Why It’s Important To Have a Strong Core and Glutes

Did you know the core and glutes are the center of movement? These muscles are key players for posture and mobility, so you don’t want to skip the Core & Glute Workout I’ve put together for you. The free download is available at the bottom of this post. 

A Little Anatomy

Your glutes are the largest, most important group of muscles in your body. They are vital to movements such as walking and going up steps. The largest gluteus muscles are the gluteus maximus. They help propel you forward when you walk or run. The gluteus medius and minimus stabilize the pelvic and promote hip abduction (lifting the leg to the side) and thigh rotation. 

Strong glutes help protect you from knee, hip, and back injuries. They also provide support for your spine for pelvic stability and good posture. 

Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen to work together. Strong core muscles lead to better balance and stability. They also make it easier to do activities such as golfing, running, and bending to tie your shoes. 

Your Core & Glute Workout

The workout I’ve created for you will have your core and glute muscles screaming–in a good way. You’ll be alternating from your abs to your glutes through seven exercises. For the best results, complete the circuit 3-5 times. 

After you’ve done the workout, come back here and leave a comment to let us know how you did!

Hello

I’m Lana

Author, Speaker, Trauma-Informed Life Coach, and Nutrition Coach

In 2020, I almost lost my life when an extremely rare autoimmune disease led to my first double-lung transplant.  Just 5 years later, I faced another life-threatening battle through a second double-lung transplant. Through it all, God continues to teach me how to live with intention, purpose, and passion—even in the midst of tragedy and trials.

He’s called me to share what I’m learning with you. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Lana's Books

Written by Lana Lamkin

I'm Lana — a woman who has known loss, carried heavy things, and held on to hope through faith. I know what it feels like to have life look nothing like you planned, to lose something you can't replace, and to wonder if you have what it takes to keep going. I also know what it feels like to come out the other side. As an author, speaker, and life coach — and someone who has survived two lung transplants — I walk alongside women who are ready to stop just surviving and start living with purpose. I write about faith, healing, grief, and the quiet strength that grows in us when life gets hard. Whatever you're carrying, you'll find a seat at this table. You can read more about my story in my memoir, Breathing in the Unexpected, available on Amazon.

The Day I Almost Forgot

Friday marked eleven years since my sweet daddy went to be with Jesus. The day itself unfolded quietly, so much so that I almost didn’t notice its significance. It wasn’t until the evening, when I glanced at the date, that I realized the anniversary had slipped by,...
