Glute workout. 3 Simple Moves to Wake Up Your Glutes!
Is your booty asleep babe? You're totally not alone. Most people have a tough time really feeling their glutes working. Even though they're your biggest muscle group, the glutes get super lazy and basically fall asleep. Wake them up with this glute workout!
A lot of it has to do with lifestyle. Since most people spend 8+ hours sitting throughout the day, their glutes don't get a lot of work.So lame, but the saying is true "if you do not use it, you will surely lose it."
Even with regular exercises that work the gluteus (aka booty) muscles if you don't activate them properly you can end up feeling less than bootylicious.
It's called Gluteal Amnesia. You can facepostural issues and definitely won't get the most out of your workouts without glute and hip activation. You've got to get them to fire up and wake up before you start your workout!
