Gluteal muscles

There are three muscles which create the ‘glutes’; the gluteus minimus, medius and maximus. They serve in the movement of the hips, legs and pelvis. Effective exercises to tone and strengthen these muscles include the raised bridge (lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. With arms by your sides, clench the buttocks and lift the pelvis off the floor, hold, and release) or squats and lunges.
