One of my pet peeves is- breath holding while lifting weights

21/02/2026

I LOVE a barbell hip thrust for glute strength! Here’s what I see people get wrong most when it comes to this exercise.

Simple tweaks can make a big difference to your overall results when it comes to strength training!

- Pre activation of glutes is the key to correcting poor muscle firing patterns. Always add these in before any lower body weights

- Sequence of exercises - always start with glute weights if you’re training that area as opposed to starting with squats. Reason being often people are very quad dominant so if training squats before hip thrusts is less likely you’ll get good glute activation

- Too much movement through the spine.
Our glutes don’t cross the pelvis into our lower back and if you watch the video you’ll notice the effort is pit more into the way my pelvis moves than my lower back. Perfect this and it will completely change the way you feel this exercise

- Too much weight on the barbell - in most people the glutes are weaker than the hamstrings and lower back. If you load up too heavy the stronger muscles will just take over and give little chance for the glutes to grow.

- One more thing to think about.. if you’ve never had ‘DOMS’ in your glutes after a lower body weights sessions it’s very likely they aren’t switched on properly.

If you need help with glute activation please reach out to us at Soma Haus 💚💚

S I D E P L A N K S - One of the harder exercises to get right and one that requires good upper body strength and core activation - using your breath to feel it in the right areas. I often add it into my side lying series to challenge the obliques and upper body endurance. For a challenge you could add a dumbbell or band into the mix 🔥🔥

With Christmas fast approaching it can be challenging to find time to prioritise your wellness. Below are my top tips for you to still find time for yourself this spring leading into the festive season.

🫶🏻 Set realistic expectations to avoid burnout or motivation loss. If this means it’s more realistic for you to drop from 2 workouts to 1 then do it. You’re still moving your body.

🫶🏻 Get your kids involved in a workout. Ok it might not be as smooth sailing as if it was by yourself but it might mean you can get that second or third session in.

🫶🏻 Find some me time (no matter how small) sometimes 5 minutes of solitude is all you need to regroup and de stress. Get up 5 minutes earlier, play hide and seek and find a really good hiding spot 😂 have a shower with the bathroom door locked.

🫶🏻 Prioritise sleep to decrease stress, fatigue and burnout. If you struggle to sleep I’ve found that a great magnesium glycine supplement does wonders.

🫶🏻 Don’t over think the extra eating with family etc but always make healthy choices when you can. I always set myself a rule to never go back for seconds and take my time to chew each mouthful. This allows my body time to register fullness. This often takes our brain 20mins

🫶🏻Enjoy this time with family and get and do something fun and active together - backyard cricket, bushwalks, bike rides, lake swims.

Your correct position is so important to us here at Soma Haus. We want you to feel it in all the right muscles so that you can walk out feeling stronger than when you came in (that’s after you’ve wobbled your way down the stairs 😅) If correct technique is important to you drop us a 🔥 we know it should be 🙌🏻

Let’s be real for a minute.. those babies with have that we love so dearly do something interesting to our glutes during pregnancy that you haven’t given a second thought to during, but after they resemble something similar to more pancake less peach 🤯🫠

This is great for buying jeans, but doesn’t actually help us if we never work to regain our strength in that area moving forwards.

Below are my top tips for regaining your pelvic strength and stability postpartum with regards to the glutes

1. Activation - I can’t stress this enough! If you miss this step chances are you’ll still end up with problems down the track eg: lower back pain or lower legs problems
2. Small movements that target the glutes - a great place to start here is with someone 1:1 so your technique can be closely monitored to make sure other muscles aren’t taking over
3. Build on strength - lower body classes here at Soma Haus is a great place to start 😉 however just make sure not to start heavier than you can manage. Lighter is better to start for glute training otherwise your lower back will over work
4. Consistency - it takes time to strengthen this area but it should be one of the strongest muscles in the body. Be consistent with your pre exercise activation over a long period of time and always start your strength workouts with glute exercises over quad exercises

Thanks for reading and reach out if you have any questions 💕
