Build a Better Booty: Exercises to Grow Your Glutes

Having a rounded, lifted booty is a common fitness goal for many. But strong glute muscles provide more than just an attractive shape - they are essential for proper movement and injury prevention. The glutes support day-to-day activities like walking, climbing stairs, getting in and out of a car, and maintaining good posture. Weak glutes can lead to poor form, muscle imbalances, and increased risk of knee, hip and back injuries.

Targeting your glutes with specific exercises can strengthen these important muscles for both function and aesthetics. The key is understanding the three glute muscles and how to work them.

All About Your Glutes

Your glutes, also known as your butt muscles, consist of three main muscles:

• Gluteus Maximus - The largest glute muscle, it forms the shape of your rear and moves your thigh. It powers movements like squats, lunges and hip thrusts.
• Gluteus Medius - Located on the side of your hips, it helps stabilize your pelvis and abduct your hip. Important for balance.
• Gluteus Minimus - The smallest glute, it also stabilizes your pelvis and rotates your thigh inward. Plays a role in rotational strength.
