      You'd need to get an expert to give you a specific plan, based on your level and injury type. But I would say start with the basics, like in this video. Do them well, and once you can comfortable do sets in the 10-15 rep range, go to the next progression, for example, in this exercise you'd add an ankle weight. Get a physio or exercise therapist to identify your weak links, then work on them. You might not even be aware of them. I am quite fit, but realised I had weak rhomboids, which was limiting my pull ups and causing middle back ache - so I started working on them. Ditto for my hip flexors. If your injuries allow, I'd also recommend loads of walking.

      Yes, progressive training you need. You can put on an Ankle weight, not too heavy. Make sure you don't arch yr lower back by doing a small pelvic tilt and hold it. Angage yr whole glute muscles at all times when doing the whole repetitions. Make sure you stretch those muscles after each sessions. Keep it up :)

My point, I've had several physical therapist and chiropractors down through the years and none of them introduced this particular technique. Now that I'm older, this is what I've needed. I just did one round of ten reps on each leg and oh my goodness...I feel how this will get me on my way to having strengthened glutes as well as lower back!

      Also, look into doing dead hangs. You need a bar (like for pull ups), which you can install in a door frame. If your hands are weak just work on handing for 5 sec, then 10 sec, etc, in a few weeks you'll be able to do a minute perhaps. There are videos on the benefits of how it uncompresses your spine, and does other things. Cheers!

    3 sets 8-15 reps 6wks. If easy, use a yellow band loop, placed on ankles -lay on side, on flat surface, place hand in front of chest on surface for support, straight legs pencil shape, tip hips forward, raise one leg, heel pointed, leg up and back behind alittle, lower leg, return to start. Feel gluteus work at mostly top of tush and lower tush, as well. Do slowly w/good form & posture. 3 sets, 8-15 reps, do each set ‘til muscle tires. 5 min. 2-3x week. Strengthen glutes to support knees, back.

    I sure am glad I found this. At 66 I was in pretty good shape but I had to have colon surgery and a few months of chemo. I haven't done much for months and went bowling for a few hours. My brother wanted to go again the next day but I told him I better wait a few days. When we went again I pulled my butt after one ball! Couldn't walk for two days. Never had anything like that before.

      @joane24 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      It's usually about the form, not the excercise itself. You can do almost any excercise with a bad form so it might even cause the opposite effect (a chief example here is many abdominal excercises that when done incorrectly work rather on hip flexors than abs muscles...).
      Form, control, and awareness of movement are most important.

So if you would please, would you add one more video position front, back and then a long position view. either standing over the body facing camera down at your body so that one can see where the foot is in the movement. Or a shot from your feet to follow the entire movement. Thank you

It’s most critical to feel the gluteus maximus, the muscle you’re working on. People get sloppy and get no results and wonder why.

    I took a break from the computer to try this. Indeed, it was hard at first to get chest-slightly-forward, leg-lift-slightly-to-the-rear coordinated properly. But when I got it right, I immediately felt it work my (almost nonexistent) Glutes, as described here. I'm not sure I positioned my feet correctly, but that will hopefully come as I get more used to the exercise. I couldn't raise either leg as high as is shown here, but then I've not done this sort of exercise since Nov 2008.

    I don't give a flying flip what my butt looks like. In fact, the flatter it is, the better for me, so men will leave me alone. I detest males that overly fixate on female body parts, which is pretty much almost all of you, very sadly. That said, I also know how critical gluteal strength is for the sports I love like snowboarding, rollerblading, and even scuba diving. As a former gymnast, after core strength, gluteal strength was probably one of the single most important muscles for maintaining balance on the beam (and a surfboard).
    This exercise is one we all learned, ad nauseum, in the 80s in aerobics class. Anyone who ever went to an aerobics class definitely learned how to execute this exercise and the accompanying familiar lactic acid burn in the upper gluteal cheek.
    This will be helpful to people who have never heard of Jan Fonda (she was in her 40s, I think, when I was 14). Queen of aerobics in the early 80s.
