Isometric Glute Medius Exercise for Runners

This morning during an S&C session with some of our group up here in Norwich, I quickly recorded one of my favourite exercises used to re-educate and strengthen Glute Medius.


This ‘isometric hold’ exercise is quick, simple and equipment free :)



From outside looking in, it may look like the leg closest to the tree (wall, post, etc…) that you’re pushing with, but it should be the muscles surrounding the standing hip that feel like they’re doing the majority of the work! This is because Glute Med in particular is having to work over-time to stabilise the pelvis, providing a solid base to abduct the ‘pushing’ hip from.


As I prove in the video below, you can pretty much do this drill anywhere!
