TRX Glute Activation Squat HD

The TRX Glute Activation Squat is ideal for teaching someone how to activate their glutes. Glute activation is critical for squatting and deadlifting. You perform these moves whenever you pick up/put down items from/to the floor, squat to tie your shoe, pick up a child or pet, sitting down on furniture or even getting in and out of your car. Glute activation is critical for slowing you down when landing from a jump as well as propelling you up stairs. Many people with knee pain often find relief once they start training their glutes due to their quads getting help from the glutes in raising and lowering the body. When your quads do most of the lifting, instead of your glutes they pull excessively on the patellar tendon, which puts a lot of pressure on the patella. If this pressure is not reduced, then it can cause the back of the patella to wear down causing pain. The TRX Glute Activation Squat allows the user to utilize their glutes by leaning back and holding onto the handles. This allows the glutes to be pushed back behind the body while squatting and also allows the shins to stay more perpendicular to the ground. This is just one move on the TRX that can help with Glute activation. Stay tuned for more TRX Glute activating moves.
