This 8-move resistance band workout sculpts and builds a stronger bum
Strong glutes are important for a number of reasons: they give you the power and force for explosive workouts, help with posture and stability, and also protect other, smaller muscles from overcompensating during exercise.
'Sleepy' glutes – a butt that sits back and lets other muscles do the work – can cause your lower back, hips, knees and even your ankles to take on extra strain.
If it sounds like you need to build strength in your glutes, then here's PT Gina Obeng with a resistance band bum-burner workout to set your lower body on fire.
