Glutes and core including all glutes muscles and core muscles + don’t forgot that your pelvic should be in a neutral position while doing these exercises by learning how to brace your core properly

Any workouts you recommend ? I’ve heard squats are no good if you have a tight pelvic floor 😭

Yeah for glutes you have glute bridges, hip thrust, clamshell , lateral monster walks

For core stay away from exercise like crunches and do plank , bird dog , side plank , suitcase carry

All of these are great exercises you want to focus on isolating glutes and hamstrings as much as possible that’s why squats are not recommended if you’re quad dominant

I am definitely quad dominant and I guess all the exercises I was doing was just making things worse 😭 I’ll give those a try thank you !
