If you want to build a stronger butt, you’ll want to use exercises and activities that target your glutes. The “glutes” are actually three different muscles: the gluteus maximus (the largest muscle), the gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus.
You can’t always change the shape of your glutes, but you can make them firmer and stronger with the right exercises. The key is working all the muscles from different angles with different exercises and cardio activities.
The glutes are the largest muscle group in the body and play an important role in moving and stabilising your body during exercise, holding your body upright and helping you to move powerfully throughout the day.
They provide shape to your buttocks — just like the biceps, you can train your glute muscles to become larger. When people talk about “booty gains” they’re really referring to building their glutes.
As the largest muscle group of the body, effectively activating and training your glutes can burn serious calories in a short space of time and boost your capacity to become physically stronger.
Here are some exercises to strengthen your glutes:
- Dumbbell Squat to Press.
- Bulgarian Squat with Slam Ball.
- Landmine Squat Press.
- Back Squat.
- Lateral Pistol Squats on Rower.
- Sumo Squat.
- Squat Jump Tap.
- Tricep Extension Squat.
