Most moms aren’t walking around trying to clench their glutes all day…
…but a lot of them are doing it without realizing it 👀
I see it all the time during the most normal parts of your day—standing at the sink, holding your baby, bath time, just moving around. There’s this subtle, constant gripping that sneaks in.
And over time, that can leave your glutes feeling tight, overworked, and honestly not that strong… sometimes even contributing to that flatter “mom butt” look, more pelvic floor tension, and low back discomfort.
Here’s the part that surprises people—your glutes aren’t meant to be “on” all day.
They need to be able to turn on and fully relax if you actually want them to work well.
So for your Try This Tuesday, just start checking in a few times a day.
When you’re doing something routine, ask yourself—“am I clenching right now?”
If you are, let them soften a bit and shift your position.
It’s simple, but it matters.
But also—this isn’t just about relaxing more.
If you actually want stronger, more functional glutes, you need to train them well too. Not just squeezing your butt or doing random exercises, but following a program that actually hits all parts of the glutes and teaches them how to work with your core and pelvic floor.
That combination is what makes the difference.
If you’re not sure where to start or feel like your glutes just aren’t “working” the way they should, that’s exactly what we figure out in a performance pelvic floor PT session. Send me a DM to get started💌
