Healthier Hips and a Better Butt

One of the first things we look at when a new client comes in is how well their hips are working for them. When the hips are not functioning properly, it can lead to the hip joint wearing out prematurely, knee problems, foot issues, and a low back that stays painful all the time. Muscle imbalance of the hips is common and often leads a person to overuse their lumbar spine. When we identify just how the hips need to be stretched and strengthened and give the right exercises, the imbalance goes away.

After the hips have been corrected or if the client comes in functioning properly, we move into exercises that continue to increase the function of the hips, but also focus on the best aesthetic development of the glutes … aka, the butt, the booty, the bum, and the junk in the trunk. A great looking butt is something that you should want, not only to turn peoples’ heads, but it a great indication that your hips are at their optimal level of function.

To see an exercises that can take your bum to the “boom boom pow” (as the Black Eyes Peas would say) that it should be, take a look at the following video. In the video, Marty Linclau-Miller, Human Performance Consultant, is demonstrating a Stability Ball Hip Extension. You can also go to our Longevity Studios YouTube Channel to view more exercises.
