Firstly, the standing position allows for a\ngravity-assisted stretch \u2013 which does not require any pulling of the leg.\nSecondly, the bar allows for a simultaneous stretch through the back\/shoulders.\n<\/li><li>The\nstanding glute stretch allows for better awareness and control of posture,\nwhich facilitates a better stretch. As you drop into the stretch, aim the hips\nback and down \u2013 this will cause you to hang off the bar (slightly) and bring a\nstretch into the back\/shoulders. <\/li><li>Mobility\nin the hips highlights an important connection with mobility in the shoulders.\nIn many functional situations, both are required simultaneously (eg. overhead\nsquat), or in opposition (box jump). It\u2019s also worth noting that gravity is an\nimportant force that must be appreciated and managed effectively during\nfunctional movement. The use of gravity to assist hip mobility during this\nexercise can help to increase active awareness of position, balance and\nposture. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Glute stretch\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/194318171?h=ad70da3bad&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you like the tutorial for the superfunctional glute stretch?
