These powerhouses, your glute muscles are the largest muscles in your body. They are extremely important when performing because they provide stability, strength and protect your back and knee against injuries. 🌟🏋️♀️
💡 Meet Your Glutes:
Your glutes, or gluteal muscles, are a group of three major muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. They're located in your buttocks and have several critical functions:
1️⃣ Hip Extension: The gluteus maximus is responsible for extending your hip joint, allowing you to stand up from a seated position, climb stairs, and sprint.
2️⃣ Hip Abduction: The gluteus medius and minimus help you move your leg away from the midline of your body, a movement often used when walking, running, or balancing on one leg.
3️⃣ Hip Rotation: These muscles also assist in hip rotation, which is essential for sports like golf and tennis.
4️⃣ Postural Support: Your glutes help maintain proper posture and pelvic alignment, reducing the risk of lower back pain.
