'Here\'s an exercise to add to your glute workout routine. In this video I\'m going to show you a standing glutes exercise using a resistance band exercise to strengthen your butt muscles, a really important area for us runners. All you\'re going to need for this exercise is a mini resistance band, or a tied theraband, looped around the lower third of your shins. As far as glutes exercises without weights are concerned, this is one of my favourites. You\'ll also need a step. You can perform this exercise without a little bit of elevation, but it\'s easier done off a step of sorts. ************************ RESISTANCE BAND WORKOUT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrbwxlLsQTFMolxf5xpLaWquGhgSVVOVv SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=RunningRevolution MUSIC: https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired 30 DAY CHALLENGE: http://www.kinetic-revolution.com/30daychallenge/?sc=ytstandingglute ************************ With the band in place, stand on the edge of the step, but be sure to maintain a slight bend in the standing knee, rather then snapping your knee back into full extension. Imagine your standing in the middle of a clock face; ahead of you is 12 o’clock, 6 o\'clock behind you. Engage your core, and gently clench your butt. Then, if you\'re standing on your left leg, as I am here in the video, pull your right foot out towards 3 o\'clock for six reps, then 4 o\'clock for 6 reps, then 5 o\'clock then 6 o\'clock, each for six reps. Aim to do this 2-3 times through on each leg. You should begin to feel the effort around your hips, in your glutes after a handful of reps. Also, don\'t be reluctant to use a wall for stability if you feel like you need it. As with all glute strengthening exercises, the exercise is more about gluteal activation than balance - in fact - you need sufficient stability within the movement to help you engage the right muscles. So feel free to start with the wall, then ween yourself off it.
