Glute Max is a powerhouse!
It generates the force to walk, run, jump, squat and so much more.
It's a posture muscle that enables sitting and standing
It's a load distributor dispersing load and movement from the upper body, through the pelvis to the lower body.
Glute Medius is a primary stabilizer!
It holds the energy of the body in the midline
Think of it as your river banks
It externally and internally rotates the hips
Glute Minimus is a movement facilitator!
It helps extend the hips (think the back leg/hip in High Lunge)
It helps rotate the legs and hips inward (think of dropping both knees to one side: 1 hip/leg is internally rotated, 1 hip/leg is externally rotated)
As a bonus, since the knees are like gates for the lower extremity, to improve their function and reduce pain? Work the glute max + glute medius.
