The gluteus maximus is one of the largest muscles in the human body. We need it to stand upright, walk, run, and rotate our hips. Of course, it’s best known for its shapely appearance.

Over the past few years, fashion and social media have placed particular importance on the derrière. More women are trying to figure out how to get a bigger, rounder butt. Because the buttocks are composed of a series of muscles, it’s possible to train them just like any other muscle group. You can target your butt in the same way you target your biceps or abs. With the right exercises and a bit of perseverance, you can work to shape and tone your glutes.
