I saw Dr. Chartterjee in the Skavlan program. I started doing the clock exercises and my back pain vanished. I am doing every single morning outside before I enter my jobb! Thank you Dr Chatterjee for teaching these amazings exercises! I feel great again!
I've been following the podcast for ages but have only just registered that these exist. I've known for years that I needed to address my inactive glutes but not exercise seemed to work until this one. Thank you 😊
Thanks for these clear console and very helpful videos. Quick question: is it normal to feel the exercises in your quads more than glutes? I am doing the exercises alone but with a mirror. I think the form is good but rarely feel any burning in my flutes; it’s almost always/exclusively in my quads closer to my knee. Any guidance appreciated!
Amazing stuff, so helpful even if like me you don't particularly have aches and pains but it feels so good to be balanced. Thank you. Did you say do all 4 in one session or just pick 1 and keep to it, or alternate.?
Hey Ally - depends on the individual. I try and make sure I do 5 minutes of them each day - sometimes focus on just one, sometimes do a combination. The main thing is to think about quality nor quantity!
Loving the books and the podcasts. Thank you. Doing the exercises in this series, I'm trying to keep the heel of the weight-bearing foot down as I get my weight into the knuckle of the foot. I feel the biggest strain in the Achilles and calf of the weight-bearing leg. Does this suggest I'm doing something wrong or am I just inflexible and doing these exercises will help that and I'll eventually feel the benefit in my glutes? Thank you.
Just picked up the book. I really need to strengthen my glutes as I have no strength in my lower body (that’s what retirement can do)! Unfortunately my toe knuckles are a major problem as I can’t easily put weight on them without excruciating pain in middle toe (both feet). Been tested for various things but it’s not Morton’s neuroma. Think it’s arthritis after a tumble some years back so I need padding to absorb pressure. I guess I’ll have to try the exercises and see what happens.
I understand the weight has to be toward the front of the foot and on the toe knuckles. Is it ok to let the heal on the front foot come off the ground slightly? Thanks
hello, been trying this exercise with perfect form , short stride , weight on knuckles of foot, but i always feel my front leg vmo/quad doing most of the work. i dont think i can get the form any better, and i am at maximum lean forward. Can you help please
Hi I've just been diagnosed with a small tear of the plantar plate of my foot which means my 2nd toe is slightly out of line (think the doc called it subluxation or something) . Don't want it to affect my back, knee & hip on that side so could I still do these exercises do you think?
Hi..just started the excercise having almost finished the great book. I have weak hips and am very tight through both sides, with increasing lower right back pain and am hoping these exercises really help me. Also am a runner and flat footed :) ..when I do a couple of these my knee tens to wander into the middle, particularly on my right side at the point of flex..is that something that will improve, or does it suggest I may be doing the excercise wrongly.. ?
I’m a personal trainer, I have a client who struggles a lot with glute activation and I’ve tried a number of things but not having much success. Found these videos trying to find potential helpful exercises but seems to be a dead end too lol. Just tried this one and honestly I don’t think it’s good for glute activation. But that’s what happens when your weight goes to the front of the foot (like he suggests). That is mainly going to get your quads involved and less from the glutes.

This is so great to hear Denise - well done! So happy they helped you. These are the same exercises that helped me!

The videos are motivational and I would love it if you could continue with other series: e.g. low back, neck etc.
I would love to see more movement videos like this x
Thank you so much. I love it.🎉
Very helpful! Thank you both

Hi, just started these. On the 4th exercise my quads seems to be feeling it more than my glutes, Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Yeah me too, could do with some tips to rectify it. Hopefully he will reply with some advice
Hi Doc, All these exercises are only over activating the quads. Feel nothing in the glutes. What could I be doing wrong?
Where do you feel pressure in the foot when doing this
