Just started strong curves program the other day...but cannot feel my glutes working. Am I doing something wrong? Its a little discouraging as im worried im going to mainly be building on my legs and not my glutes in the end :/

    I have only started reading this book but

    he covers this phonomenon early on Did you do his fit test? He says if you dont feel the activation to coninue doing the fit test until you do He discusses this in great detail

    Perhaps you should reread the intro

    I agree with msdibs. What program are you starting? Don't jump right in to the intermediate or advanced programs.

    Look for "Glute Activation" in the book. It's a common problem, and there are tricks for waking up those sleeping muscles.

    Agree with all of the above once you get the focus right you will feel it even with no weight added. I couldnt believe the soreness i had just doing the body weight bridges and lifts and ive been doing lunges,squats romanian deadlifts with weights for quite awhile.
