.charleeatkins & PrimalPowerFitt explain why activating your glutes is important before weightlifting 🏋🏻♀️
Activating your glutes is basically a wake-up call to your muscles. Charlee explained,"Every workout should begin with activation and mobility drills that will mimic or use the muscles in patterns that will be the focus of your strength-training session. Activations are used to 'prime,' or 'prep' the body for a load." It's kind of like warming the car up in the winter, she told POPSUGAR.
James said it's important to fire up your glutes before any kind of strength workout because of the prime role they play in many multi-joint movements."Whether you're doing squats, deadlifts,, overhead pressing, or even benching, you should warm up and activate your glutes," he said, explaining that one of the glute muscles' main functions is the extension of the hips, which we can see in most lower-body movements.
"When performing compound motions that are complex, even though some muscles work to move the weight or resistance around, others are firing simply to stabilize your body in motion," James explained."In amotion, even though the shoulders, triceps, and deltoids are working hard to push the weight, the glutes should be squeezing alongside your core to enable less stress on your low back.
