Workouts

Your glutes are the biggest muscle in your body and they have a few important roles. You might be wondering… what is glute activation and why is it so important?

Whether you’re heading home for Christmas or on a late fall vacation, the final weeks of December are the busiest travel time of the year. Our normal routines get completely thrown out the window when traveling and while you may not have access to a gym that doesn’t mean your workout routine has to fall by the wayside.

Most things you do with a dumbbell or barbell can be done with a powerband. Will a resistance band deadlift give you exactly the same strength stimulus as a loaded barbell on the platform? Of course not. But that's not necessarily a downside. In fact, I would argue that the main benefit of powerbands is the way they provide a different stimulus to your muscles throughout your range of motion.

Resistance band training has long been known for quick results without all the fuss. You don’t need heavy weights and a gym to see inches melt away. You can become strong and get into shape quicker than you might think.

Glute Activation and why should include them in your workouts. Glute activation exercises are something that I include in almost every one of my sessions with my personal training clients. I wasn’t surprised to discover when I started working with my trainer that she was on board the glute activation train too. We do a lot of it in our sessions.
