As I mentioned in my previous post (Part 1 of "It's All in the
Hips"), it is important to continually and frequently activate and
strengthen the gluteal muscles during squatting, walking, and any hip
dominant activity (like your kettlebell swings). The previous exercise
got you started with seated gluteal activation through band hip
abductions. Now it is time to introduce locomotion in a partially
flexed hip position, i.e. a partial squat. Most people find that this
particular exercise quickly fatigues their gluteal muscles, assuming
they use a band of appropriate resistance. Start with performing 10
steps in each direction, and work up to multiple sets. You have your
task....now get started!
