Glute Activation 101
Something different today, a video post. No time to write and this was faster. Excuse my extreme Aussie accent that I didn’t realise I had until I heard myself. Quality isn’t there sometimes but I think you get the drift. Enjoy. Feedback would be nice…more or less video posts?

Glad to see you posting again! I was missing your posts a lot.
I liked the video post, but if you could combine writing and video, I think that would be most effective. Your intro on the video could have been written, and then the video part used just to demonstrate it. I like video better than the still pic’s b/c you can see the motion!
Keep posting!
That’s not an extreme Aussie accent!
You need to work on drawling out your vowels a little more.
ps
I liked the video.
Great tips, I’m going to try them before my weights session tonight!
@ Cecily T
Thanks for the tip, was actually going to do that..got lazy! next time
@thefightgeek
Yeah I think I sound weird but some close friends said thats how I speak….hmmm
@Erin
Let me know if you feel your butt fire up!
Cheers guys
More videos definitely! With practice the videos will get better, I think the low light levels or your black t-shirt may have been giving the autofocus some trouble.
I prefer hosting on http://vimeo.com/ - I find it faster and its much clearer.
Now I need someone to stand on my butt.
Yeh I was inspired to do it at night,and it is pretty bad lighting here. I’m back in Aus pretty soon and my place there is a little brighter! Thanks for the tips, I don’t know anything about cameras…and this was just a basic digital camera too. Cheers for the link I’ll have a look. Good luck finding someone to stand on you!
I LOVE IT!
and now I get why my readers like the facetime monday posts the best.
theres something about SEEING YOU which is more motivating!

Lauren, I have a question. I have no problem with forward lunges but reverse lunges seem to be more difficult for me. I’m going to work on this. Can you explain to me the different muscles used for the two and which muscles are weak. There must be an imbalance and I’d like to know which muscle it is. I hope you can help. Thanks!
Hi Renee
reverse lunges are a little more difficult balance wise but generally use the same muscle groups. I find they activate your butt a lot better because you have to switch it on to take your leg behind you. therefore it gets activated straight away. I’m not sure you necessarily have an imbalance, but you may just be used to forward lunges, they are a much more common movement, the reverse lunge challenges your balance a little more. i also find they get a better hip flexor stretch, same reason, you activate your glutes straight away and therefore turn off your hip flexors and get them to relax.
hope that helps
Thanks for your response, I’ll keep at it. I have done a lot more forward lunges in the past.
Cute accent and great tips Lauren.
Glad I found this site
Great advice! For us visual learners this is a great addition!
Sweet accent!
Hey, nice video.
I haven’t used the exercises myself yet(I just did some bridges) but I will try them later.
Keep the vids coming.
Video no longer available
i’m still getting it
Hmmm odd. It’s working for me now too…
Great tips, keep em coming!
I remember as a child listening to a recording of myself for the first time. An incredibly thick New York accent came out from the tape deck and I was surprised. I must have said something like; ‘I don’t sound like that’, because one of the older kids laughed and said that it was a tape and that was exactly what I sounded like. To this day I remember how strange it was that in my head I sounded completely different.
Cherish your accent though, it is what makes you unique and keeps the world interesting.
Anyway great post, I enjoy your approach to fitness in that it focuses on being flexible and strong throughout your body. As opposed to just focusing in on getting bigger biceps and what not. Thanks.
no worries thanks for the kind words…I just hope I have the time soon to post a little more!
