In just the last few months of exercise I have made significant improvements to my posture. However, in the course of that correction I am now recognizing a pop in my right leg just below my outer glute. I had stay out of the gym hoping some good stretches would help, and to my surprise the popping became more prominent. Last night i decided to hit the gym and do low weight high rep sets to get the blood moving. I started with a warm up on the stepper.. interesting after 3 mins and a good glute burn I noticed the pop was completely gone. After my bum cooled down it returned.. Similarly I have pops in my shoulders when doing arm circles specifically when moving my hands back over my head vs come forward over my head. I haven’t noticed the sessions helping in either of these and was wondering where you’d recommend I go from here. Ill post this inquiry to Chat GPT too and compare suggestions.

I realized I may not be activating my core properly and wanted to clarify, should it be: 1. Like sucking in my belly(how people do to look thinner in photos) OR 2. Like flexing(hardening) my abdomen? Thank you in advance, Fritz
