Why it’s important to have a strong butt

Before working on any muscle, it is healthy to remember to work not just on its strength and size, but also its mobility and range. “ means that the hip flexors take ‘less of the strain’ in a movement, and hip tightness can often cause lower back pain,” says England-based sports scientist and pilates instructor Esther Goldsmith in a Stylist article called Benefits Of Strong Glutes. A research on the effects of gluteus muscle strengthening exercises published in the Journal Of Physical Therapy Science says that the “…clinical application of exercise in this study showed that lumbar segmental stabilization exercise plus exercise to strengthen the muscles of the gluteus resulted in a greater decrease in low back pain disability index and increase in lumbar muscle strength and balance ability.” The other advantages are reduced knee pain and the ability to generate more power during workouts. That can mean knee pain or discomfort,” writes physical therapist Amy Koch in an article in Bestcare.org on the benefits of strong glutes. These are: Barbell hip thrust, the sumo dead-lift, barbell glute bridges, squats, loop band lateral walk, clam shells, single leg glute bridges, single leg hip thrusters, sumo squats and trap bar dead-lifts.
