Glute engagement unlocked Feel that burn Drivin...
Now, the tendency here is to push and stand up, either because I'm throwing my arms, turning my chest, or just straightening my leg. But instead, I don't wanna straighten my leg. I wanna feel my glute, so I've rocked back. Now I feel my lead big toe, pinky toe, ball of my foot, and my heel pushing into the ground and helping and drive my hip back away from the ball. And when I stand here, and if I'm gonna stand here for about 60 seconds, to really feel this glute start to engage and you'll start to shake a little bit, that's totally normal. As you're getting your nervous system to wake up and learn to fire this, and then keep moving through this position, keep driving this lead hip back, not by pushing up with your quad, but by driving this hip back, letting my hips open, letting myself fall into side bend. That's all being done primarily by this lead glute.
Summary
The video explains how to properly engage your glutes by driving your hip back and maintaining foot contact. It emphasizes avoiding leg straightening and encourages holding the position to activate the muscles.
