Sentences with phrase «from weak hamstrings»

Not exact matches

Powerful glutes also help correct the muscle imbalances that many people have from sitting too much — tight hip flexors, weak glutes, and hamstrings.

If the gluteal muscles are weak or inhibited, most of your hip extension is going to come from your hamstrings.

But combine weak glutes with tight hip flexors and tight hamstrings from sitting down most of the day, and when it comes time to drop it like a squat: it's more like a glute fizzle than the bonfire you'd hoped for.
