IS YOUR POSTURE SABATOGING YOUR GLUTE GAINS?
What no one tells you about why your glutes stop responding.
I know I am not the only one who will be mindlessly washing dishes and suddenly notice that my glutes are clenched for dear life and my hips are thrust forward.
And the reason I know I am not alone is because I see women in this position all the time.
Standing in line at the grocery store, talking to a friend at the park, leaning over the countertop chopping vegetables.
And of course, this posture becomes even more pronounced during pregnancy or with postpartum baby-wearing.
Standing like this might feel more stable in the moment.
We can thrust our pelvis forward and “lock out” on our ligaments.
BUT, it often comes at a price.
This position shifts our center of mass forward and externally rotates our pelvis.
Think of it like the top of your pelvis opening up while the base gets smaller.
If you have ever felt like you just cannot quite connect with your glutes no matter what you do, this might be exactly why.
Have you ever heard the phrase “mom butt?”
Herein lies the culprit!
In order to effectively target our glutes, we need to be able to do the opposite.
We need to OPEN the base of the pelvis, moving our “sit bones” away from one another. This requires the ability to lengthen and release through the glutes, the deep hip muscles, and the pelvic floor.
So, it really all comes back to the CORE!
Your pelvic floor is the base of your core system.
If you want to squat and hinge with your GLUTES, your pelvic floor must be able to lengthen and release.
And that is exactly what we train inside Loa.
If you are ready to stop squeezing and start actually feeling your glutes again, the Core Connect program inside Loa was built for exactly this.
It is where all these concepts come to life through real movement, breathwork and education that will genuinely change how you feel in your body.
