If you have low back pain, you don't want to pick something up off the ground.

So I think there's so much truth to this and not just with working out, but like even nowadays, if you're an entrepreneur on social media, you feel guilty the rest of your life because you could always be doing more.

But it's like, what's sustainable?

You could work.

Now we can work.

especially you, how many comments you must get, how many DMs you must get, how many emails, how many opportunities there are.

Like I realized for me with my career, I'm like, if I lift weights, if I train clients for a few hours, if I read research at night for a couple hours and make a social media post, that's a busy day, you know, and respond to the comments and stuff.

I did good.

And we need to pat ourselves on the back.

That's hard to sustain day in, day out, week in, week out.

Because you can take on too much and then you fizzle.

What's realistic?

What's realistic?

And I've had to learn, quit taking on too much.

And quit feeling guilty that you do this consistently.

You have something sustainable.

The glutes do three main things, hip extension, hip abduction, hip external rotation.

They also do posterior pelvic tilt, which is like hip extension, but I'll explain all three roles.

if you're sprinting your leg is out in front of you you power it down you know your foot touches down and you accelerate forward that's hip extension front to back the thigh is up it's moving downwards most people are aware of hip extension it also does hip external rotation which means think of a baseball player you know about ready to swing a bat

They're going to rotate and the hip rotates laterally so you twist the body laterally.
