Glute Activation

Do Glute Activation exercises need to be done before a workout or can they be done anytime? Like if I’m doing floor work that is activating the glutes will this help me when I do my leg workouts? Thanks!

In my experience, activating my glutes is something that I need to consistently practice. I think repetition helps so doing glute activating floor work any time is good. But I need to think about form and glute activation during the leg work too. I’ve never tried a program with exercises to specifically fire them pre-lower body workout, so can’t speak to that exactly. But I know I have to focus on engaging my glute muscles to really make them work and get better results.

Hope that helps and I’m curious to hear what others say.
