If you suffer from low back pain, a “tight” low back, tight hamstrings or all three, you may need to simply “turn on” you glute muscles (your butt) in order to alleviate the pain/tightness. I have created a simple series of 3 movements that you should begin using as part of your daily routine and prior to any workout to get your glutes firing properly and prevent low back pain.
