One of the most common lower body imbalances is weak glutes, which fire a chain reaction of imbalances, usually affecting your hamstrings next.

Use this practice to self-test whether your glutes are doing their job, activate and strengthen these critical muscles, and stretch tight, overworked hamstrings — bringing your lower body into better balance.

Take your lower body balance practice further:
• Use the Self-Tests: Are your glutes working too hard or not enough? and What’s going on back there?, as well as How to Activate your Glutes and 5-Minute Hamstring Reset. Find all suggested videos right here in Balance Your Lower Body.
