It’s not just about looking good. Your glutes are there for other reasons. Of course, looking good and having firm and shapely glutes is great and you’ll definitely look great with the right type of jeans. However, glutes are fundamental in movements like jumping and sprinting and are crucial to everyday movements like standing or climbing stairs. Additionally, glutes exercises play a key role in relieving low-back pain.
That’s why we brought you 4 glutes exercises, courtesy of EVO Norway personal trainer Frida Rommen.
