Butt What?

The glutes are funny muscles. While there are women who struggle to get tighter, smaller buns, there are others, like me, who want tighter, bigger buns. Yes, I envy JLo and all those other genetically-gifted girls with some junk in the trunk.

If you’re like me, keep reading.

A study at the Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln. Nebraska has analyzed which cardio machines work your glutes the most.

According to the study, the best cardio for your buns is jogging on the treadmill. This activates 48.9% of the gluteus maximus muscles. In second place is the elliptical machine which activates 32.6% of your gluteus maximus.

Walking on the treadmill on an incline and climbing the stairMaster each activate about 24% of your glutes and riding a recumbent bike only activates 6% so get off your butt and it will thank you later!
