Welcome to todays post! We are going to explore how to strengthen your glutes, to protect your knees and lower back when training.

Specifically;

• why they hurt when you train, 
• what to avoid if they hurt, and 
• how to fix it so you can train like you never had a sore knee in your life

Many women experience knee pain when they start exercise, often not immediately after, but a few months in. It can be really off-putting and we wonder what the point of exercise is if it’s only going to ‘make things worse’. 

The problem with sore knees is; 

• It interferes with your training
• Impacts your results, and
• Can lead to injury

I see it with almost ALL women, and it’s an easy fix, so that’s what I want to shine a light on today! 

I used to be the same, in fact, I wore almost all of my knee cartilage as a teenager because I would compulsively run, which is how I ended up in the weights room in the first place over 20 years ago! 

There are many causes and kinds of knee pain we can experience, but the main kind is due to the female structure. So your number one problem is that you are a WOMAN

You can’t change that. 

But guess what? It is an easy fix, and in the video below I take you through (in enormous detail) how to strengthen your glutes for long term training success.
