The Glutes Are Not Playing as Big of a Role in the Running Cycle

When your glutes are most important is during weight acceptance. Your hamstring muscles actually have a larger moment arm acting on the hip than your gluteus maximus does. So if you've been sitting for a while the thing to probably do is some light plyometrics before you go for a run like some jumping jacks just double like hops if you will. That's one of the best warm up exercises that you can do because you're actually going to be warming up the structures that are going to be called on the most during running.
