Best Glutes Exercises

Browse all 85 glutes exercises

The glutes are the largest and most powerful muscles in the body, driving hip extension, abduction, and external rotation. They are essential for squats, deadlifts, sprinting, and overall athletic performance.

The gluteal group consists of three muscles: gluteus maximus (the largest, responsible for hip extension and the primary driver of squats and deadlifts), gluteus medius (hip abduction and pelvic stability), and gluteus minimus (assists the medius).
