The Glute med is one of the top muscle that needs to be strong. Its #1 job is to hold your pelvis in place. They are like the walls of your pelvis. If your walls are weak or imbalanced, then the pelvis will be off. If the pelvis is out, then everything above and below is compromised because the connecting “floor” is off balance.
Be careful when lifting your leg and down as it is very easy to cheat by rolling your body backward or bending your knee. Only raise your leg as high as the form allows. When you get the form down on this one, you will know as a wonderful burning sensation will come over your hips. 😉
Parameters:
- Work up to 50 reps in each position. 100 if you have had a hip replacement. 3 X each side
- Keep that leg turned in, or you will end up working a different muscle…badly.
