In this video we're going to show you an exercise to work your gluteus medius muscles which is part of your gluteus muscles on your buttocks. Now this is one of those exercises with a muscle that you very seldomly think about, and it might be causing problems with the angle of your knee, pulling your knee out to one or the other direction. With weakness in this muscle. It's very subtle. Hold a chair beside you and lift up one of your knees, the one that's farther from the from the chair. What you want to do is you want to fall onto the hip slouching, and then stand up straight, just like you see in the video.
Slouch and fall putting your weight on that leg and then pull your hip back to the straight positions standing up. straight. That's a very, very subtle exercise, but you shouldn't be feeling it after six or seven reps. You should be feeling it quite a bit in your buttocks in your glutes. Do 10 reps falling on your hip and then standing up straight and then switch legs. Bring the chair to the other side. Again, raise the leg that's further from the chair and just fall to the side.
Kind of as you as you stand, you can fall onto one of the hips. So that's exactly what you want to do in this exercise. Fall to that hip and then bring it straight back, standing up straight, just like you see in the video. 10 reps for each side. And you really should be feeling this in your glutes. This is one of those muscles that when you go to the gym, you never think about you never really exercised and the weakness could be causing some of that tension in your knees.
