Are you squeezing your butt while you lean fwd during standing abs? Your glutes are your powerhouse! We train the chain all the time at SLB for so many reasons beyond aesthetics:
Athletic Performance: Ideal hip extension means improved propulsion for CCS, etc.
Muscle Balance & Pain Reduction: A strong booty supports the core, lower back and spine and changes the way your body reacts to gravitational force by taking pressure off the joints.
Great Posture: Sitting all day with poor posture can cause tight hip flexors, dormant glutes and a weak core.
Accelerates Fat Loss: Your glutes are the strongest and largest group of muscles in the body (they’re our “fat burners”). Because muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does, increasing lean muscle mass via glute training can accelerate fat loss and keep it off.
