.

Dear Will, Like others here, I've been told by doctors, PTs, and personal trainers to improve my core resulting in only minimal relief. Your explanation makes perfect sense. Where can I purchase the wide band you're using? On Amazon perhaps?

Could you please do an episode about getting the upper back to stop aching all the time? Love your channel!

[@bodilskumsrud520]

Sorry to change the subject, I just discovered Moringa oleifera leaf powder and the nutritional value seems to be amazing but you really need to take 50 - 70 grams a day. Perhaps you could look into that. Up to you😊😊😊❤

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased to hear you like the new format!

I'm not 50 yet and these are awesome. I feel the glute activated and oh boy. Also with the last movement I felt all the way in my calf, thank you

[@aussiegirl-jx7nj]

Thank you for these. It's good to find glute exercises that don't include squatting, which people with knee pain find difficult. 😀
