  I do glute exercises every night while I brush my teeth. Tie one habit to another habit that’s strong is a great way to develop the new habit.

  I just had to come back to this video to comment. I&apos;ve had 12 years of my right SI joint getting progressively more stuck, making me even worry about perhaps developing ankylosing spondylitis. I did try squatting and hip bridges to strengthen my glutes. Went to 3 physical therapists. Had dry needle therapy, massages, adjustments. NEVER in my life, I would have thought that just standing on one leg and lifting the other to the side for 3x8 for just ONE WEEK, would fix my issue! I owe you!!

  About a year ago, I had a minor stroke, and due to the stroke, I was unable to balance myself for a week. To make a long story short, I went back to work, which involved real physical lifting and bending. But I always felt off balance. I started getting back pains so bad that I had to stop working. I went to a spine doctor who told me I had three herniated discs. One doctor told me I needed surgery, and another told me there was nothing really bad with my back causing back pain or sciatica. I stayed in bed for eight months, doing nothing, hoping for the pain to go away. I finally went to see another spine doctor who told me I must be having SI joint problems, so I have to see a pain management doctor this month to get an SI joint injection to see if that&apos;s the root of my problem. So I started searching YouTube videos, and I ran into your channel and immediately started doing some of the exercises that you recommended, balancing glutes. I immediately started to feel better and even felt like I was walking in balance again. I am going to continue doing these exercises, and I want to thank you so much for all the valuable information that you have given me through your channel..

  Dr. Brandt, I am a dental hygienist and have struggled with my hip pain, probably about 5 years into my career. As a Dental Hygienist, we have a tendency to lean towards the right in order to access our patient&apos;s mouth and we hold that position. I would say for roughly 6 hours a day. I have been to several chiropractors which help for short periods of time but nothing that held the adjustment. I did just your standing exercises and my left leg was so weak, It was shaking by Lyft five on that side. Literally, after doing three sets of those leg lifts, I immediately felt relief through my hips. Unbelievable! You are a unicorn of a physician. I thank you and thank you and thank you again, for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I wish I could kiss you, but I can&apos;t so here&apos;s an emoji kiss. 😘 You are awesome sauce with a cherry on top! ❤

  Oh my gosh! &nbsp;I wish I had had the ability to be seen by you many years ago. &nbsp;At 50 I began having SI pain. &nbsp;I saw MD’s, multiple pain docs, even surgeons for help. &nbsp;After 10+ years, chiropractic adjustments, injections, even a lumbar fusion still with no relief, I asked to go to PT. &nbsp;Turns out, it was all due to my weak Glute Medius! &nbsp;I can’t even describe how much less pain I am in now as I continue keeping all 3 glutes strong. &nbsp;If you suffer from SI joint pain, this could be the answer for you.

  I have been struggling with this pain for 2 months out of nowhere. I just did this after randomly finding this video and I felt instant relief. The sets are HARD if this muscle area is truly this weak, but the comfort afterwards was amazing. Now to build consistency!
