What Are the Gluteal Muscles?
Everyone has heard of the gluteus maximus, the muscle in your bottom that gives it a rounded shape. But, did you know that in your buttocks is actually a group of three muscles, known as the gluteal muscles, that are responsible for moving the hip and thigh? We’ve highlighted the area where these muscles attach to the body on the model. The exercises we’ve provided focus on these three muscles:
- Gluteus Maximus - The largest in the group, this muscle is connected to the tailbone and is one of the strongest muscles in the body. It is the top muscle and is what gives the buttocks its round shape.
- Gluteus Medius - Attached to the top of the thigh bone, this muscle allows the thigh to rotate enabling a steady gait when we walk.
- Gluteus Minimus - The innermost muscle, it supports the rotation and extension of the hip.
Why Is It Important to Build the Gluteal Muscles?
Having a shapely and attractive buttocks can help create a more positive body image and help you feel like you look better in your clothes. But more than beauty should be your motivation to build and strengthen these important muscles. These muscles play an important role in your anatomy and your health by:
- Supporting the body’s core
- Impacting overall body strength
- Helping keep the body balanced
- Supporting a range of body movements including walking
