Fix your broken bum!

If you work long hours in an office and spend a great portion of that time sitting chances are you're suffering from a broken bum!

A well functioning bottom is crucial for good posture. Your glutes are the largest mucle in your body, they're responsible for stabilising your hips and protecting your lower back. Chances are if you suffer from lower back pain or knee problems the reason could potentially come down to your glutes not working properly.

What to do? Here are two very effective exercises that will not only fix your bum to improve your posture and hip stability but will have you looking great in those jeans!

Exercise #1 Side Glute Raises

Exercise #2 Reverse Lunges
I take you through my favourite exercise to get those glutes fired! Go here to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZDkAK6CDQM

Combine these two and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how great your glutes will feel!
