Glutes, located on the back part of the hips, consist of tree muscles: gluteus minimus, gluteus medius and gluteus maximus. Gluteus maximus is the largest of the three and is located on the top of the other two. The gluteus maximus creates the look and form of the buttocks. The glutes assist in many movements, such as walking, running, jumping, climbing, standing up and standing erect. Because the glutes are involved in most daily activities, it is important to keep them strong and functional.
