Butt Workout description
Sir Mix a Lot loves you. The gluteal muscles are the primary muscles of the butt. These are composed of gluteus maximus (the largest of the gluteal muscles and one of the largest muscles of the
body), gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The glutes (your butt) perform a variety of movements around the hip - including, but not limited to, hip extension, abduction and medial and lateral
rotation. As such, your butt - and the glutes that inspire it (and others, no doubt) - are pivotal for performance in most sports, and play a critical role in running and jumping. Traditional
powerlifting movements, which demand hip extension under high tension - tend to be excellent for developing the glutes, although additional movements are necessary for complete development.
The shape and appearance of the butt is determined not only by the size and resting tone of the gluteal muscles, but also posture, fat deposits (too much can cause sagging, but equally, a moderate
amount can improve appearance - proper nutritional considerations are equally a must for your butt), and the size and development of the hamstrings.
