The Importance of Glute Training

The Importance of Glute Training

The unfortunate truth about lower-body workouts is that many people work out for purely cosmetic reasons. Yes, glutes are important for the all-around aesthetic appeal, but there is actually a purpose behind training them that goes far beyond having a great bottom.

Join NASM Master Instructors Wendy Batts, Marty Miller, and Prentiss Rhodes as they discuss the actual functions of the glute complex and proper exercise progressions and regressions regarding ideal glute training.

NASM Master Trainers Prentiss Rhodes, Wendy Batts, and Marty Miller talk about the Power Phase of the OPT Model.  They address: - Should everyone do Phase 5? Why isn’t this optional? - Do you have to perform 1-5 reps in the strength portion? - What are some alternatives to using a wall or MB? I don’t have a wall in my gym and it seems that you need to have this to perform the explosive exercises - And much more!
