Yoga at Work: Restore Gluteal Strength

My Yoga Online has posted a new Yoga Anatomy article by Dr. Carla Cupido, Restore Activity to Gluteal Muscles. This new wellness article offers insight into the unwanted development of inhibited or weak gluteal muscles that can lead to lower cross syndrome and other postural problems. Also learn a series of tips on waking up the gluteal muscles to bring balance back into the body.

Most of us sit on our backsides all day long. This often contributes to lower cross syndrome. This condition involves the combination of tight hip flexor and erector back muscles with weak or inhibited abdominal and buttocks muscles. The specific buttocks muscle affected in lower cross syndrome is the gluteus maximus, the largest and most superficial gluteal muscle. The main action of this muscle is hip extension and is therefore active in the majority of our movements.

Click Here to learn some easy exercises that can be done at home or at the office to both rouse and strengthen your gluteus maximus muscles.
