The Best Butt Exercise
Have you ever wondered what butt exercise would be needed to give your body the perfect curve when viewed form behind? Many people have an overly exaggerated preoccupation with this part of the body. For most women (and some men) this is where the majority of the excess fat is stored on the body. You may have heard the reference –
Do you have a pear or an apple shape? Anatomically speaking this muscle is referred to as the gluteus maximus. It is responsible for hip extension. It is one of the largest and strongest muscles in the body. For you to be able to tighten this muscle it must function correctly. How can you tell if your butt muscle is functioning properly? Perform this test. (You will need a partner.) Lay flat on your belly and relax all muscles. Lift your hip up off the ground with minimal bending at your knee. Have your partner place a finger on the glute muscle, one on the hamstring of the same leg and on the muscle of the low back that lies close to the spine. As you lift your hip the butt muscle should fire first, meaning it should contract or tighten before the other two muscles. If this does not occur it will be very difficult for you to change the shape of this body part even if you are using the very best butt exercise. The good news! This muscle can be easily retrained. Give the retraining the glutes program found below a try.
