Bikini season may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stop paying attention to your body. Maintaining a toned backside will help you look great in any attire, whether it’s a swimsuit or great new jeans for fall. Plus strong glutes help to improve posture and prevent knee and back pain. While many daily activities and high-intensity workouts engage the quadriceps, the posterior chain — your gluteal muscles and hamstrings —is often neglected, leading to tightness in the ligaments that surround and stabilize the knee.

Start toning that tush!
