When your glutes and abs work together, the benefits are undeniable. They provide a strong foundation for better posture, improved stability, and increased power in all movements. Balancing the strength of your abs and glutes is essential for preventing issues like hip and lower back pain. Kelsey Wells, a personal trainer for the Sweat app, emphasizes the importance of training all muscle groups to avoid imbalances and reduce the risk of injury.
Join the movement with this 20-minute workout designed by Wells to target your glutes and abs for total-body strength. Follow along with our October 2024 Movement of the Month Club for the exercises, each to be done for 60 seconds (or 30 seconds on each side) for 3 rounds.
The workout includes exercises like glute bridges, dead bugs, dumbbell deadlifts, weighted scissor kicks, squat pulses, heel taps, and oblique crunches. These exercises focus on activating and strengthening these muscle groups for a well-rounded workout. Don’t underestimate the simplicity of these exercises, as they are effective in enhancing core stability and building strength in key areas.
