Glutes workout: 5 best exercises to target the biggest muscle in the body

Glutes workout: 5 best exercises to target the biggest muscle in the body

If you’re really looking to work your glutes, you’ve probably already added squats to your workout routine. Yet not all exercises are created equal, and to really target the different parts of your glutes, you should be mixing things up (and no, we don’t mean doing a squat challenge). 

Your glutes are the biggest muscle in your body and if your goal is to really build your glutes, you’ll need to target all the different parts of the muscle. By this we mean the gluteus medius, which is the highest of the glute muscles and is responsible for hip movement, for example when you step up onto something. Next is the gluteus minimus, which sits below the gluteus medius and also supports the hip, helping with walking and rotating the legs. The gluteus maximus is the largest of the three glute muscles, and is responsible for the rotation of the hip and the lateral rotation of the thigh. The gluteus maximus is also responsible for the shape of the butt, so is often one to target if you have a more aesthetic goal.
