“A lot of clients I see each day aren’t able to contract or activate their glutes,” he says. “What’s interesting is that this is the largest muscle group in the body, and it’s often the least used.”
Also known as “gluteal amnesia”, lazy glutes are a problem that can occur for many reasons. “These include work and lifestyle habits, building bad mechanical patterns throughout the day and exercising incorrectly,” Atashi says.
COMMON SIGNS
So, how can we tell if our glutes are being lazy? “The most effective way to tell would be to conduct a couple of tests with a professional personal trainer or physio,” Atashi says. “However, you can often tell if you have lower back pain, a tight back and weak, tired knees. These can all be signs of lazy glutes,” he adds.
“Often, you’ll know if your glutes have been activated and that there is good brain to muscle connection after a lower-body workout class and you can feel it the next day. If you can’t feel anything in your glutes, then you can almost guarantee that your glutes are not firing up properly.”
