I want to start my opinion by sharing the the information about the importance of glutes exercise.
Glute exercises play a significant role, and it is not only the reason why people want to have a fit and beautiful butt.
Of course that is a nice bonus, but the advantages glute development goes much further.
DAILY Mobility and efficacy.
.The glutes are used in many daily tasks but you may fail to notice them and majority of us go through this as a matter of course.
.But be it when you are on your feet after leaving your desk, or on the stairs, or even in a brisk walk, your glutes are working.
.These simple activities can be made more comfortable and efficient by regular exercises of the glutes and prevent the load and trauma.
POSTURE AND BACK HEALTH
.Glutes are vital in ensuring good posture. Once again, this is what the majority of people are likely to neglect.
.As an illustration, when a person experiences lower back pain, are you aware that it is normally caused by weak and poorly developed glutes?
.Glutes assist in maintaining your spine straight and this would ease backache and reduce the risk of injury.
.This is specifically true when your work routine or lifestyle is one that sees you sitting a lot which may result in weak and non-functional glutes that I noted earlier which may cause posture issues.
EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
.You require powerful buttocks when you are in the gym. This is more so when you are doing compound lifts or even more complicated exercises like the sports conditioning exercises.
.Healthy glutes can greatly help to improve your overall performance in your exercise including those of the lower body.
.No matter what you prefer, aerobics, yoga, Pilates, weight lift or even basic jogging, having a fit glute bund is always good in enhancing your strength, balance, and endurance in your workout program.
WORKING WITH OTHER MUSCLES
.In the broader perspective, gluteal strength training can help in increasing the general fitness of your body.
.When done well, the glute exercises normally train other muscles like the thighs and core which help the muscle to be stronger and the neuromuscular attachment.
List of exercises
Hip thrust
Instructions to perform the Barbell Hip Thrust:
1.The correct hip thrust posture is lying on the floor with a bench directly behind you and a loaded barbell lying above your legs with the hands gripping it in an overhand position and legs placed below the hips.
2.In case you have any concern about the floor, then you can use the barbell with the rubber bumper.
Make sure that you roll the bar such that it is directly over your hips.
3.Bend backwards along the bench with your shoulders against the upper part of the bench.
4.Start by kicking with the feet and straightening your hips vertically and raise your barbell.
5.When your glutes are locked out, then slowly reversal the motion and bring your hips to the initial position.
6.During this workout, you want to use your heels to support your weight and your back should be in a straight posture too; otherwise, it will put a lot of pressure on the lower back or neck. The idea is to do this exercise to build glute slowly and in a controlled process of which form is more important than lifting heavy weights since by proper posture there are low chances of injuries.
WHAT MAKES IT EFFECTIVE: Barbell Hip Thrust exercises take hips into complete extension and optimal range of motion which is one of the primary functions of the glutes. Note also that though it is a type of exercise that involves the use of the barbell, you will also be able to place a pair of dumbbells on your thighs and do it similarly. Resistance bands can also be used to do a Glute Bridge. It is among the most effective glute hypertrophy exercises and hence any serious training regime must incorporate the hip thrust or the bridge.
Set up
HOW TO DO THE STEP UP:
1.The initial stance is with your tall posture with a pair of dumbbells beside you. To begin with, you can use light dumbbells.
2.In this case, preloading the muscle is to merely lean forward slightly when stepping up and onto a raised structure such as an aerobic step up box.
3.Follow your steps, and make sure that you get yourself totally on top of the raised platform and then push the other knee in front of you to reach full extension of the hip.
4.Be stable on your core when doing this exercise. Where you do not have the dumbbells, you can use a weight plate in each hand.
WHAT MAKES IT EFFicitous: Lean forward, before your glutes to prime to work since they counteract and restrict overextension of the forward direction movement during your strides.
Reverse Hyper
HOW TO DO THE REVERSE HYPER:
1.To do a Reverse Hyper, you lie flat on reverse hyperextension machine, with hips lined up with the edge of the pad, with the handles in place to stabilize you, and your legs hanging out of the bench.
2.Keep the bent knees and lift them up with the help of glutes and hips till they become parallel to the ground or even a bit higher.
3.The motion must not be momentum-driven but must be under control and a strong core should be maintained during the exercise.
WHAT MAKES IT EFFICACIO: The Reverse Hyper is effective in the development of powerful glutes since it entails hip extension which is a major task of gluteal muscles. In Reverse Hyper, you are obliged to pull up the legs acting against the gravity (additional weight, etc.), and this action is fulfilled by the extension of hips.
Romanian Deadlift
The Romanian Deadlift: HOW TO.
1.You will begin standing straight with your feet flat with your knees apart by your hips and hold your pair of dumbbells in front of your thighs with the palms facing your body.
2.At this point straighten your back and stoop on your hips. Bend the knees a little -so as to take the strain out of them.
3.Slide the two weights down towards the ground keeping them close to your shins. Bend down until either your hamstrings stretch, or you only have a small distance to go before the dumbbells touch the ground depending on your flexibility.
4.Use your glutes and hamstrings to lift your hips forward and back to the standing position and bring the dumbbells to the initial starting position.
5.Also, make sure that your core is active during the movement, in order to maintain a neutral position in the spine.
WHAT MAKES it EFFECTive: The deadlift variation is effective in muscle gain in the glutes since it will be like hip extension under load; and this directly involves and works the gluteal muscles.
Curtsy Lunge
HOW TO DO THE CURTSY LUNGE:
1.Crossover Lunges, or Curtsy Lunges are performed with a backwards and cross-body movement, rather than straight back lunge. Your first thing to do is to take a step backwards with your left foot behind the right foot, getting careful not to strike your left knee on the ground.
2.Go back to the start and do the same on the other side and keep repeating on the other side.
3.Such pattern produces a balance difficulty, which requires management of hips in the frontal plane or stability side-to-side. Keep the body intact in this exercise.
WHAT MAKES IT EFFECTIVE: This exercise is effective on the glutes due to the special demand it will impose on the hip abductors. These are the muscles that are involved in stabilization of the hips as well as the lateral motion, which include the gluteus medius and minimus. The cross-over action of this lunge makes the use of these muscles more persuasive in the development of well-rounded glutes.
Low Bar Squat
HOW TO DO THE LOW BAR SQUAT:
1.Set up The Low Bar Squat is performed by placing the barbell at the height that you would place the barbell at on the squat rack. Hold the barbell with hands slightly more out of the shoulder and feet slightly more out of the shoulder.
2.Start the squat position to sit backwards and flex the knees, making sure that the chest is upright and the back of the spine is straight.
3.Bend yourself to the point of parallelism or even a little less than the ground with the hips and involve the glutes and hamstrings.
4.Use your heels to push off again to the top of the movement making your hips and knees fully extended.
5.It is important to have the abs tight so as to move.
WHAT IS EFFECTIVE: The forward lean of this squat variant gives a greater load on the posterior chain and is therefore very effective at reaching and training the glutes.
In conclusion, all the listed exercise will give you the proper result if you do it correctly and consistency.
