The glutes are the body’s biggest and most powerful muscle group in the body, and when you keep them strong you will be rewarded with better posture, balance and pelvic stability. Glute strength can also reduce back and knee pain, and improve sports performance.

And the good news is you don’t need to do thousands of squats to build muscle in the glutes—good to know if you suffer from knee pain which is triggered by squatting.
