🛑 Stop blaming your back. Train this muscle instead.

If you struggle with low back pain after a run or workout, weak glute medius muscles are a very common culprit.

Weak glute med muscles cause low back pain by failing to stabilize the pelvis during movement, forcing the lumbar spine muscles to overcompensate and handle excessive load.

When weak, this hip muscle allows the pelvis to dip or rotate, causing strain on the lower back.

Strengthen your glute medius and give your back a break with these three simple but effective moves:

✅ Wall Press Squat
✅ Side Plank with Leg Lift
✅ Clams

📍SAVE this workout for your next leg day or pre-run routine and let me know how it feels!
