Confession time:
A portion of my clients are usually looking for one thing.
And it’s not ABS (that’s the other portion).
It’s actually to have stronger glutes…
A more defined back side…
Strong, sexy legs …
Something that simply looks good in a pair of pants—or even a night dress or miniskirt.
But here’s the thing:
Having strong glutes is not just about having the confidence to LOOK great wherever you go…
It’s also crucial for a faster metabolism and stronger body.
Oh, and it’s been said your glutes are as close to the fountain of youth as you’ll ever get, because keeping them strong keeps you young.
You see, when your glutes are weak, a lot of functional issues may arise.
You will have tighter hamstrings…
Pain in your lower back…
Knee pain…
Even shoulder and ankle pain.
But:
The minute you decide to develop your glutes, you’re going to notice a lot of things will change.
So, how exactly do you do it?
Besides the obvious answer of working your glutes, you need to have a solid plan that targets all the major muscles in your glutes.
I am talking about the gluteus maximus…the minimus…and the seldom spoken gluteus medius.
These three muscles make up your butt, or your gluteal area.
So how do you work them all to develop stronger glutes?
Here are some exercises:
Squats—this motion is great for developing your glutes—and your quads and hamstrings.
The more parallel to the floor you are in the downward motion, the more stress you’re going to put on your glutes.
This one exercise is the cornerstone to a strong butt and rock-solid glutes.
And if squats hurt your knees, you’re squatting wrong, let’s work on that, because this is a foundational human movement that we should never lose.
Deadlifts—although there are many different variations of this exercise, deadlifts are great for developing the lower back, hamstrings, and glutes.
Depending on what type you’re doing (straight leg, sumo, regular) you’re going to work different parts of your legs and glutes—which will only make every day task seem easier.
And to keep it simple, this exercise is just teaching you to pick things up and put things down, safely, something all humans need to be able to do.
Clamshell—although each muscle is worked in the various exercises mentioned before, your gluteus medius may not take the brunt of the work.
So you just need to include different exercises to target all three muscles in the glutes.
The clamshell is a perfect addition to any glute workout since it puts stress on the gluteus medius, therefore adding strength where you need it the most.
Other Exercises—there are plenty of other exercises you can add to your workout.
You can also include: lunges, dumbbell squats, one-legged deadlifts, opposite-arm single-leg deadlifts, lateral band walks, steps ups, or reverse leg lifts, just to name a few.
Throw a slide in there and you’ve added infinite possibilities.
Building a stronger butt is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be.
You just have to get off your butt to do it.
The right plan—one that includes the right exercises–will help you develop a stronger, leaner, well-toned butt…
…and give a boost in the overall strength of your body.
