Glute Activation 1.0
There are three main muscles that I will be targeting; gluteus maximus (makes up the overall shape of your backside), your gluteus medius, and your gluteus minimus (two smaller muscles that help the gluteus maximus move your body).

When our glutes are ‘inactive’ it can mean that the muscles are weak and are not aiding in advanced body movement. The best way to do this is with a resistance band, although these exercises can be used without one. Adding resistance bands to our workout helps build strength in different muscle groups throughout our upper and lower bodies. Here are some exercises to help get you started:
