It's obvious that your butt does a great deal for you. Without it, you would not be able to walk up staircases, or take place a run, or raise to the top of a hill.

"Doing this isolated glute workout will target the three primary muscular tissues: gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus, and also gluteus medius," Marti says. Functioning all 3 is very important for developing well-shaped (word play here absolutely planned) strength.
