Exercises to increase the buttocks are performed for the development of the gluteal muscles. Each person has six of them - three on the right and left, and they refer to the external muscles of the pelvis. In addition, there are internal muscles of the pelvis (iliac, pear-shaped, internal locking, etc.). All of them perform common tasks: unbend the hip, straighten the trunk when it is tilted forward, stretch the fascia of the thigh, and in the standing position fix the pelvis and the entire trunk.
Gluteus muscles (in Latin gluteus) have one more function, because they form a sciatic region, that is, soft tissues of the posterior and lateral surfaces of the pelvis. In addition to the muscles in the "soft spot" there is a subcutaneous tissue and located between the layers of the superficial fascia (muscle shell) fat pad - for maximum comfort in a sitting position ... Do you want to increase your sciatic region? Then read on: the best exercises to increase the buttocks - here and now.
A set of exercises to increase the buttocks

Let's start with attacks, which are considered by experts in the field of fitness and bodybuilding as the most effective exercises to increase the buttocks.
Exercise 1

The back should be straight. Then, with the effort of just the right leg, raise and lower the body. Repeat the exercise 15 times per foot.

Makhi foot in the side is performed in a standing position against the wall, for which you need to lean on it with your hand. With your right foot you make the mahi aside - as high as possible. In this case, the foot of the lifted leg should be parallel to the floor. We perform the exercise 15-20 times with each foot.

We take emphasis on the elbows and forearms, we stay behind on the right knee, and the knee of the left leg is torn off the floor and brings it closer to the chest. On inhalation, the left leg is pulled back and completely straightened, and then we return the original position. Then we change our legs. Repeat the exercise 10-15 times with each foot.

And yet, the most accessible form of physical activity is walking. It involves the most voluminous muscle of a man - a large gluteus muscle. In the process of walking it provides vertical support of the legs and flexes and unbends the hip joint. This muscle is especially active during running or fast walking. So move more on foot at a good pace or start your day with a jog, and then all the exercises to increase the buttocks will be even more effective.
