Your glutes play a major role in almost every movement, from walking and running to lifting and climbing stairs. But they’re often overlooked until discomfort or performance issues show up elsewhere.

Why it matters:
Strong, well-coordinated glutes help:

• Support your hips and spine, reducing stress on your knees and lower back.

• Power your stride when running, making each step more efficient.

• Improve stability and control during lifts like squats and deadlifts.

Quick tip:
Before your next workout, include glute-focused movements such as bridges, clamshells, or banded lateral steps. They help you connect to these muscles and prepare your body for more powerful, balanced movement.
