Thanks for the focus on proper form. I learned how to develop this bridge exercise that I’ve been doing so that I change foot contact position and observe how the glutei are firing or not. Now I’ll add the vertical exercise. Will let you know how it goes. Thank you so much!
I learned you got a cute butt... 😏😂🤣😂 switching up my form thanks to the gems you dropped in this video.
Inspiring. I'll be 53 in May, and I definitely need to have less pain in my body. For health reasons, I've been pretty inactive other than regular activities of daily living, gardening, and hobby farming. Inch by inch I hope to get my body feeling better. Thank you for the video. Oh and by the way, you have a really nice butt.
Thank you ❤️
I learned you watched 2 girls, 1 cup. But I also learned I have a lot of work to do.
His voice is like a therapist and meditation to me. Perfect way to learn
I love that he’s doing this in jeans😅 love his personality
Back in the day, I was told my butt could stop traffic. Now, at 58, it's almost nonexistent. 😢 Thank you for posting this!❤
What do you think happened?😂
It's called aging it happens to the best of us. At least your daughter isn't telling you you're getting old and have a big saggy behind. 😢😂
Start back with those squats and deadlifts. Trust me. I’m 57 and these two exercises still work ❤
Maybe you're not noticing the guys your age
😂😂😂❤❤
I’m a woman, I grew a huge butt doing strength training and powerlifting movements. I can squat 225 lbs and deadlift 280. I never even planned to get this strong. If you REALLY want a strong and solid butt, take up squatting and deadlifting and research glute training videos
Can you all that without the equipment and going to gym? I wanna workout at home because of my social anxiety and health.
@@user-oq1nt4li3r No, if you want a full comprehensive training regimen, especially for glutes/lower body, you will need access to a range of equipment which you can only get at the gym. I did home workouts and saw almost zero progress because you’re too limited in what you can do at home. Plus, confronting your social anxiety to go to the gym will be a positive change for yourself. You just have to walk in there like you belong and you own the place. And I’d recommend checking out a few different gyms so you can pick the one that has the most leg machines and the widest range of equipment. Generally you’ll want to avoid Planet Fitness because they are notorious for not having sufficient weight equipment.
@@user-oq1nt4li3r By doing home workout you might see some initial gains, but gradually you need to challenge your muscle & progressively overload. If you can't go to the gym you can buy yourself a barbell & weight plates. You don't need all those fancy machines.
Thank you💚. I'm 81 and beginning these exercises will hep me with pain, balance and stamina. I'll begin today. I appreciate your marvelous sense of humor. Ypu do a great job demonstrating and teaching. Appreciate you😊
You are amazing ❤😊
This is me exactly. Used to be a sprinter, mountain biker and bodybuilder. Then everything went south when I had to care for my elder parents, and then my Vietnam Vet brother. My butt used to be wide awake, now they are comatose. I will be doing this!
What the hell is that title? 😄
A title that is supposed to make you want to eat some chocolate ice cream.

It's a tail of two butts.
It was a butt wink that caught your eye. 😉
Bridges to build your Glutes ☯️
You are such a good teacher and such a nice person. We are all so lucky to be tutored by you and I wish you all the luck in the world.
Totally agree!..❤️💯
For any intelligent and wise man, no matter how severe their depression and how much torture they went through when they were young and how much they were rejected by their parents and no matter how much they suffered in the hands of their criminal bosses, some men were created to be saints. Some men were created to be celibate. Celibacy is their test in the world. Because they're sensitive and emotional and because they are dependent on people and human emotions of feelings of love and loyalty, celibacy is their test and celibacy is their answer. Celibacy is their blessing and celibacy they think is their curse. And whenever an intelligent and wise man goes into a relationship and seeks love and happiness in this world from a woman, he ends up suffering so much through other reasons that he ends up emotionally and mentally breaking down and becoming depressed and dependent upon a man emotionally physically and eventually sexually.
And many of them end up falling in love with younger boys after sexually being involved with an intelligent and emotional man who feels dishonoured and humiliated by the sexually serving their boyfriends and husbands.
The answer is very simple. Celibacy...
Purity. Piety. Chastity.
Although for a person who is mentally and emotionally depressed and spends all his life crying weeping and wailing and being sad, the greatest nightmare of that person is to be single and chaste. But if they could suffer that pain of celibacy for 3 to 5 years, then they would find such happiness and such fulfilment in their lives and they would never ever have to go through the long part of seeking sexual pleasure from a woman and then falling in love with a man and then becoming a criminal to keep that man and then becoming a murderer and a monster and a weak person who is dependent on another person's love and has to destroy the universe and every religion and every law just to justify themselves and they're sick sexual sexuality.Although celibacy and Chastity is a word of fear and terror to men. These two words hold every honour, every friendship, every happiness, every power, every fulfilment, health happiness honour respect true friendships ultimate happiness and ultimate success in this world and the next for every single emotional and intelligent man.
These exercises seem like good safe exercises to try.
Sorry about your butt loss trauma.
😂😂😂
😀😀🤣
😂😂
Butt loss trauma!!! 😂😂😂 lol
😂😅😂
I appreciate you attention to form and your thorough explanations about how the muscles work in each exercise.
Only black women claim they don’t like a man with a big butt
I. Love. You.
As a woman who has lifted for legitimately 30/41y of my life, my glutes are ABYSMAL. Will immediately start this (along with waking up my feet and working on my shitty ankle mobiiity) immediately.
May you receive the light you give to the world.
I don’t know who you are, or where you came from. ❤But this is exactly what I needed to see. 😅THANK YOU!!!!
I believe that I have had very very weak, butt or glut muscles my entire life. It may have been cute back in the 80s, but it doesn’t help my physical body function in 2024 at 54 years old. I’ve been to physical therapy a million times. I have nerve some random nerve damage in my lower Rt leg. I need to loose weight especially around my belly. I’ve been trying to figure it out on my own because I want to be proactive. Strengthening those glut muscles may change my entire life. I truly believe that and I want to work on my core. One day at a time. Today is February 25, 2024. Gonna try to find this video and check back in a month, wish me luck!
How is your progress?
Glute bridges are the answer to everything 😂 hip pain, knee pain, no butt, everything.
😆
Glute brigde works for me,my butt genetic is good maybe this why 😂
Excellent butt exercises. The personal youthful stories helped, too. Thanks.
As I watched your video again to do the standing glute exercise, I realized why it was so difficult for me to bike uphill, sprint quickly when chasing a tennis ball, or skateboard or roller blade. All of these activities necessitate strong glutes. I need strong glutes to climb the stairs now that I'm older.
I can totally vouch for what he's saying. I'm 55 ,was always fit but life got a little difficult and I had to work more.
I have a physical job. I literally worked my ass off. Hip pain, knee pain and lots of body pain. When I became so
exhausted from work and had to slow down, I started to notice my flat butt. I had an old lady flat butt😲.
I began to sart focusing on my glutes to grow them again. Once I started developing my glute stength, I noticed
how good I felt. My aches an pains went away, work became so much easier and I wasn't so tired at
the end of the day. My whole mood changed. Since then, I've realized how important the glutes are to your physical
stability and over all health, not to mention, a "bubble butt" is an atractive feature to have.
I'm 61. I figured my butt split because my hormones split. So is it possible for a 61 yr old post menopausal woman to muscle up a butt again ???
@@ksavage2563 Yes it is absolutely possible with the right nutrition and exercises and dedicatiion.
Thanks so much. I really needed to hear that
Thanks again for the motivational words. I cd really relate
Thanks again for the motivating words. I've been exercising my gluten since I text you 7 days ago. I already see and feel a difference. Love it !!

Recap by Tammy AI
Unnecessary. Timestamps are in the description.
I just love this video! The option to do the bridge using the sofa is really great!
My favourite butt exercise: I learned this from a friend who is a yoga teacher: do the bridge exercise while squeezing a yoga/foam block in between the legs or by just squeezing the knees against each other (feet slightly apart with toes turned inwards and heels a bit outwards). This strengthens the inner thighs and gives extra stability to my pelvis (SI joint issues).
❤️
I'll have to try adding the squeeze. My right SI joint frequently hurts a bit.
Ohhhhh…thank you. My butt looks like a Bayer aspirin pale and flat, it was meant for me to see this video today. 😊❤
Same girl same 😂🙏🏼
@@summerassaf 🤭
🤣🤣🤣 Same here!!!! I'm starting these TODAY!
@@melaniethompson2543
And how's it going? Give some feedback 😉
Bayer asprin! Hahaha I saw the visual immediately!
I've been in physical therapy for about 6 weeks to improve my leg strength. Part of my homework is doing that first exercise twice daily. In that time, my butt has lifted TREMENDOUSLY!!! It's a nice little "perk" (pardon the pun lol).
Dude, you’re awesome. So nice to see someone with a nice personality and human touch in their communication style instead of sounding and looking like a robot. I do this with a Swiss ball under my neck but only because I get really dizzy getting up from the floor cos I have low flood pressure. 🤷🏼♀️
All of these exercises are great. The exercise where you stand on one leg and bend over and hold it is a game changer...I can really feel those muscles firing. And it's so simple! I don't even need to get down on the floor! I'm going to add these to my hip exercises from you as well. I can walk 4 miles, yet standing up after I've been sitting for a few minutes makes me walk like I'm 100 years old. After doing your exercises I can feel the muscles really firing and I now realize that only walking isn't enough. Thanks so much, Matt!
So I'm not the only one! I too walk 4 or 5 miles most mornings but often move like a bent over old crone around the house. Even a 2 minute drive to the grocery store does me in. Walking uphill and walking backwards has helped my hips and butt tremendously but yeah, more work is needed. It just hurts so to do anything but walking!
He’s the booty punch , he like booty science, structure, complexities of the booty
‘Cause we all want a nice, firm, round tushy!! 🍑
I have a question I hope you don't mind. But I feel this one a lot in my thighs, as I'm probably quad dominant. Do you think it will still work? Glad its helped you! x
You sound like someone that needs nordic curls in your life, the best exercise period
Will doing these exercises help build my butt muscle and then help me hold my torso up to stand and walk upright. I was bedridden for 5 years and loss every bit of muscle. I was told I would never get out of bed again but I proved them wrong😊 I just can’t hold my torso up straight over my body. I walk very hunched over. I can hold it up for maybe a min and then I collapse. Trying to figure out what muscle I need to build up again. My butt is flat. I went down to 73 pounds and I’m 5”10 so shows how much muscle I lost. When I try to do a bridge I can lift myself maybe 2 inches:( it’s really bad. I’m so motivated to prove to myself I can do this.
I know I'm late with a reply, but that sounds like a weak core to me. I am no fitness trainer, but I'm thinking if you search up some core exercise that would really help. I hope you're continuing to get healthier and improve on your journey. ❤
That happens to me when something in my lower back goes out , I am not able to the front core access stomach muscles to stand upright have to see chiropractor. Not a Dr too know what muscles in the front of your body this affects, just 10x experienced this. Back muscles only do not seem to be made to stay upright!😮
work your back muscles. the erector spinae muscles, trapezius, rhomboids.
Even though you can only lift a few inches, just keep doing exercises the way Matt said, before long you will be able to lift higher.
Upright health has proper form exercises. Look at his channel
This is like a comedy and health show all in one! Thanks for the tips man
“Sleepy Butt” 🤣 I subscribed immediately after you said that.
Hip thrusts are my favorite as I can do them without aggravating my piriformis or sciatic nerve, which is always a struggle 😊
It took me a couple of minutes to get my posture correct and my weight onto the ball of my foot but once I did I definitely "woke up" a muscle.
Having a mirror to check my posture in is hugely helpful, shifting my weight/hips over the knee was the key. Once I got my posture and hips correct I shifted onto the ball of my foot and BAM!
I'm not sure I've actually contracted that muscle in a decade.
This is a game changer for me! Thank you. Words are not enough.
I'd give you a hug. No H.
Thanks for keeping my butt alive
Does CPR work on butts?
@@Uprighthealth lolx
@@Uprighthealth ew that gave me a gross visual 😂 🌬️🍑😆
Hilarious and informative. I can't wait to incorporate these exercises into my routine. Many thanks!
As a straight dude living in the modern world. I've been looking forward to this video for varying reasons
You are so compelling and this is from a natural-born skeptic! I just believe you. I'm a senior (67) who has NEVER been physically active and now that my body is showing why I should have been, I want to do all that I can to repair the damage as much as possible. I believe your videos will help me. Now I will subscribe. I appreciate your humor as well...I giggled several times. Thank you
I'm a natural born skeptic too. Happy to have won you over. Got LOTS of content to help seniors like you, so get learning and get going!
At 2:30 the exercises start. Great information, glad I found it.
Thank you so much for making this video ! My back was always sore after doing bridges, now I know why😊
You are so great! My daughter is a physical therapist, and I had to send her your link! Not too wordy, a little humor, and great explanations! Thanks!
31 years ago I was almost 31 and bought Jand Fonda's Ultimate Workout VCR. Still easy to do....but she used to say pretend you were squeezing a coin between your butt cheeks. 🤣 Good tips n how to make it harder....because after 60s things get very flabby...even with exercising not being too hard...so best to make them harder..lol.
I was obsessed with Jane's workout in the late 70s and 80s. I had the cassette to follow along with. I finally bought it on dvd about 5 years ago but it is a lot harder for me to keep up with now. Too many stiff and achy parts.
This is the exercise I’ve been looking for ! I’m a 66-year-old woman and have always had a nice bubble butt ! but since I’ve lost weight and I’ve gotten older,I have noticed my butt has gotten flatter. I’ve been doing squats thinking that would help but listening to this video it’s not the best exercise for the results I want so I will have to try these exercises that you are given us and see how it works for me !Thanks !
Man, I can definitely identify with this having a butt and then being buttless. And of course it was my girlfriends at different times who made me aware of that. I’m 60 now, buttless again, and having major hip pain diagnosed as “severe osteoarthritis of both hips”.
When I was young, I was heavily into Tae Kwon Do and my girlfriend at the time said I had a really nice butt. (Girls are weird).
Then I became a bicycle racer and still got comments on my nice butt. This whole time, I never had any hip pain. Then I became a semi-professional surfer, and again, I still had a nice butt and no hip pain. In my 40’s I started slowing down the intense physical activity to spend time with my new family. I think that’s when I started losing my butt, but of course I didn’t notice, my wife did.
She said when she met me, I had a nice butt, but five years later, I didn’t have a butt at all. Still no hip pain, just buttless.
At 59 years old, my right hip started hurting and then it was continuous pain, and now at 60, it’s extreme continuous pain.
I’ve been doing a bunch of the hip exercises that I learned here, but today I learned that to really get better, I need my butt back.
And while following along this evening, yep, my butt is much weaker than I imagined and I didn’t even notice it happening through the years. So thank you for this rude awakening and I’m adding these butt exercises to my daily routine. Can’t wait to walk without a limp again and old ladies staring at my new butt.
Aloha 🤙🏼
Excellently clear and comprehensive presentatiin !
Definitely am incorporating this into my exercised to regain a strong, well aligned, properly functional foundation. Am 72, retired and ready to become more fit and full of grace.
People like me need to work on strengthening the core first, enough to be able to do anything like here. Creepy Vincent's video on this channel, about strengthening the core, "How to activate the glutes - the most overlooked thing you MUST do" is a great starting point. I am still on the first exercise, the supine 90-90. It will take me a while to move, but I am patient. At least I feel activation in areas that felt hopeless 'till now.
Thank you guys!
Ballet helped me best for my butt to be bigger and firmer. And it's great for abs, legs, arms and good posture too.
Plies are great for your glutes (butt)!
What a fun personality! Thank you for the great information and making us smile!
I’m SO glad I found your channel. Fantastic explanation and demonstration. You rock!
I do these already but you taught how to do them better! Fantastic instructor!!! Thank you! ❤
Matt, I love your videos. Thank you so much.
Love the title! And the lessons. I’m in same boat. 47 years old and hip and knee problems abounding. Until I started squats and leg exercises. Groundedness. Root chakra.
I haven't heard the word 'butt' this many times before😅😅😂😂. However I must say that he is so genuine, no need of Yoga mat just do these simple exercises and remember to take it slow. Great 💯
I shared this video with my son-An Asia. With a BIG, ROUNDED booty, due to being a roller hockey goalie for years!
Mine, on the other hand, have a senior flat pancake. Please share more exercises to uplift, shape and grow our 3 x gluteus muscles.
Arigato!
Janet I am a 71 year old grandma and my butt was flat also. 12 weeks later, I am able to do hip bridges. Now I will be adding some weight.
love the way you teach with humor as well as explanation.
Once you feel ready to move on, glute biased Bulgarian split squats (bend at the hips, keeping your spine straight) have been a pretty great glute workout for me
Thankyou Matt will try this now,anything you say l do ,you helped heal my knee!
Happy to have helped! If you'd like to share your story, please do so here! testimonial.to/upright-health
Omg! I Just tried the standing exercise! Amazing. Thank you!
I’m a retired nurse- qualified personal trainer- stretcher-certification in nutrition ,I’m a Gemini and we can’t help it ,after 7 years of one thing we move on to the neck. You are my new hero and Jude to medical reasons I lost a lot of glut Maximus, so I do squats e.c.t now you show me these 3 new exercises ans I’m so impressed and thankful for ur sharing in such a clear manner( gifted ) amm☘️
These are excellent pelvic floor exercises, especially for men!!
Great video as always 👏🏽👏🏽
Wow! Can’t wait to start these … thank you 🙏🏼 😊
Thumbs up, not for the exercise, (it's good, I did all those over years and they work, but 3 time a week between 20-30 reps in 3 series) but because I've been feeling the same as you did when you started to think to get your "butt" back to its previous glory. Thank you 🙂
Great video! In reading some of the comments, Wanted to add that feet position plays a big part in which muscles you feel and activate. Keeping your legs at 90° will help activate more glute. The closer your feet to butt, more quads and the further your feet from butt, more hamstrings.
My butt dropped/sagged before my hip replacement surgery and after surgery the hip thrust/ glute squeeze, bridge and squat exercises are a part of the therapy. I need to focus on keeping my back flatter during the bridge cause I find my back hurting afterwards. 👍🏾
❤appreciate all the details of such moves to do the exercises correctly 🙏🏻🎉
Thank U 🙌🏽 You explained it very well. Your voice is calm, soothing and made me want to listen🎉
I'm a 54 yo lady. Used to do regular workouts. I broke my left ankle nov last year. And this first exercise was one of exercises the therapist gave me to strength hip & thigh.. before
Awesome! I feel inspired to awaken my butt. I've been doing sumo bridges, clam bridges, donkey curls, hydrants, squats and assorted butt exercises for over a month but I never feel any day after burn in my butt, only in my thighs. So I gotta work on my form. And find a spare curtain rail. I'm fighting small butt genetics here, but hey, at the very least I'm getting nice legs out of it.
Again and again, SUPER. Thank you.
Great instructions esp for those that have difficulty w bridge pose . Older now & many sports injuries so I need this . My husband is Asian n loved the story 😊of the girls . ❤😊
That second exercise is brilliant! I've been having a hard time building up my hiney but I think this might just do the trick! I'm going to do this exercise every day and see what happens. Thank you so much!!!
New subby here. Thank you for these. I’ve been working at getting healthy and stronger. These will help. 💜
The second exercise I’ve never seen before. Awesome. And very detailed 😊
How does. This. Help you loose weight
I. Got. Too. Get. Rid. Of belly. Fat
Great and very comprehensive video. Thank you!
These are great!!! I am feeling really challenged and my knee is snap, crackling and popping in my knee with the glute hinge. Can’t wait to get stronger.
Very helpful, simple, and funny.👍
Tq for the detail explanations. Been trying countless exercises which don't explain the mechanics n ended up with bulky thighs but still no butt! Will definately try these n come back here to update in a couple of months😊
So how did it go?? 😁👍
I am just seeing this video - I am going to do this in my Strength and Core class this week.
Thank you for this awesome and informative instruction. Will email you how it turned out 😃
You are very detailed. I have been exercising for years but no videos show how to perform each exercise correctly like you do. Thank you.
You made me laugh so hard. Thank you. Take care, be well
I've noticed the same thing. I did some form of exercise my entire life but after the pandemic and over the past few months I didn't do much and lost a lot of muscle, especially in my butt and wow, the pain in my hip and knee made me jump butt first back into the gym. Slowly working my way back into a routine
Thank you for this. A member just asked me how to get her butt back. She is 79 & very active. I will advise her of these 2 exercises.
Thank you Sir. I'm 73 now and I needed someone to help me get my flex back. Thks again.😊
I love every second of all your videos but this one is my favourite by far haha, thank you for a laugh and for educating me! 😊
You're so welcome!
Thank You 😊🙏
Just discovered your channel! You’re funny and these are great exercises (and direction). Also, what brand are your shoes? They’re adorable
Im not actually traning my butt but since I started to take martial arts seriously, doing a lot of different back and sidekick exercises my butt has better than ever, better than when I was doing heavy leg workout in the gym. I dont know, maybe it is that I do those kick exercises much more often than a leg day at the gym, often I kick daily, just nice slow sidekick variations, lef raises, keeping your foot as high as ossible as long as possbile.. I really get my butt burning eith those exercises and I can feel my butt pumpin up better than ever.
So glad I found you! You are fun, funny and educational! Thank you!
I used to ride dirt bikes and play street hockey also in my early twenties. My butt was complimented as well. Started really focusing on work and riding street bikes and lost my butt. Newest girl also mentioned missing butt.
Thanks for exercises.
Bridges! Yes. And poking is good for brain body connect! Thank you for all you do!
You are so welcome!
Clamshells are my favorite to fire up my glutes.
Wow, I’m so glad I found this channel. All my life I’ve been told that I have flat butt like my mother, so I’ve kind of accepted it as normal (and I’m not Asian lol). I’m excited about implementing this exercise into my workout routine. I’ll keep you updated on my progress!
Gloria Cote here. I love your personality and your humor. LOL several times. My but having it's own Instagram channel. Priceless.
Haha! I'm in the non athletic crowd lol! But I do like to exercise. I hate bridges but still do them. Sofa bridge? Heck yeah, I need to try that! And can't wait to try the hip hinge. I've realized I need to cut back on exercise, I finally figured out I'm doing too much too often and always in pain. 😁 Thanks for the validation and great tips Matt!
This is a Good video. Thank you! 🙏☯️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! These are simple exercises that work.
These are the perfect solution because I'm balanced challenged. There's plenty for me to work on while on my back doing bridges, etc. and standing while holding the back of a chair. You have no idea how long I've wanted to firm up my but after losing weight. Good man, you!
I get painful cramping in the back of my thigh when I try to do bridges. I've been following you, your videos and doing several of the exercises to strengthen my legs after arthroscopic knee surgery two months ago. Everything is going very well but those cramps in the back of my thighs when trying to do a bridge is stopping me. What can I do?
you should try a massage gun and see if those muscles are actually knotted and tight.
i was working on stretching for years and couldnt get anywhere, but i used a massage gun, and i realized that my legs were all knotted up and atrophied.
Matt, any thoughts on times when our hamstrings might start compensating and how to shift that to refocus the action back to the glutes?
not matt but you could try a more rotated externally stance, Leg in External rotation = more glute bias, Second thing is using a loop band around just above knees to force more glute activation. You could also make sure to do some sort of abductor warm up to prime the glutes. Doing the opposite of the above would bias the hamstrings, Internal rotation, squeeze ball between knees, & warm up adductors.
@@thund3rzzz813 Thank you. For all the training I have in bodywork and movement, it's funny how it can go out the window on things for myself when it's me doing them. It seems to happen most when doing bridge type exercise. I also used to use a block between my knees and that used to help. It doesn't happen all the time, so I think maybe doing it consistently for a while might get the correct group used to firing on the regular.
@@yootoob1001001 squeezing block between knees will bias hamstrings & spinal erectors over the glutes in bridges. Bridges is a tricky exercise if you are lacking the hip extension mobility or you have knee instability issues with foot to hip stacking due to some valgus/varus issues which is usually intensified with a wider more externally rotated glute biased stance. Also are you pushing into the ground or pulling back with your heels, eitehr can bias the glute vs hamstring, sometimes it helps to focus on squeezing a penny between your butt cheek as you go up. Also if you tend to hyper extend the back it can help to practice posterior tilting the pelvis before you bridge up and supplement with ab strengthening exercise and perhaps light lower back stretch
Thank you for sharing this!!
Excellent. Thank you
I didn’t know I had no butt until I lose a 100lbs years ago. Felt like it was just my back then a hole at the bottom lol. Legs were super skinny too. Even felt my tailbone when I sat. I was so self conscious I gained a bunch of that weight back. Always do legs/glutes exercises, you don’t know what you’re actually working with until the weight comes off.
Ahhh your description made me laugh. I want to lose weight and am scared of the final results if I do it wrong.
@@Ok-KB I mean in hindsight I wish I would have stayed skinny and worked on building my butt up. If I had advice I would workout everything and don’t lose it too fast.
@@creyes4182 I need a work out regimen. I just hate it lol but I will keep that in mind, thank you!
Would it not be fun and motivating to find an activity that uses those muscles. Depending on the person, maybe start playing hockey, or ballroom dancing, or some kind of martial arts. I watch these videos and incorporate these exercises to keep me running injury free now that I am in my 50's. I take a pilates class so I can belly dance.
Thank you so much for these moves. Can’t wait to get started
Omg!! I loved your video!! Thank you so much!!
I do bridges and step ups with weights.
What kind of shoes are those?
Your story is hilarious. I’m an Asian America female, 53 years old, and a former figure skater. I still have a rockin’ butt and very muscular legs. Men (and women) complement me all the time. Skating really uses the butt and leg muscles which persists into adulthood. I too am dealing with hip and lower body pain and injury. My physical therapist has me strengthening by gluts, hamstrings, and making sure that my pelvis is not anteriorly tilted. So with your exercises I make sure that I’m contracting my core with your exercises to avoid the anterior tilt.
Awesome !Thanks for detailed info for the correct form.😊
