1. Glute activation exercises

Having torn the anterior cruciate ligament in my knee a few months back, these horrible little movements are now a painful daily chore. You basically have to lie down in various uncomfortable positions and lift your leg slightly, in sets of 20. I have to do 20 minutes of them before every single session to help heal my injury, and the thought of never having to do them again seems like some kind of distant paradise at the moment. TRP VERDICT: Hip, hip hooray … you’ve got your wish.
