With good health, being fit is a “bonus”; In the same way, good health can be seen as a “bonus” if you done properly, as long as the two are mutually beneficial in moderation.
So today we’re going to talk about the other benefits of having a peach butt (or improved butt muscle) for women working out. (Same goes for your male friends.)
Reduce pressure on the lumbar spine and hip joint
The gluteal muscles link the upper and lower limbs together with the lumbar and abdominal muscles. From the point of health view, it is recommended to let the muscles to bear more pressure, and reduce the wear and tear of the joints, and the muscles themselves are not only for exercise, but also shoulder the heavy task of protecting the joints during exercise!
If the hip muscles are weak, this can lead to pelvic instability (tilting the pelvis forward or sideways), which can lead to increased pressure on the lumbar spine and increased pressure on the hip joints.
Weak hip muscles can lead to a range of lumbar and pelvic problems (this is also related to daily habits and posture problems, but is also directly related to the condition of the hip muscles).
Especially for women during pregnancy, lumbar curvature will certainly increase greatly, in this case, the abdominal muscles can not effectively do work, at this time the hip muscle strength is more important.
A strong hip is a good way to share the pressure on the lumbar spine and reduce lower back pain during pregnancy.
A lot of girls’ lumbago maybe during pregnancy, may last for a lifetime, so do not prevent the exercise of hip muscles, a better figure at the same time can alleviate the occurrence of lumbar pain.
Of course, hip strength can also reduce the stress and discomfort caused by wearing high heels (which can lead to excessive curvature and increased pressure in the lumbar spine).
The bottom line: Improving hip muscle strength takes the pressure off the lumbar spine and hip joints; Relieve and improve lower back pain, discomfort, also can improve hip discomfort. If there is no problem, you can also prevent other problems.
Improve lower limb stability and reduce knee pressure
You can feel it by actively tightening your hips (pinching your hips, exerting your hips), and standing on one foot will be more stable.
If the lower extremities are more stable, there is less unstable pressure on the knee and ankle joints, thus reducing the probability of ankle sprain and knee sprain.
The hip is also known as “the big brother of lower limb muscles”, and hip extension type (leg extension) movement, gluteus maximus muscle is the main muscle group and priority to send force. If the hip muscles are weak or weak, walking, especially running, requires too much “kick” force to compensate for the leg extension function, increasing the strain on the leg muscles and knee joints.
Actually a lot of knee joint damage is injured, besides its leg force is weaker, the knee joint is unstable, often exist coxal muscle weak situation.
Improve muscular legs
Many of us feel that muscular legs are often caused by a lack of stretching and relaxation, resulting in “lumpy” and “stiff” leg muscles.
Of course, the lack of stretching and relaxation also has something to do with the muscular legs, after all, if the muscles are stiff, they will not look beautiful and smooth visually.
There is another key cause of muscular legs that is often overlooked: “pelvic tilt and hip weakness.” (The forward posture of the pelvis directly results in the failure of the hip to effectively contract for work)
If the hip muscles are not functioning properly, walking and running in everyday life requires the leg muscles (especially the lower legs, which are closer to the ground) to provide more power and compensate for the loss of hip muscle function.
Although like ordinary walking, activities, running, muscle pressure is not very big, but over a long period of time, always let the muscle bit by bit “strong”.
Of course, don’t pout for the sake of your butt in life. If you’ve been deliberately erected, you’ll cause the pelvis to hunch forward, and some of the above problems will occur no matter how strong you are.
