Glutes Standing + Mat Workout [All Levels]
All Levels • 16m
In this workout, we'll emphasize control, power + alignment through glute activation - with a particular focus on glute medius, a place where many Irish dancers have weakness, according to Sports/PT Dr. Megan Greco, based in Ellicott City, MD. In addition to a standing series, we'll make our way down to the mat for additional bridgework and glute engagement. [TIP: Pay close attention to form by practicing near a mirror, or have a friend / family member check to make sure your hips stay in alignment throughout this workout]
Level: All Levels
What You Need: Mat
