Loved the tips! I would love to see more videos like this for upper back exercises. I find it challenging to connect mind - muscle to my upper back.
Thank you for this feedback! We have quite a few videos on back for now, you’re welcome to search through “upper back” on our videos. I also have a PT app where you can do the same! Jen.health has a sale until 6/19
Thanks for the video. If the main issue is that getting back up from the bottom of squat position requires using hands to push up and thrust back up... So will this exercise help in getting back up without using the hands/arms thrust?
It could definitely help you start to work back in that direction. It might take time, but with consistency you could start to see a difference
Thank you. Working on Split Squats!! Seeking your Guidance ~ 😅
Im glad! Tell me how it goes :)
I struggle to activate/engage my glutes or keep them activated/engaged in multiple yoga poses.
Hopefully this helps you start to find some of that connection!
I have had pain from my sit bones. Can you tell me how be free of this?
Hmm tough to say without knowing more of the root cause. Depends on if this happens when you are sitting, standing, or maybe right when you get up from sitting. Working on the hamstrings and exploring that could be a good start. Check this out: ruclips.net/video/_5vq20QwDhc/видео.html
I struggle so much with this, I always feel squats on my quads and I have a hard time lifting my booty and getting hamstrings to work and grow, my lower butt looks droopy 😭😭🫣
You’re definitely not alone! Hoping these tips help you out a bit.
Yes Doc💪👍 other exercises with this topic
Thank you! I’ll make sure to keep this in mind!
Thanks, Doc Jen. Yes, I do have some questions: 1) when you say to press your feet into the floor in order to feel the glutes, is it the whole foot, or a part of the foot such as the heel. Also: should you feel it in your calves when you press your foot into the floor? 2) when you do videos and say, "tighten your glutes" I'm never sure about exactly when to start the glute tightening and when to STOP the activation. 3) If you could do some basic movements that require glute activation and (for the purpose of the video for those of us who don't feel the activation) do some slow, repetitive movements and clearly show at what part of the movement to start the activation and when to stop--and also when NOT to activate the glutes. 4. How to break the (decades) habit of clenching the glutes to stabilize us? If not the glutes, what part of the body has to be activated to feel stable??? Thanks so much.
Thanks for the questions! I'll try quickly answering them best I can:
1) I like to focus on pushing my whole foot into the ground so I'm using the entire base of support I have rather than one area.
2) I guess this depends based on the movement. In reality, our glutes will always be active to some degree. I like to try and "feel" the activation in my glutes during an entire squat from standing, all the way down, and then especially on the way back up. However, the degree of the activation might change throughout.
3) Great point. Some good exercises to try out would be a bridge movement and even a cat-cow type exercise.
4) I think this could be a few different things by I will often find that people could develop a better core/hip integration. We need to make sure we have dynamic core control to help with stabilization of the pelvis so that we don't feel the need to clench the glutes to have that stability.
Did these for first time but still didn’t feel any glute activation. I just don’t know what I am doing wrong. I never felt any glute activation years ago either when I was squatting with a 400 lb barbell on my back. Plenty of quad and hamstring activation, though. Trying now to get back to where I can do a good squat with ANY (as in, at least SOME) weight on my back. I guess I have some learning to do.
Hi, same I'm very quads dominant. Another of her videos helped me it's what she mentioned also here: I focus on my feet, more on my heels. I imagine I'm literally going through the floor below, it helped a lot! Then I squeeze once standing as if I want my glutes to detach up from my quads if that make sense lol
We hear this a ton and I know it can be frustrating. Especially when we are forming those neural connections, it can really just take some dedicated and consistent work. I'm sure you will start to feel that connection with time!
I love this and can't wait to try it with my clients! You're awesome as always ❤
Thank you so much!
I still don’t know what to do about my bad knees and squats or lunges
We have these two other videos that talk about knee pain or pain with squats:
