There’s a common misconception that you must tuck your hips under and thrust them forward when you stand up from a squat in order to engage the Glutes. This is will not only decrease the effectiveness of the exercise but potentially cause injury to the back and knees putting undue pressure in your joints.
Did you know you can squeeze your Glutes to extend your hips ‘aka stand up’ by engaging your inner thighs as if you we squeezing a small yoga ball between your thighs. There’s no need to tuck the hips when using this technique. And your spine remains in a safe neutral position throughout the exercise. This will create a lifted ‘shelf-like’ booty!!
