As a certified personal trainer, I’ve worked with many inactive clients and first-time gym goers over the years. I get it—many careers involve sitting at a desk for hours, which can easily lead to a sedentary lifestyle.
If you’re looking to counter the negative effects of prolonged sitting, a great place to start is focusing on your glutes, located in your buttocks. These three major muscles, responsible for stabilizing your pelvis and extending your hips, often become weak and deconditioned from sitting too long. Strengthening them can improve mobility, decrease aches and pains and help prevent future injuries.
