Rump Roaster, Benefits of Butt Exercises

Bigger butts have become more popular lately among women. In fact they have nearly become a hot fashion accessory. This part of the body serves more than a healthy appearance. In the case of men, building strong glute muscles adds to a well rounded physique and improved support for athletic activity. The glute muscles tend to be very thick and can potentially provide a lot of strength when engaging in demanding physical activity, like playing sports.
Body parts like the hamstring can be prone to strains and pulls when put under a lot of stress. Strong well developed glutes are more resistant to these sorts of injuries. Moreover well developed glute muscles contribute to a healthy back by providing pelvic stability, reducing the load of physical balance that is placed on the back muscles. Are we convinced yet? Now let us examine the best way to work and activate this vital muscle group. The most obvious is the infamous Barbell Back Squat.

This is a great exercise for overall strength building, but consider some squat variations to target and stimulate the glute muscles and increase strength and size. To increase the engagement of the glutes take a wider stance on these exercises and allow the feet to splay outward slightly.

Here are a few other exercises with the barbell that also target the glutes. These exercises create a greater challenge where the angle of the weight is off balance and forces the glutes to stabilize while building strength.

Heavy weights are great for stimulating the muscles by overloading them but they are not able to engage the stabilizer muscles or the full range of motion that glutes allow. Fortunately body weight and resistance band exercises can more than make up for that limitation. What’s more the smaller gluteus medius which tends to be weaker is fully engaged and activated here. Many of these kinds of glute building exercises are easy to incorporate and can be done anywhere like at home or even while traveling. See the full range of exercises in the videos below.

An amazing home fitness system is the Brazil Butt Lift Workout program. Well suited for both men and women, this program was designed specifically to work the muscles of the buttocks and hips from all angles. The approach here is very active and dynamic, building a more functional foundation in this muscle group. This translates into muscles that will be useful in all aspects of physical activity.  The program also incorporates the use of resistance bands and wearable weights. Combine this with all of the other elements described above and you are certain to see a tremendous and positive change in the size, shape and conditioning of the buttocks.
