A Fresh Approach to Strengthening Your Back, Hips and Glutes

By strengthening glutes, these exercises promote posture and stability. The movements also help stabilize the pelvis, preventing injuries and promoting balance —especially important to seniors. Glutes also come into play when performing daily activities such as climbing stairs, lifting and carrying.

These movements are done while standing and stepping sideways, with or without resistant bands. While doing these exercises, be sure to stand straight with a strong core and your shoulders back.
