5 Reasons to Get a Better Butt Print E-mail
Written by Diet Detective Editorial Staff   
Don’t focus on this area solely for the sake of appearances. No one would argue that a shapely posterior is an asset to any body, but did you know that firm, strong glutes are good for much more than creating a butt that's pleasing to the eye? Strengthening this muscle group will improve your speed and increase your endurance and range of motion when you're running, walking or playing any of a wide variety of sports. Plus, keeping this area toned has the often-overlooked benefit of helping you stand up straight the rest of the time. Even if you can't get to a gym to do a full glute workout, you can improve your rear view whenever you're standing in line or sitting at your desk by clenching your butt cheeks together and holding the contraction for a count of five, then slowly releasing it; do 10 repetitions.
