Walking is great… but it is not building your glutes the way you think it is. Research shows brisk walking activates less than 32 percent of the glutes, and weak glutes are strongly linked to back pain, slower metabolism, and higher fall risk after 40. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the five science-backed glute exercises that actually turn your lower body back on and explains the subtle form tweaks that make all the difference. This is not about vanity. It is about metabolic health, structural strength, and protecting your body as you age. If you want stronger knees, a healthier back, and real lower-body strength after 45, this is where to start.
