The gluteal muscles, commonly known as the glutes, are one of the largest and most powerful muscle groups in the human body. They play a crucial role in various athletic movements, including squats, hinges, running, and anything else that requires the hip to extend. Therefore, developing these muscles can significantly improve athletic performance. In addition, well-trained glutes contribute to a toned and fit physique, making them a popular focus for many fitness enthusiasts.
Before embarking on a glute training regimen, it's important to understand the anatomy of the glutes. They consist of three main muscles: the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus. Each muscle has a unique role, but all work together to enable hip movement and maintain balance. There is a little trick you should be performing before starting your glute focused workout that I mention in the podcast - so be sure to give it a listen!
