Rump Shaker

I am leaning this training for my back recovery. So many things to learn for my exercise. This page came up during my search. I inserted some links which would help me to remember.
(Click this link if you want to read it in the original website of Rump Shaker)

Your glutes are the biggest and most important muscle you have – they are the cornerstone of our bodies. The harder you work your glutes and the more you build them, the more it will benefit your body. Your glutes help keep your hips and entire body in alignment and allow good posture.
Your glutes are instrumental in rotating your hips and legs while supporting your pelvis during everyday movements and exercise. If your glutes aren’t strong enough, your spine has to over-compensate (hence the back pain). In addition, weak glutes cause weaknesses in your knees – causing them to turn inward when landing on the ground and placing additional pressure on your kneecaps. This can also affect your IT band – the ligament that runs outside of the thigh from the hip to the shin.
The dilemma is in the modern day scenario, we are often sitting so much on our rears we are not activating them enough and they lose strength. Without active, strong glutes, we experience an imbalance in the front vs. back side of our body. This leaves the hip flexors overactive and tight and pulls your pelvis forward.
What to do, what to do….
Work ‘em. Added bonus – since your glute muscles are so large, working them (as with working other large muscle groups) raises your metabolic rate.
Excellent glute strengthening exercises include:

• Squats (part 1 of the link) load up on the weight so your body works harder and go deep for a full extension!
• Lunges (part 2 of the link above) – do repetitive lunges on one leg, then switch
• Squeezing your glutes when you work out – keep the contraction tight at all times (when you lift up from that squat)
• Contracting your glutes when you are standing (all those soccer games will pay off exponentially if you work your rear while watching)
• One-leg exercises (one-leg squats and lunges will work your muscle 1/3 as hard)
• Bridges – lie on your back and perform double and single leg bridges (squeezing your glutes the entire time you lower and raise)
• One-leg step-ups onto an elevated surface (step/bench, etc) – squeeze at the top of your raise
• Bulgarian split squats (See in YouTube how to do)– put your back toward a weight bench and lift one foot onto the bench behind you and squat
• Kettlebell swings (again, squeezing tight at the top of the movement)
• Side walking squats (with a band around your legs) – squat low!

Try these exercises as frequently as possible to help improve the activation of your glute muscles and in turn, see the difference in your post rump shakin’. You’re welcome
