⚡ Best Resistance Bands for Glutes
https://www.valeofm.com/2016/03/best-resistance-bands-for-glutes.html
Glutes are the strongest muscle group in the body. In fact, they consist of 3 muscles: Gluteus Maximus (GMax), Medius (GMed) and Minimus (GMin).
If you are an athlete, just fitness enthusiast or a layperson you must have strong glutes. Otherwise, you'll have faulty movement patterns ending up with low back pain, knee pain, neck pain, just name a few.
Why?
Because glutes act as primary hip extensors, help to maintain upright posture, act as
adductors and external rotator. The proper firing pattern is needed when walking, running and jumping. And when glutes are weak the lesser or other muscles are over-employed. E.g. spine muscles, which leads to back pain, piriformis muscle, which leads to sciatica, tensor fasciae latae (TFL), which may cause IT band syndrome, etc.
