πββοΈ WHAT DO YOUR GLUTES ACTUALLY DO WHILE RUNNING? π
Your glutes are some of your most important running muscles. They help you:
π Propel you forward β generating power with every stride.
π Extend your hip β helping drive your leg backwards and push off the ground.
π Stabilise your pelvis β keeping your hips level while you run.
π Control your knee β helping prevent your knee from collapsing inward.
π Absorb impact β working with your other muscles to control landing forces.
π Improve efficiency β strong glutes can help you maintain good running mechanics, especially when fatigue sets in.
π‘ Runner's tip: Strong glutes aren't just about speed. They're about power, stability and staying strong when the kilometres add up.
Train your glutes. Run stronger. ππββοΈ
