How to have healthy butts

May 31, 2008

The butt consists of three main muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. They work together to help us move our upper legs in all directions. “Every time you take a step, you’re using your glute muscles,” says Roget, a renowned fitness trainer. “That’s why we have glutes. Their function is to allow us to run, walk, squat and move. You’re working your rear end all the time.”

This is the news every woman would like to hear — it is okay to have big bums. In fact, it is healthy! A new study by US researchers reveals that a type of fats found commonly found around the hips and bums, known as subcutaneous fats, or fats that collect under the skin, helps improving the sensitivity of the hormone insulin. Insulin is responsible for regulating blood glucose and hence might actually offer some protection against diabetes!

As one might expect, walking is very good for the glutes. For maximum impact, tackle some hills if you are walking out or just go for the incline if you are on a treadmill. Just making it sure for keeping the back from hinging forward is a great way for how to have healthy butts. Stair machines, arc trainers and elliptical trainers are also great buttock shaping options as stated by fitness guru. For variety, one can try in-line skating or cycling (inside or out). After working up a sweat aerobically, try the six butt-busting strength exercises as recommended by the fitness gurus.
