Honestly—I hear this all the time from new clients - “I can’t get my glutes to engage!”
Usually, here’s what’s happening:
• Tight hips push the ball of the hip joint forward
• Quads (front of thigh) + hamstrings (back of thigh) take over
• Glutes get left out of the picture
When you allow the hip to reach back, everything changes:
✅ The hip releases + stabilizes
✅ The joints align down to the toes
✅ The glutes finally wake up
Suddenly, instead of being tight + weak, your glutes become strong, flexible, and supportive. That takes pressure off your low back and gives you better hip movement overall. 🙌
⚠️ If you’ve got low back pain, grab onto something steady with your opposite hand while trying this.
