About the exercise

Another great exercise that targets gluteus medius muscle and helps butt get bigger. The secret to a more effective gluteus medius engagement is to abduct the hip slightly backward. Abducting the hip to the front will engage another muscle at the front of the hip called tensor fasciae latae and thus will not get your butt bigger. This and many other exercises are part of our free workout routine.

Exercise instructions

  1. 10 repetitions each side, 15-20 seconds rest.

  2. Rotate your pelvis 5 degrees forward toward the floor.

  3. Abduct at hip up toward the ceiling and 10 degrees backward to target gluteus medius.
