This is actually extremely effective, for anyone who has any doubts. I’ve been doing a strength training program for a couple of weeks now but always struggle with actually FEELING my glutes working during training. Last night I did a couple of these exercises (single leg wall lean & clam) for 30 seconds on each side, and let me tell you, I felt the burn. Those 2 simple exercises totally fired up my glutes in preparation to my actual workout, and I felt my glutes working more than ever before. Today my glutes are actually sore! I will continue doing those 2 exercises before my training and expect to see good results with time and consistency. ETA: Just wanted to update; I still do these before my workouts (3-4x/week). It’s only been 2 months but I feel like my workouts are starting to pay off. Of course it takes time and consistency to grow muscles, so any gains I have made at this point are small, but I am amping up my protein intake as well as adding a booty specific program into my routine and will continue doing activation exercises before 😃

I just recently lost 57 lb and lost my rear end completely. I've just started these and been doing them for about a week and I've already noticed a difference! Thank you so much Koko! I was mortified at the fact that I'd lost everything from behind. This is really started to build my self-esteem back. ❤❤❤
Hey what did you do to lose 57 pounds that’s amazing I currently weigh 185 and my goal is to lose 50 please share your thoughts and how long did it take u much love ❤️
@@lisaebene4014no, the fat was natural but her glutes were made of mainly fat and she lost it and now she has more muscle than fat in her glutes so they're small
Oh my God you have no idea how much I am thankful to you and this particular episode because I’m loosing the ability to walk and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong and my doctor just kept giving me bursa injections in my thighs and hips that are beyond painful 😖 and my Gluteus Maximus is beautiful but the Gluteus Medius is completely messed up. All the weakness and unstable walking I know will improve rebuilding the Medius…thank you I will be doing this and seeing the improvement in walking and sleeping on my sides. You should have been paid all that money I spent on painful steroid bursa injections. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All my life I've been called thick and felt confident about my booty. I just turned 35 and WFH full-time. I've noticed the past couple of years that my butt is getting flatter and my hip dips more prominent. My back pain has gotten worse. I've noticed how much muscle I'm started to lose and realized I need to do something. These exercises are perfect and have me excited! Looks simple yet effective and you are so right. Just a few mins a day and I can start waking my lower body up again. Thank you! 💖🙏🏽
You could set an hourly timer and do these 4 minute exercises so you are getting a break from screen time too. Maybe not the clam shells but you could do those in the evening whilst lying on the couch watching TV. Swap sides at each commercial break or when your episode ends/get back from toilet break etc.
Omg....ever since I had double miniscus surgery on my leg...i came out of surgery with HORRIBLE back pain. After a year with a GOOD chiro still weak and NOW I understand WHY. I am so gonna follow you. I am 53 and I am CONVINCED I can get back to NO knee, lower back and hip pain! Thank you!

@@dixiewilson2410 Good videos on YT on how to incl them in exercising. A younger GF and single mom to now 5 yo has done it from the start. Works FT and Bio dad helps. She jumps on backyard trampoline w/him for 15-30 min most morn. When he was younger she learned to use him in workouts, take him to the park (lifting, pushing swing, running), HIT w/him in stroller etc. Chasing after an active child IS a workout. One of the best. 😉🙏 Good luck momma!
Thank you for clearing up why my back pain suddenly subsided, as I recently started to incorporate some of these movements into my morning routine. Very informative. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏾
As a massage therapist I always encourage my clients to look into hip exercises before thinking it is all in their back. Some Doctors are also real quick to suggest surgery
I have had a hip issue for over a decade and not one single professional has ever explained what to do and why. With this new knowledge, I hope to regain my mobility. Thank you!
All the women in my family for three generations that I know about have had “hip” issues starting in the mid-50s. NOOO!! It is flat-butt issues that CAUSE hip and IT band issues!!!😢 I am half-way through this video, learning what to do. I pray this helps me!!
I have nerve damage from a back injury. I went from a little bubble butt to flat on the left side and no muscle strength. I felt my muscles "wake up" after one session with these suggestions!! I am hoping to be able to gain some of my muscle strength back! THANK YOU!!
Do you have an update? I lost 45lbs, losing some butt as well.. I just started this one week ago. Hopefully I can lift what is now sagging 😢 if it's possible
My round booty was my signature until I lost 60 lbs at the age of 70! Was surprised I lost it, but delighted to find a way to get it back! Thanks I'll try these.
@Ariana Gandhi What a snarky, negative comment to make! Sweetheart, do you think YOU will be “preparing for your grave” at age 70?! I’m 67, have recently lost 30 lbs & feel better than I have in years, and my grave is a LONG way off. Still a lotta life left in us “OLD” gals. I bet Robin feels the same way. So move on with your nasty comments…positivity keeps you YOUNG!! Namaste
Been doing a couple of these every day for about a week and I'm already starting to see results. Gonna have to add some resistance to my clamshells soon.
I do mine while I brush my teeth. Brushing your teeth is so boring, why not work out at the same time? Thanks for the great info! The clam exercise made me tear up just watching you. A car accident, years ago, prevents me from doing strenuous exercise. Used to work out like crazy when I was young like you! God bless and keep you❣️
@Marisa Pinkarisa I have dealt with fluorosis since childhood. My dad mistakenly believed fluoride strengthened teeth, like so many others. We lived in Colorado Springs where the fluoride was already high. He had my mother buy fluoride supplemented water to make formula. I suffer pain, dental issues and more from it. There are warnings on toothpaste saying not to swallow. If it’s in your mouth you are absorbing it. I use Lumi deoderant. I really like it. I learned about the aluminum years ago. I use the microwave for popcorn and melting butter for baking. Thats about it. It kills any nutrients in your food. It releases toxins in plastics. You should never heat up a baby bottle in the microwave. You are kind to take time to tell others about these dangers. They are very bad and many still do not know! It’s like aspartame!! It puts holes in the brain! Our food has been modified to the point our bodies barely recognize it as food anymore. The more processed food we eat the more time our bodies spend in a fight or flight type of mode. The body responds as though it is under attack and stores calories. This is why organic veggies are so important. They give the body permission to let go of stored garbage and time to heal and rejuvenate. Micronutrients are vital to fight cancer and obesity. Intermittent fasting has been proven to prevent cancer. This means eating once in a 24 hour time frame. Allowing the body to eat existing fat and discard free radicals. It also resets the metabolism and the way we feel hunger. Anywhoo, thats a lot of info too. Maybe someone was praying for an answer to something? Blessings!
I remember that clam exercise from one of my physical therapy sessions last year. When I was younger, I didn't think much about glute exercises, but I sure think about them a lot more now, as I got older and have visibly lost muscle tone that I had taken for granted. I think a lot of my low back pain might also be from weak glutes. Thank you for all these great exercise suggestions.
I've lost weight , which has been great and I had a great booty "HAD" I lost my booty, so now I need to do these exercises to build it up. Thank you for this!
Me too! I lost 40 lbs and sooooo much of my butt that I'm devastated...not to mention I'm recovering from rotor cuff repair...but I'm here to tell you that I will begin these exercises TU-DAY! 😁
Okay listen I just found this video/you. Listen. I can’t even right now. I have hip pain all the time and I’m shooketh!! I did the sissy swing while watching the rest of the video until I got to the pelvic drop then I switched to that one. (The sissy swing WAS tricky for my painful hip.) I’m about to cry. It’s first thing in the morning, straight out the bed with my normal daily pain; I do these exercises for less than 5 minutes and I can tell already it’s helping with the pain/ about to change my… no, HAS ALREADY changed my life. I’m so grateful for the teaching at the beginning and the accessibility of these simple exercises. THANK YOU 😭
These are all the exercises i did after my hip surgery in 2017. I am a massage therapist and personal trainer as well, I highly recommend these exercises. They definitely WAKE up your muscles. If you dont have the mind to muscle connection you wont get results, these exercises she has will definitely do that. I think I got a better booty after surgery, lol. I often go back to my pt exercises. The wall one you can also put a pillow on the wall and bend the standing leg when you get stronger, like doing the running man leaning into the wall. Awesome video 🥰
@@winnerwinnerchickendinnertehe you are very welcome. Hope the video inspired you to take longer walks, or hikes. If not you can start before the Easter Bunny gets here😉
Why did you need hip surgery cause my hips and lower back hurts at times but I believe it's do to being overweight and now that I'm loosing weight I feel better but still get lower back pain
I love that you talk about the whole body, and not over-doing it as you build strength! It’s so important to get good advice like this when beginning with fitness, thanks!
Gonna give it a 30-day whirl with before and after pics. At soon to be 62, I'm looking reasonably forward to positive results. Not tryna be 30-looking or younger rather as fit as I can be for my stature and efforts. This looks promising 😍☺️
Thank you. Glad you mentioned weak muscle cautions. I had hip surgery and they are weak, now I know why my surgeon said not to do those movements. Working my muscles back into shape!
Please believe me when I tell y'all the gluteus medius muscle is no joke. I tore mine in 2019, and that muscle is so powerful it fractured my hip. If I'm not exercising it, my hip locks and I get lower back spasms that take one month of physical therapy to loosen. Make sure that muscle gets love cause it definitely impacts your pelvic floor, your hips...the list goes on.
These are so effective, thanks a lot! Also understanding my body more. Lifting the left leg during the clam exercise... Wow, didn't know my mobility was so uneven!
absolutely love the education in this! so many of us just do the exercises but don’t actually know why. will defo have to watch this more than once to take it all in again and do the workout. thank you sis 💙
My girlfriend followed Dietarize fat loss meal plan whiile doing your workouts. She managed to slim down and her 🍑 is just wow! Thanks once again for helping my girlfriend in her transformation!!
@@SS-zn1td it’s not about „the“ result. You have to be consistent with exercise and let your muscles rest. It’s more about incorporating it into your daily life, thus making gradual changes, so you can keep doing it over time. If you stop when you get your desired result ( which can take up to a few weeks to several months depending on your goal) it’s gonna go away.
I lost close to 30 pounds earlier this year tied to health reasons. I was not in any place to be losing in the first place. I always had a nice butt going for me but it’s gone now ;-; thank you for this! I’m going to get on this.
I was literally heating something in the microwave during the video haha! So true, PT suggested this to stop my knee pain and my squats are so much better! I'm still learning how to utilize proper form, but strengthening this muscles really has been a game changer. Loved the accuracy!! Thank you!
I had to do these in physical therapy for a patellar tendon tear for 12 weeks along with some other exercises that made me cry lol butt now I know why I was getting compliments on my booty 🍑
Just subscribed...you are a beautiful lady, and I love your exercises. I am almost 70 yrs old, a retired RN & Personal Trainer. I have been inactive since Covid & have gained 30 lb. So glad to have found you!!😚
Hi Victoria, glad to see that I am not the only 70 yo watching this video. I followed this young lady prior to the pandemic then stopped. I already do butt exercises but will include these in my regimen of butt exercises. I already been doing the clams with resistance bands, fire hydrants and dunkey kicks. And of course the proverbial “good mornings” which I had learned from her and squats. Only one I don’t enjoy doing is the glute bridge. Good luck.
I never knew the sissy swing is so useful... I used to learn Karate and used to do this for learning side kicks and gaining balance !! It feels so cool to learn how it actually works in our body.
Thank God someone finally gets it! Doing short intermittent moves while going throughout your day while waiting on things like the microwave, dryer , etc
I just wanted to come and give a like to someone on the internet actually certified to talk about this subject! Those certifications aren’t just handed out. ❤
Im about to turn 30, and for the first time in my life ive been having terrible hip pain and cramps when trying to move my leg to the side and up for any reason. Thanks for these exercises! Im hoping to rebuild the gluteus medius and strengthen my TFL.
Hey there I’m so glad I came across your ad, you explain everything so well and break it down so it’s not complicated I am 49 I have had multiple back and neck and hip surgeries it has been hard for me to be consistent with exercising but I know that a lot of my muscles are very weak and not doing what they are supposed to I had a right SI joint fusion in July and I just had my left side fused a week ago after I am allowed to start exercising I am definitely going to sign up with you and start doing the exercises you have been showing they are exactly what I need I was in very good shape and worked out every day before I injured my back and it’s been many years I really want to get in shape again it’s been such a defeat but you have given me hope and I am not giving up!!! I will keep you posted on my progress I probably cannot exercise until after the New Year But that is fine and thank you again you are an amazing teacher I look forward to transitioning into my new body👍
I understand your situation. I hope you heal very well and start feeling yourself again after you are able to work out anc care for your body. :) God loves you :-)
I literally have been doing this just before I get out of bed in the am and just before I try to sleep because of insomnia. While I'm washing dishes, while I'm talking on the phone, in the shower, reading a book, watching TV lol I didn't know it actually works. I just started doing it because I have saitica issues after working for Amazon warehouse and I did not want to go to therapy every day So I started feeling my muscles while doing these stretches or small workouts and making sure I could feel it tightening or moving. Did not know it was an actual thing! I'm glad I came across your page!
Woah! So that’s my issue. I can always feel the left side WAY more than the right. Tried putting my leg against the wall & the right side started shaking- was hard! Thank you for this! Save!
This makes so much sense! I dropped off on weight training at the height of the pandemic and gained all my weight back, and then some. My lower back would be on fire after walking my dogs for an extended time or sitting at my desk for work. I do have a prior back injury that is minor, but when I was lifting I had a dedicated lower body day and was training my glutes. I am back in the gym so hoping to kiss the pain away as I get stronger! 💪🏽Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
One of my life goals is to be financially stable enough to subscribe to your fitness plan one day I would love more than anything to support you because I've been working out with you for years
Blessings spirit led me here I subbed immediately!! SICK OF MY DOCTOR AN HIS PILLS! SICK OF PAIN! I TAKE BACK ALL MY ENERGY I WAISTED ON THEM!! RECLAIMING MY LIFE!! AND BODY!!! GRATITUDE 🌹🌹🌹🦅
You are fun and smart! Thank you! Also thank you for not showing piriformis activation like fire hydrant etc that so many confuse with glute min and med. I had piriformis syndrome and really weak glutes and building them is still a struggle without triggering the pain by wrong muscle targeting. Your video is on point
Oh my goodness I love your vibe. So funny and competent and pretty! Just had my fourth and last baby and I am ready to build back muscle! Tha k you for this video!
Your video is the only one that I don’t fast forward to the work out with. Your intro to the video is so informational and it’s not just a bunch of jibber jabber like the other videos I’ve watched. Enclosing I love you I love your videos! Thank you for doing what you do!!!
Starting TODAY! Thank you. I always had a bubble but until this last year. I wonder where it went then realize I have been so sedentary through lockdown. NOW I am gonna get it back.
I just had to come look for you and made sure to drop my comment.... Jeez it did work.... Saw results 2 weeks in and now everyone is complimenting my butt and side view 😂😂💞❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your energy! What a great motivator you are!!!! Thank you for doing this video! I needed this so bad. I have a lot of pain, and it's hard to get motivated to move! I'm starting this right now!
That makes so much sense! I guess that's one of the reasons why I got injured! See, I used to be fit and do HIIT workouts and everything was fine, until I stopped training for 5 years and tried to do the same thing (I know...) and obviously I got injured because I should've started little by little... Thank you so much for this!
I’m currently about to do these exercises for the next 5 days,so comment and reply to remind me to leave an update I’m about to start right now: In case you wondering I’m 16, weight 86 lb, and I’m short and skinny
These are awesome exercises, most of which I haven't seen before, but upon doing them, I definitely feel my body firing up. These are more comfortable for me to do than other traditional exercises given for the booty, so I love this. Thanks so much!!
THANK YOU KOBOKO I AM WORKING TO CONQUER MY HIP ARTHRITIS THEESE ARE THE PERFECT ADDITION TO THE EXERCISES I HAVE BEEN DOING AND SO EASY I CAN DO THEM ANYTIME ANYWHERE !! LOVE YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE YOU ARE 😍🤩 AMAZING
You’re the best! Just discovered you, and so happy i did. Love the support, simplicity, options! Uplifting and to the point (unlike so many i can’t fathom listening to the endless talk before actually getting to the workout). Thank you! You’re a breath of fresh air 🥰❤️🙏🏼
Thank you, so I've been doing these for over a week now and started to feel a bit of pain in my knee. I'm 69 years old and this method is so much better! Just subbed!
Just found your channel and subscribed. I'm an ultra runner who gets SO BORED with home strength workouts, and only have 10-15 minutes to do them. I love your attitude and humor, and I'm so excited to try out your 10 minute workouts!
The leg on the wall was a game changer. I had been lifting for 3 years and had an injury on my right side from a t-bone accident. It’s been a year and this is the first time I’ve been able to feel my glutes since. I did RDLs with my leg against the wall to open my hips. Game changer for sure
I pulled this exact muscle almost 2 years ago doing horse gallops (side action around a tennis court). Talk about pain! It didn't hurt much at the outset, but it's been chronically bothering me ever since. It's mostly healed now, just needs consistent activation to repair the muscle fibers - so I'm going to do these daily. I just tried a few and they definitely helped reach the muscles that need activating.
😄 Hi 👋🏽 lol I was searching for a new work out routine and I happen to come across you and your name caught my attention because my name is kola too (Emikola) and I have NEVER met or come across anyone with this name before but I love it 😊 💞
Very impressive, teaching smart exercise and proper body mechanics and caution about injury. I very much appreciate the basics as a fit woman in her 60s and as a massage therapist I see injuries down the road for these ppl doing jump squats w heavy dumbbells etc ❤
Love this!. Trying to get my naturally flat and weak booty some kind of lift and strength, that first exercise is making it sore. The one where you lay on your side harder than it looks. Thanks for explaining the muscles and how they work and effect other areas.
Kola, my dear, you are just lovely!! Smart, very pretty, and kind!!! You are the trifecta. ❤ As a 58-year old white woman born to three previous generations of women with a super flat butt, I just thought it was an unattractive trait. I had no idea it was why I experience terrible lower back and IT band pain. (All the women of my family had debilitating “hip” issues that started in our mid-50’s.) It took me years to figure out the cause of all this pain is my super weak, and therefore flat butt, which in turn caused the hip and IT band issues. 😢 The clam shells have helped but I needed more exercises and I could actually do, and RUclips brought YOU to me!!! THANK YOU!!!❤ I pray your kindness in sharing your knowledge will help me strengthen my rump and alleviate all the pain!!! 🤞 May God bless you and keep you ever in His arms!! You have a new subscriber from the first video I saw!!
You're the best. Thank you so much for this amazing comment! 💐💖. I know you can definitely reach your goals despite the family history. 💪 Cheering you on all the way xoxo

Thank you for clearing up why my back pain suddenly subsided, as I recently started to incorporate some of these movements into my morning routine. Very informative. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏾
You give me hope Elizabeth. I doubt that my butt will look like hers but that's ok because relieving back pain is a bigger goal for me.
@@glw5166 strengthening ur legs and butt help relieve back pain. helps w my scoliosis
@@kaylirocha7027 Thanks. My problem is actually getting up off my butt and doing the work.
As a massage therapist I always encourage my clients to look into hip exercises before thinking it is all in their back. Some Doctors are also real quick to suggest surgery
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have had a hip issue for over a decade and not one single professional has ever explained what to do and why. With this new knowledge, I hope to regain my mobility. Thank you!
All the women in my family for three generations that I know about have had “hip” issues starting in the mid-50s. NOOO!! It is flat-butt issues that CAUSE hip and IT band issues!!!😢
I am half-way through this video, learning what to do. I pray this helps me!!
with youtube we can heal ourselves, we don’t need doctors anymore when we can educate ourselves through amazing content creators.
I haven't even started but her intro omg love her
I have nerve damage from a back injury. I went from a little bubble butt to flat on the left side and no muscle strength. I felt my muscles "wake up" after one session with these suggestions!! I am hoping to be able to gain some of my muscle strength back! THANK YOU!!
Do you have an update?
I lost 45lbs, losing some butt as well.. I just started this one week ago. Hopefully I can lift what is now sagging 😢 if it's possible
My round booty was my signature until I lost 60 lbs at the age of 70! Was surprised I lost it, but delighted to find a way to get it back! Thanks I'll try these.
Hi,
Curious to know how you lost 60 pounds . Do you care to share? Thanks
@@sienagwandure3454 I think it comes with age just like we gain alot of weight after 25
Good job! Congrats!
Good for you! Keeping in shape and trying your best to stay healthy is important regardless of age
@Ariana Gandhi What a snarky, negative comment to make! Sweetheart, do you think YOU will be “preparing for your grave” at age 70?! I’m 67, have recently lost 30 lbs & feel better than I have in years, and my grave is a LONG way off. Still a lotta life left in us “OLD” gals. I bet Robin feels the same way. So move on with your nasty comments…positivity keeps you YOUNG!! Namaste
Been doing a couple of these every day for about a week and I'm already starting to see results. Gonna have to add some resistance to my clamshells soon.
I do mine while I brush my teeth. Brushing your teeth is so boring, why not work out at the same time?
Thanks for the great info! The clam exercise made me tear up just watching you. A car accident, years ago, prevents me from doing strenuous exercise. Used to work out like crazy when I was young like you! God bless and keep you❣️
@Marisa Pinkarisa I have dealt with fluorosis since childhood. My dad mistakenly believed fluoride strengthened teeth, like so many others. We lived in Colorado Springs where the fluoride was already high. He had my mother buy fluoride supplemented water to make formula. I suffer pain, dental issues and more from it. There are warnings on toothpaste saying not to swallow. If it’s in your mouth you are absorbing it.
I use Lumi deoderant. I really like it. I learned about the aluminum years ago.
I use the microwave for popcorn and melting butter for baking. Thats about it. It kills any nutrients in your food. It releases toxins in plastics. You should never heat up a baby bottle in the microwave. You are kind to take time to tell others about these dangers. They are very bad and many still do not know! It’s like aspartame!! It puts holes in the brain!
Our food has been modified to the point our bodies barely recognize it as food anymore. The more processed food we eat the more time our bodies spend in a fight or flight type of mode. The body responds as though it is under attack and stores calories. This is why organic veggies are so important. They give the body permission to let go of stored garbage and time to heal and rejuvenate. Micronutrients are vital to fight cancer and obesity. Intermittent fasting has been proven to prevent cancer. This means eating once in a 24 hour time frame. Allowing the body to eat existing fat and discard free radicals. It also resets the metabolism and the way we feel hunger. Anywhoo, thats a lot of info too. Maybe someone was praying for an answer to something? Blessings!
@Marisa Pinkarisa Can you give me a source please so I can read about this?
I remember that clam exercise from one of my physical therapy sessions last year. When I was younger, I didn't think much about glute exercises, but I sure think about them a lot more now, as I got older and have visibly lost muscle tone that I had taken for granted. I think a lot of my low back pain might also be from weak glutes. Thank you for all these great exercise suggestions.
And possibly a weak core so I do Pilates for that as I’ve spend years using my back too much and not my abdominals.
@@cluckygirl792 I do planks and my core is fine.
I've lost weight , which has been great and I had a great booty "HAD" I lost my booty, so now I need to do these exercises to build it up. Thank you for this!
Samee!!🙈🥺gonna start this asap !!
I hear you. I used to lose in my stomach first, this time I lost half my butt. Thankfully I had enough to lose half! 🤣
@@ladyt4478 lool
Yes go for it girl
Me too! I lost 40 lbs and sooooo much of my butt that I'm devastated...not to mention I'm recovering from rotor cuff repair...but I'm here to tell you that I will begin these exercises TU-DAY! 😁
Okay listen I just found this video/you. Listen. I can’t even right now. I have hip pain all the time and I’m shooketh!! I did the sissy swing while watching the rest of the video until I got to the pelvic drop then I switched to that one. (The sissy swing WAS tricky for my painful hip.) I’m about to cry. It’s first thing in the morning, straight out the bed with my normal daily pain; I do these exercises for less than 5 minutes and I can tell already it’s helping with the pain/ about to change my… no, HAS ALREADY changed my life. I’m so grateful for the teaching at the beginning and the accessibility of these simple exercises. THANK YOU 😭
Thank you so much for your review but can you please tell me did these exercises shape up the booty?
These are all the exercises i did after my hip surgery in 2017. I am a massage therapist and personal trainer as well, I highly recommend these exercises. They definitely WAKE up your muscles. If you dont have the mind to muscle connection you wont get results, these exercises she has will definitely do that. I think I got a better booty after surgery, lol. I often go back to my pt exercises. The wall one you can also put a pillow on the wall and bend the standing leg when you get stronger, like doing the running man leaning into the wall. Awesome video 🥰
Been 6weeks now since my hip replacement surgery,thank God I came across this video
I had my hip surgery in 2015 and unfortunately I haven’t been the most active 😭 thank you for commenting this
@@heathermbambeni529 how is it going?
@@winnerwinnerchickendinnertehe you are very welcome. Hope the video inspired you to take longer walks, or hikes. If not you can start before the Easter Bunny gets here😉
Why did you need hip surgery cause my hips and lower back hurts at times but I believe it's do to being overweight and now that I'm loosing weight I feel better but still get lower back pain
I’m speechless, very educational and put together in such a great presentation. You should be proud of yourself and the content you create.
I love that you talk about the whole body, and not over-doing it as you build strength! It’s so important to get good advice like this when beginning with fitness, thanks!
Gonna give it a 30-day whirl with before and after pics. At soon to be 62, I'm looking reasonably forward to positive results. Not tryna be 30-looking or younger rather as fit as I can be for my stature and efforts. This looks promising 😍☺️
How's it going?
I look at your profil picture and honesty you look 45
Thank you. Glad you mentioned weak muscle cautions. I had hip surgery and they are weak, now I know why my surgeon said not to do those movements. Working my muscles back into shape!
Please believe me when I tell y'all the gluteus medius muscle is no joke. I tore mine in 2019, and that muscle is so powerful it fractured my hip. If I'm not exercising it, my hip locks and I get lower back spasms that take one month of physical therapy to loosen. Make sure that muscle gets love cause it definitely impacts your pelvic floor, your hips...the list goes on.
Ouch!! Hope you're doing better now?
These are so effective, thanks a lot! Also understanding my body more. Lifting the left leg during the clam exercise... Wow, didn't know my mobility was so uneven!
absolutely love the education in this! so many of us just do the exercises but don’t actually know why. will defo have to watch this more than once to take it all in again and do the workout. thank you sis 💙
My girlfriend followed Dietarize fat loss meal plan whiile doing your workouts. She managed to slim down and her 🍑 is just wow! Thanks once again for helping my girlfriend in her transformation!!
Wow
wow..how many days it takes to get the result.
@@SS-zn1td it’s not about „the“ result. You have to be consistent with exercise and let your muscles rest. It’s more about incorporating it into your daily life, thus making gradual changes, so you can keep doing it over time. If you stop when you get your desired result ( which can take up to a few weeks to several months depending on your goal) it’s gonna go away.
@@natih2342 omg 😳
I lost close to 30 pounds earlier this year tied to health reasons. I was not in any place to be losing in the first place. I always had a nice butt going for me but it’s gone now ;-; thank you for this! I’m going to get on this.
I was literally heating something in the microwave during the video haha! So true, PT suggested this to stop my knee pain and my squats are so much better! I'm still learning how to utilize proper form, but strengthening this muscles really has been a game changer. Loved the accuracy!! Thank you!
Yý
I had to do these in physical therapy for a patellar tendon tear for 12 weeks along with some other exercises that made me cry lol butt now I know why I was getting compliments on my booty 🍑
Just subscribed...you are a beautiful lady, and I love your exercises. I am almost 70 yrs old, a retired RN & Personal Trainer. I have been inactive since Covid & have gained 30 lb. So glad to have found you!!😚
Hi Victoria, glad to see that I am not the only 70 yo watching this video. I followed this young lady prior to the pandemic then stopped. I already do butt exercises but will include these in my regimen of butt exercises. I already been doing the clams with resistance bands, fire hydrants and dunkey kicks. And of course the proverbial “good mornings” which I had learned from her and squats. Only one I don’t enjoy doing is the glute bridge. Good luck.
I do these exercises when I walk! I've found that it reduces the amount of pain throughout the day!
I never knew the sissy swing is so useful... I used to learn Karate and used to do this for learning side kicks and gaining balance !! It feels so cool to learn how it actually works in our body.
Thank God someone finally gets it! Doing short intermittent moves while going throughout your day while waiting on things like the microwave, dryer , etc
I love the part where she says I don't have to do intense workouts. Thank you so much!❤️
Definitely working 😅😅😅😅😅 sweating hard. Second day doing this workout and I'm loving it
You got me sold momma! I now have a new favorite, gentle, but precise internet instructor! 🙏🏻🧘🏻♀️🫶🏻🪷🫂👑🔮🏋🏻♀️
I just wanted to come and give a like to someone on the internet actually certified to talk about this subject! Those certifications aren’t just handed out. ❤
I just started doing these workouts yesterday and let me tell you I feel the soreness today! I love it!
You talhtomich
Talk to much
All that talking
Im about to turn 30, and for the first time in my life ive been having terrible hip pain and cramps when trying to move my leg to the side and up for any reason. Thanks for these exercises! Im hoping to rebuild the gluteus medius and strengthen my TFL.
You are so positive, a ray of sunshine to watch, and feel inspired! You are awesome!
OMG I really wish I knew this a year ago. All of the issues of knee, hip & lower back pain are serious problems that I am experiencing now. Thank you!
Hey there I’m so glad I came across your ad, you explain everything so well and break it down so it’s not complicated I am 49 I have had multiple back and neck and hip surgeries it has been hard for me to be consistent with exercising but I know that a lot of my muscles are very weak and not doing what they are supposed to I had a right SI joint fusion in July and I just had my left side fused a week ago after I am allowed to start exercising I am definitely going to sign up with you and start doing the exercises you have been showing they are exactly what I need I was in very good shape and worked out every day before I injured my back and it’s been many years I really want to get in shape again it’s been such a defeat but you have given me hope and I am not giving up!!! I will keep you posted on my progress I probably cannot exercise until after the New Year But that is fine and thank you again you are an amazing teacher I look forward to transitioning into my new body👍
I understand your situation. I hope you heal very well and start feeling yourself again after you are able to work out anc care for your body. :) God loves you :-)
Try my barley sir can helps you
I literally have been doing this just before I get out of bed in the am and just before I try to sleep because of insomnia. While I'm washing dishes, while I'm talking on the phone, in the shower, reading a book, watching TV lol I didn't know it actually works. I just started doing it because I have saitica issues after working for Amazon warehouse and I did not want to go to therapy every day So I started feeling my muscles while doing these stretches or small workouts and making sure I could feel it tightening or moving. Did not know it was an actual thing! I'm glad I came across your page!
Love how u break it ALL down, like alllll of it, thanx hun❤
Woah! So that’s my issue. I can always feel the left side WAY more than the right. Tried putting my leg against the wall & the right side started shaking- was hard! Thank you for this! Save!
This makes so much sense! I dropped off on weight training at the height of the pandemic and gained all my weight back, and then some. My lower back would be on fire after walking my dogs for an extended time or sitting at my desk for work. I do have a prior back injury that is minor, but when I was lifting I had a dedicated lower body day and was training my glutes. I am back in the gym so hoping to kiss the pain away as I get stronger! 💪🏽Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
I like that you mentioned it helping with hip and back pain.
One of my life goals is to be financially stable enough to subscribe to your fitness plan one day I would love more than anything to support you because I've been working out with you for years
My physical therapist actually had me try all three of these. I love them and like you said, you can do them at home, anytime. Thank u!
Blessings spirit led me here I subbed immediately!! SICK OF MY DOCTOR AN HIS PILLS! SICK OF PAIN! I TAKE BACK ALL MY ENERGY I WAISTED ON THEM!! RECLAIMING MY LIFE!! AND BODY!!! GRATITUDE 🌹🌹🌹🦅
You are fun and smart! Thank you! Also thank you for not showing piriformis activation like fire hydrant etc that so many confuse with glute min and med. I had piriformis syndrome and really weak glutes and building them is still a struggle without triggering the pain by wrong muscle targeting. Your video is on point
Oh my goodness I love your vibe. So funny and competent and pretty! Just had my fourth and last baby and I am ready to build back muscle! Tha k you for this video!
Well, this was an immediate follow! What an adorable young lady she is. I will be trying these exercises today...can't wait to watch more.
Love how u explain everything, straight to the point and quick, thanks for the info
Your video is the only one that I don’t fast forward to the work out with. Your intro to the video is so informational and it’s not just a bunch of jibber jabber like the other videos I’ve watched. Enclosing I love you I love your videos! Thank you for doing what you do!!!
Thanks girl imma try these cause my butt muscles need work
Starting TODAY! Thank you. I always had a bubble but until this last year. I wonder where it went then realize I have been so sedentary through lockdown. NOW I am gonna get it back.
7:05 is EVERYTHING and ur not lying. Thank you so much for you knowledge and help your putting out here!!!
Love how she explains everything👍
I just had to come look for you and made sure to drop my comment.... Jeez it did work.... Saw results 2 weeks in and now everyone is complimenting my butt and side view 😂😂💞❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did u do any but work out after these?
I watch a lot of male fitness instructors, this was such a refreshing video! Love the presentation!
I love your energy! What a great motivator you are!!!! Thank you for doing this video! I needed this so bad. I have a lot of pain, and it's hard to get motivated to move! I'm starting this right now!
That makes so much sense! I guess that's one of the reasons why I got injured! See, I used to be fit and do HIIT workouts and everything was fine, until I stopped training for 5 years and tried to do the same thing (I know...) and obviously I got injured because I should've started little by little... Thank you so much for this!
I love these exercises. I was in the military and most of these are a part of the physical training.
When you were showing us the clams, all I could think is "she looks like workout Barbie 😊"
You are a gem and I’m glad you’re getting so many views - this is what the internet is good for!
I like how detailed and encouraging the explanation is. Thank you so much for sharing this
I’m currently about to do these exercises for the next 5 days,so comment and reply to remind me to leave an update I’m about to start right now:
In case you wondering I’m 16, weight 86 lb, and I’m short and skinny
How are you doing? Have you kept doing these exercises. As a grandmother I really suggest you should.
Thanks girl!! You’re the freaking best ❤️
She knows exactly what she is saying
So confident and well explained video
Thank you so much for a great lecture
These are awesome exercises, most of which I haven't seen before, but upon doing them, I definitely feel my body firing up. These are more comfortable for me to do than other traditional exercises given for the booty, so I love this. Thanks so much!!
THANK YOU KOBOKO I AM WORKING TO CONQUER MY HIP ARTHRITIS THEESE ARE THE PERFECT ADDITION TO THE EXERCISES I HAVE BEEN DOING AND SO EASY I CAN DO THEM ANYTIME ANYWHERE !! LOVE YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE YOU ARE 😍🤩 AMAZING
I am start these exercises today
Excited to try these, thank you very much! You have such a bright and beautiful personality!💜💙💗
You’re the best! Just discovered you, and so happy i did. Love the support, simplicity, options! Uplifting and to the point (unlike so many i can’t fathom listening to the endless talk before actually getting to the workout).
Thank you! You’re a breath of fresh air 🥰❤️🙏🏼
Thank you! I have no butt and it’s so weak 😂 wow those clams work!
I love how into detail you go into about the importance of these individual workouts. ❤️
Thank you, so I've been doing these for over a week now and started to feel a bit of pain in my knee. I'm 69 years old and this method is so much better! Just subbed!
Welcome to Koboko Fitness 😁😁
My hot pocket staring at me from inside the microwave 0_0
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just found your channel and subscribed. I'm an ultra runner who gets SO BORED with home strength workouts, and only have 10-15 minutes to do them. I love your attitude and humor, and I'm so excited to try out your 10 minute workouts!
Girl you got me tip toeing around the house after that workout🤸🏽♀️🎵 Thanks for the tip ❤
Omg ❤❤❤ I have slipped discs & having been gaining due to not moving. These are BRILLIANT!
This the muscle I’ve been needing to target I can see the difference in the other muscle however I can still see where my medius is lacking
The leg on the wall was a game changer. I had been lifting for 3 years and had an injury on my right side from a t-bone accident. It’s been a year and this is the first time I’ve been able to feel my glutes since. I did RDLs with my leg against the wall to open my hips. Game changer for sure
I pulled this exact muscle almost 2 years ago doing horse gallops (side action around a tennis court). Talk about pain! It didn't hurt much at the outset, but it's been chronically bothering me ever since. It's mostly healed now, just needs consistent activation to repair the muscle fibers - so I'm going to do these daily. I just tried a few and they definitely helped reach the muscles that need activating.
😄 Hi 👋🏽 lol I was searching for a new work out routine and I happen to come across you and your name caught my attention because my name is kola too (Emikola) and I have NEVER met or come across anyone with this name before but I love it 😊 💞
yay!! I’m so happy to have you 😄
Mine is so flat I’m so self conscience
Sometimes it is genetics
Mine is so flat you can't tell where my back ends .my backside is just straight as a board
Haha add in about 6 skin folds from weight loss.
Mine too. 😭
Very impressive, teaching smart exercise and proper body mechanics and caution about injury. I very much appreciate the basics as a fit woman in her 60s and as a massage therapist I see injuries down the road for these ppl doing jump squats w heavy dumbbells etc ❤
Love this!. Trying to get my naturally flat and weak booty some kind of lift and strength, that first exercise is making it sore. The one where you lay on your side harder than it looks.
Thanks for explaining the muscles and how they work and effect other areas.
You are seriously awesome, thank you so much for making this so relatable!!!
Thank you for inspiring me months after knee surgery trying to build my body strength back up!
Kola, my dear, you are just lovely!! Smart, very pretty, and kind!!! You are the trifecta. ❤
As a 58-year old white woman born to three previous generations of women with a super flat butt, I just thought it was an unattractive trait. I had no idea it was why I experience terrible lower back and IT band pain. (All the women of my family had debilitating “hip” issues that started in our mid-50’s.) It took me years to figure out the cause of all this pain is my super weak, and therefore flat butt, which in turn caused the hip and IT band issues. 😢
The clam shells have helped but I needed more exercises and I could actually do, and RUclips brought YOU to me!!!
THANK YOU!!!❤ I pray your kindness in sharing your knowledge will help me strengthen my rump and alleviate all the pain!!! 🤞 May God bless you and keep you ever in His arms!! You have a new subscriber from the first video I saw!!
You're the best. Thank you so much for this amazing comment! 💐💖. I know you can definitely reach your goals despite the family history. 💪 Cheering you on all the way xoxo
Thank you so much ! Have broken back helping so much with that pain now too ! Excellent routine
