When people do exercises that focus on the glutes, they will tell anyone within earshot that strong glute muscles help improve posture, alignment, balance, and overall stability (thereby helping to prevent injury), and that they aid sporting performance. “Did you know the gluteus maximus is the biggest muscle in the body?” they will inevitably ask.
All of the above is true, but what they are also thinking as they work on their glutes is: “Man, my butt’s going to look great; I’m looking forward to walking away from people.” If this is the outcome you’re looking for (it is, at least in part), the glute bridge march is an ideal exercise. Of course, the glute bridge in all its variations also targets the hamstrings, but whatever…
