With so many different glute videos out there on Instagram, it’s very hard to know what exercises are the best for growing your glute muscles.
The truth is, most of the exercises you see on social media are not going to effectively train your glutes.
In this video, I’m going to show you the 7 best exercises for men to build strong, athletic glute muscles.
But before we get into these exercises, let’s first discuss why you should be prioritizing your glute training…
To put it simply, the glutes are involved in every athletic movement you can think of.. from jumping to climbing and even sprinting.
In fact, one study published in the Strength and Conditioning Journal found that the glutes are even more important than the quads when it comes to sprinting. That also explains why you’ll hardly ever see an Olympic sprinter with a flat butt.
Not only that, but according to spine health expert, Dr. Stuart McGill, our modern lifestyle has led us to develop a motor pattern known as “gluteal amnesia”. If you’re not careful, this can and will lead to severe knee and back pain.
Bottom line, if you really care about maximizing your performance in the gym, while living a pain free life, you need to implement these exercises.

Beauty Routines Should Be Based On Simple Things
Beauty has so many possibilities as to what you can use, do, and how you can apply it to your own personal appearance. It is rare to find somebody that will appear just like you, so why not take advantage of that, and create a beauty regimen that works for you and only you? This article can help you.
A great tip when it comes to beauty is to not overdue the makeup. Often times novices have a tendency to put on too much make up and as such make themselves look worse. Use makeup sparingly, and you’ll find you will be turning guys heads everywhere you go.
To give your medium-to long-length hair a quick boost of volume in the morning, turn your head upside down, then apply a spray-on product like mousse or serum to add volume. Aim for the roots, then scrunch your hair at the crown and sides. Turn right-side up, then use your fingers to smooth the top layer.
Wear gloves when you are applying tanning lotions and keep a towel near you. This will help you if you make a mess and to keep your palms from turning orange or tan. You should also make sure to pull your hair back so your tan is evenly applied.
Use a “hot spray” prior to running the hair dryer. This spray, which big-box retailers like Target and Wal-Mart carry, can prevent split ends before the happen and help hair dry faster. It is used to lock in the moisture, and it smells great, too!
If you want to have good skin, naturally, drink a lot of water. Hydration with nature’s basic element, water, has the ability to cleanse your pores and release toxins that have accumulated in your skin. This internal cleansing can lead to healthier and clearer skin.
Make sure your foundation matches. Before buying a new foundation, you should test it on the inside of your wrist. This skin is comparable to the skin on your face and will give you a good example of what this makeup will look like on your face and how it feels.
Use a deep conditioner at least once a week for extra soft and healthy hair. Pick one day of the week to take a bath and read a magazine or listen to music while the deep conditioner soaks into your hair before rinsing. Many hair product lines include a matching deep conditioner.
Take care not to over tweeze your eyebrows. Repeated over-plucking can result in areas where hair refuses to grow back, resulting in bald spots. If you have already developed bare spots in your brows, fill in the areas with a brow pencil temporarily while applying a product to regrow the hair.
Make sure to exercise each and every day. Moving daily will keep you healthy and looking young. It is an important part of your beauty regimen. You need to exercise at least 15-20 minutes every day! Exercise could include anything from cleaning your home, or just a walk around the block; anything to keep you active.
If money allows, purchase an extra of your basic beauty products, such as foundation, cream or lipstick, to keep handy at work. Keep these products in places that you are always present, such as your office. That way you will be able to apply your makeup, even if you forget or run out.
People who have fair skin and hair need a little extra tinting to bring out definition. The best is to use eyebrow tinting, this will bring out the color of your eyebrows as well as add an extra pop to your eyes. Sometimes the subtle little things can make the most difference.
Once you are finished putting on your lipstick, put your finger in your mouth and then pull the skin out to form an “O” shape. This trick helps to remove any lipstick from the inside of your lips that might otherwise make it onto your teeth, but the lipstick on your lips stays intact.
To get a smoother look when applying your eyeshadow, apply primer first. Primer will give the eyeshadow an even surface and will create a smooth effect. It will also make your eyeshadow color look brighter and more vibrant. Be sure to choose a primer specifically designed for use on the eyes.
For a boost of sun protection for your everyday products, look for foundation and moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher. Sun damage causes fine lines, wrinkles, and even skin cancer, so the extra dose of protection from products you use anyway can help keep your facial skin looking younger longer.
Make sure you keep some lotion handy for emergencies. No one ever knows in advance when their look is going to need a fast touch up. You can use lotion to remedy dry skin and even smooth frizzy hair. Squeeze a pea-size amount onto the palm of your hand and run it through your hair.
Keep some fabric softener sheets on hand for beauty emergencies. Fabric sheets can be used to tame a static skirt that wants to stick you your hose. It can do the same for wild hair. Another thing it is good for is running through your hair to quell obnoxious odors like smoke.
To reduce face puffiness in the morning, use your tongue to hold an ice cube at the roof of your mouth for a minute. The cold from the ice cube helps to reduce puffiness from the inside out. This will achieve the same result that splashing your face with ice water does.
The mouth is the ultimate attention getter. If you wear lipstick, know that the color you wear can work for or against you. Choose a color that compliments your skin and that is “in” for the season and you will look amazing. If you want to help your lipstick last longer, apply powder over the first coat and then reapply. If you don’t wear lipstick, make sure your lips are well hydrated and you regularly use chapstick. Chapped cracked lips will detract from your appearance.
Isn’t creating your own personal beauty regimen a lot of fun? As you have seen in this article, there are a lot of ways this can be done and no two techniques or products will yield the same results. There are also lots of customizable options that can work with your skill set and budget.
