Glute activation needs to be integrated with the mechanics of the foot.
🦶🏽 By keeping the foot and big toe anchored down as we torsion (rotate out) the lower extremity, we’re activating the glutes and integrating it with improved midfoot movement.
If the foot is in the air we’re not going to be able to change how the midfoot moves or interacts with the ground during gait.
🔑 If open chain glute activation isn’t making the gait improvements you’re looking for, then give this variation a try.
