Hip & Glute Strength for Better Balance and Stability | 15-Minute Pilates Workout
The muscles around your hips and pelvis play an important role in stability and balance when you walk and move. This 15-minute Pilates workout uses a resistance band to strengthen the hips and glutes while working on pelvic stability, balance and lower-body control.
You’ve likely seen some of these exercises before — at the gym or maybe in physical therapy — but small changes in setup and technique can make a big difference in the effectiveness of your workout. In this video, I share tips and adjustments to help you better engage the hips and glutes and get more out of each repetition.
The video begins with setup and equipment information. Exercises begin at 2:40.
