That is the glute mediasis function, to get you back to that level position.

Well, ironically, every time you lift a foot off the ground to walk, you're getting a pelvis that drops side to side, right?

Every time you go in single leg stance, the pelvis is going to drop a little bit.

the people that have less control of that have more of what they call a Trendelenburg gait, where the pelvis rocks side to side as they walk.

It might look good on Instagram, but it's not going to do good for your back, right?

So you go back and forth.

Well, all that uncontrolled motion starts to wreak havoc, and eventually those muscles start to say, I got to provide this artificial stability, so what do I do?

I spasm it.

And so...

If you don't extend the plan beyond the fix, how do you then build that strength up to prevent it from coming back?

And so I'm all about not just the fixes, but really about the preventative things you can do to stave this off long term.

That's a good question.

So yeah, reverse hypers are an amazing exercise.

I like doing them because they're very easy to do anywhere.

You don't have to have resistance on them.

They make a great machine that actually provides resistance, straps over your legs that you can lift additional weight on.

But the challenge for most people, remember, they're chronically weak in these areas.

So even just the body weight lifting of their own legs is going to be a significant enough challenge to get overload.

but you can literally do it on like your bed in the morning.

You can get up, you lay enough of your torso on top of the bed so that you're not falling off the bed, but you can just have your legs hanging off your bed and your body up on top of the bed and do a reverse hyper.
