Hey Kath - well we definitely don't want that! Here are some ways to check your form to keep the pressure off of your knees for Glute Pulses! Better to be safe than sorry later!! Hope this helps for next time!1. Check Your Alignment
Keep your knees in line with your ankles, not drifting forward.
Your weight should stay in your heels, not your toes. You should be able to lift your toes up.
Slightly tuck your pelvis to keep your core engagedĀ and reduce pressure on the knees.
2. Adjust Your Range of Motion
Smaller is better: keep the pulses small and controlled, not deep or bouncy.
If you feel knee tension, lessen your bend. Even a few inches can activate the glutes.
3. Engage the Right Muscles
Think: squeeze from the glutes, not push from the knees.
You can even lightly tap your glutesĀ to help them fire correctly.
4. Foot Positioning Matters
Feet should be hip-width or slightly wider, with toes pointing slightly outward.
Avoid letting knees collapse inward. Press them out gently to stay aligned.
