10 of the best exercises for your glutes

10 of the best exercises for your glutes

The benefits of glute exercise (aka booty workouts) extend far beyond the aesthetics. Sure, you’ll get the definition and firmness, but the strengthening of those glutes is where it’s at.

Our glutes are a foundational group of muscles that support the body, mainly by stabilizing the pelvis. When our pelvis is stable, we can walk and run with better mechanics, and as a result, experience less low back or knee pain.

If you have an office job, integrating glute work into your routine is a must. Sitting all day weakens the glutes, so it’s important to counteract that with exercise.

Here are 10 glute moves to get you started. Try incorporating 2-3 of them for 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions at least once or twice per week. And stay tuned for the release of NEOU’s 10x10x10 Booty Challenge.
