Hi, I am a runner and constantly feel my hip flexors which then cause pain down the inside of my knee, I try to use my glutes while running but my hip flexors are more dominant, will doing this exercise daily correct my issue?
How many reps should you do? Is this like a warm up exercise like to add to glute activation before a work out to get the right muscles engaged before working them?
It works! I’ve been having enormous lower back pain for the last 4 days. I drove for 14 hrs without stretching and that created it. It’s been super difficult to even sit down or get up from a toilet without using the walls to assist me. I did this exercise and I think I'm 85% better. I reactivated my glute muscles and then I tried the movements that were difficult (getting up, sitting down). And it so much easier and almost no pain. It also helped to position my butt at the top of the movement and then ease it down. Like negative contractions on a rep. 😀 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
02:11 could you please add some text to the vid description to explain how to use glutes WITHOUT activating hamstrings instead? Many ppl having this same question. Thanks 😎
How fo you squeeze tye glutes while legs are lifted? I can only squeeze them when I lift my hips while elevating my feet but I can't do that cause I have to crunch and hold like the tutorial? Thanks in advance!
Depends on every individual, but the goal here is to just getting that neuro-muscular connection so that your body learns to use abs during those movements. For me it took 3 weeks before starting regular abs workouts.
it‘s been a year but here is the answer who those who may still need it: the weight needs to be supported by the heels. to elevate the hips without tensing the hip flexors, make sure to first press your heels and heels only, keep the rest of the body relaxed to enable the right muscles to do the lifting.
@@ag.8243 Not really getting it either. I'm feeling my hamstrings doing all the lifting but the glutes not doing much of anything. Hips still getting a work out.
Honestly. I began going to 2 different professional chiropractors in Dallas, TX , in 8th grades, due to a hip flexor injury. I was a star track athlete, school and summer track & field, state bound up until the injury. I slowly stopped going to the appointments and quit running my 10th grade year, but I never stopping pooping my lower back before bed due to end of day pressure from the injury. My left buttox & hip flexor are WEAK (chiropractors showed me ). Now that I’m 22, I’ve continued this method of popping my back ( both sides) and down to my foot but no matter what, I CAN’T lay in bed all day. I have a couch in my room because the pain will be chronic if I don’t physically sit up right firmly, even with popping. I foam roll when I forget that it’s like this but it’s still very unfortunate once I’ve gone all day. Its 2:21am & I had to look up any type of solution. I can’t wait to try what you’ve shown in this video and share my results soon!
AngelOne11 pigeon pose. 90/90 stretch. Chair sit stretch. Sitting in a chair. Take your one leg and place the ankle on the opposite leg. Lean forward. You should feel the stretch in the glute area.
AngelOne11 no problem. Easing people's pain is what we were put on earth to do. By stretching your muscles you release pain so your body functions better thus you have a higher quality of life. The more tense your muscles are the less blood flow they receive. You blood carries oxygen to all parts of your body and most important your brain. This is why people who commit to yoga practice daily report feeling so refreshed.
Please can you help me. When I lift my right leg up to my chest, I hear a "clunk" sound come from around my hip area as opposed to a snap/pop sound. If I move my leg outwards and lift the leg again, I don't hear the sound. There is no pain, but do you know what this might be? Is this video for me? I also have patellar maltracking which is not resolving itself by strengthening the VMO and glutes and I think this may be linked. I also sit during the day more than most people. Thanks!
I dont thinking doing the squeezing part correct, my form is same as yours however when I push down on the heels my legs tremble and when I squeeze my glutes my whole body shakes and it gets harder to maintain that form...
Oh I get it now. It's reverse instagram butt photo 😂 You push the butt aka in this the hip inside towards your stomache. That's how he "activates" the glutes. Forgot to say that.
You can achieve this by just laying down, put the soles of your feet together with your knees falling out on each side. This deactivated your hip flexors .... no do your crunches
First!
This is absolute gold. I can now do a proper abs workout without having to give up after two minutes due to aching hip flexors. Thank you very much
With lower cross and a L5S1 disk issue I love the low back and hip flexor videos
This is exactly the info I was looking for!
I just found you guys! I am binge listening to everything you guys have out! You all rock!
Nice to be fit and guide for doing in proper manner
👍
you literally saved my life. I was in so much pain today. thank you 👍🏻

i only recently discover this channel, and the mind pump podcast, thank you for all the excellent information!
Any time
Thank you sir
Yeessss, this was such a timely find for me. Thank you!
How many reps should you do? Is this like a warm up exercise like to add to glute activation before a work out to get the right muscles engaged before working them?
Thank you sir. Been having lot of pain in hip flexor and hard time strengthening the core been difficult. ❤️

Sounds like disc problems I have the same
Justin recommended me this today. Big thanks to Mind Pump.
Thank you! It works!
Excellent info many thanks!
Does it matter that when I lift my bum off the ground I can only feel tension in my hamstrings and not my glutes?
Superb advice. I found doing this before the abs workout got them abs muscle activated, this really highlighted where I needed to make corrections 👍🏼
Legend!
Very good exercise but when i lift my glutes why do i feel my hamstrings and carvs more then my glutes?Or is it normal?
Is this needs to be done before every abs exercises?
02:11 could you please add some text to the vid description to explain how to use glutes WITHOUT activating hamstrings instead? Many ppl having this same question. Thanks 😎
Is that the only move to do for that?
i have this problem great tip love from india
You are amazing
it 100 % works and helping me very much
I'll try it
I feel my hamstring as well as my glutes for some reason. Should I feel my hamstrings ?
Same bro idk if that’s normal
How fo you squeeze tye glutes while legs are lifted?
I can only squeeze them when I lift my hips while elevating my feet but I can't do that cause I have to crunch and hold like the tutorial?
Thanks in advance!
Will this still work if you have had a spinal fusion and get crippling nerve pain ?
How do i activate the glutes? I think i used my hamstring when i tried this
Same here, I only feel my hamstrings activated.
Same and lower back, my glutes doing nothing
How do I turn off my hamstrings when doing this? They seem to cramp up, so I know it’s weak glutes, but not sure how to fix that.
How should the legs be if you’re around 6 feet tall and mostly legs. Trying to squeeze my glutes hurts my thighs. Not sure I am doing it right.
5:00 How do I know if I like the video as much as you enjoyed making it? I don't know how much, if at all you liked making this video.
Real shit
how many times should i repeat this exercise for success??
My hamstrings seem to cramp up when doing this?
How long are you supposed to do this for until I can finally do regular ab workouts without feeling that back pain
Depends on every individual, but the goal here is to just getting that neuro-muscular connection so that your body learns to use abs during those movements. For me it took 3 weeks before starting regular abs workouts.
So, I'm squeezing my glutes but I still feel my hip flexors tightening at the same time, or at least my thighs. I'm not sure how to prevent this.

Lol Paige you lied to us. You said you'd show your results soon..
More videos with our 'favourite' host, pleaaaaaase! :)
What to do when you have tight glutes and hip flexors at the same time? My right glute and hip flexors are both extremely tight.
AngelOne11 pigeon pose. 90/90 stretch. Chair sit stretch. Sitting in a chair. Take your one leg and place the ankle on the opposite leg. Lean forward. You should feel the stretch in the glute area.

I get the same did u find a culprit
Never provided the name of this exercise?
This hurt my back
I would say if you have lower back pain you don't do crunches in the first place. The McGill curl up should be as close as you get.
That salt n peppa.. what a man
I dont thinking doing the squeezing part correct, my form is same as yours however when I push down on the heels my legs tremble and when I squeeze my glutes my whole body shakes and it gets harder to maintain that form...
Getuar Jashari That May just be week glutei.
My hip flexors are still doing work nothing helps me 😭
Keep the neck relaxed with the chin tucked though.
Oh I get it now. It's reverse instagram butt photo 😂
You push the butt aka in this the hip inside towards your stomache.
That's how he "activates" the glutes. Forgot to say that.
Don't forget to stretch your hip flexors too y'all!!
I felt this 100% in my hipflexors and not in my glutes at all... Wtf is wrong with me???
Funny if I don't concentrate when doing crunches my body wants to do sit ups.
You can achieve this by just laying down, put the soles of your feet together with your knees falling out on each side. This deactivated your hip flexors .... no do your crunches
Yep, it's called a "frog crunch". If you do it his way, I would suggest putting a ball between your knees.
😳 Um no wonder I have a flat pancake of a 🍑!!!! I literally can not for the life of me flex my Glutes without my calves taking over! Mind blown!!!
At this point I see Sal I click
Why would I listen to this guy ? Does he even lift ?😜😝😂 Nah thanks for the Vid !
I don’t think you can squeeze your glutes with this position
You can
Sal be looking yummy in that shirt
#nohomo
This was nonsense man
