Toning your glutes isn’t an easy task when you’re struggling with knee pain. Common exercises, such as squats and lunges, won’t do you any good, and that’s exactly why Pamela Reif decided to come up with an amazing workout routine for everyone struggling with knee pain.
Reif’s 10-minute workout video is targeted at everyone who has bad joints or suffers from knee pain. Lunges and squats are not included and this workout features kickback pulses, leg bridges, donkey kicks, leg holds, and several more exercises you can do without putting a strain on your knees.
In addition to demonstrating the moves, Reif also reminds her followers that it’s crucial to think about your glutes every step of the way and try to really make them burn.
“Make sure you don’t release tension and relax at the lower point of the motion (e.g. the lower point of a glute bridge), but rather KEEP the tension during the entire movement and squeeze ‘even more’ at the upper point of the motion,” wrote Reif onYouTube.
In addition to being knee-friendly, this workout is also super-fun. It’s choreographed to the beat of catchy EDM hits including “Let’s Love” by Sia and David Guetta, and you can do it at home with no equipment.
