Kinetic U Exercise Series - How To Do Glute Med Wall Slides
"Hey Team! Welcome back to Kinetic U!
Today, we're going to go over Glute Med Wall Slides.
This is important for lateral hip stability, because we'll be working out the glut medias muscle, right at the back of the hip.
So for this one we're going to setup right against the wall, laying on your side. You really want to have that bottom hip pressed up against the wall, top hip will be off just slightly, so you can slide your hand back there. From there, top leg will be straight, angle the knee and the toe down just slightly. You can use the front hand for stability on the ground if you'd like. From there, just a little lift and lower of the heel.
Okay, so you're not allowing that foot or the leg to rotate up as you lift your leg up. You're also not allowing the hip to height as well, that's why you want to keep the range of motion fairly small. You should be feeling most of the work through the back of the hip. If you feel it all through the front of the hip, try to adjust maybe bring the front, the top hip, a little bit forward.
It's going nice and smooth. It's important to either use socks or maybe a little towel behind the heel, so you can get some nice slide against the wall.
So have fun with that and be Kinetic!"
