The glutes are a significantly large but funny muscle group – while they are incredibly powerful, they also can be extremely lazy. Many people have inactive glutes, where their muscles simply have forgotten how to function correctly. Guess what this leads to? A flat butt, and posture problems. So put these big muscles to work in a responsible manner, don’t overwork them, but still know that you can maximize their potential.
Your glutes make up your body’s most powerful muscle group, which includes the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. Although these sound like the names of three powerful Greek Gods that are also brothers, they are the names of your butt muscles. These muscles are responsible for all of your movement: standing still, walking, climbing stairs – everything.The stronger your butt gets, the faster you can run and do things you used to do as a little girl, so get squatting ladies.
“If a muscle isn’t contracted, the muscle nerve neurons become dormant,” says personal trainer David Bergwerf.
Another critical role of glutes for runners especially, is it provides stability for the pelvis and knees. Stronger glutes help to maintain a neutral base and reduce wasted side-to-side motion. This stability helps you to direct your energy forward, resulting in faster running at the same effort level. Also, when the glutes aren’t working properly, the impacted vessels are transmitted typically down the legs. Weak or tight butt muscles have been linked to common injuries such as runner’s knee, iliotibial band syndrome, and Achilles tendinitis.
“The lower back becomes dominant, and the glutes are neglected. This results in bad posture and bad form when you exercise.”
If you’re trying to improve the appearance and performance of your glutes, getting stronger is important. However, that DOESN’T mean that you should be loading up the weights so much that your knees cave in during squats or your back goes out during a lift. These unnecessary actions cause injury – NOT help your glutes.
If you are working from home don’t sit all day. Purchase a standing matt and a computer stand and split your time between sitting and standing.
Incorporate walking in place to encourage healthy circulation. Commit to 25 squats every 30 minutes with or without weights. Even if you work 4 hours that way, you will encourage your glutes not to become flat or droopy. Afterall it is the simple, realistic solutions for those of us glued to the computer all day. The increased heart rate from doing squats and walking in place will also get you a big thank you from your heart and your “Fitbit App”
Dr. Slater offers a bit of nonsurgical help with Sculptra Butt Injections. If you have not read the latest hype on medically safe nonsurgical injections that can help your body produce collagen you should read the following article about Sculptra Aesthetics, its uses and what it actually does to help you get a rounder shapely butt without looking like you had a butt implant.
If you do decide to check into the Brazilian Butt Lift, be aware that squatting builds muscle but burns fat. That means that if you commit to fat transfer to the glutes (essentially a two-part procedure that incorporates removing fat from one area and moving it to another), that you should refrain from over-exercising or sit a lot to make sure the fat remains in the area it was transferred to.
If you smoke and decide to have Fat Transfer to the glutes, you might not have the best results because the oxygen flow and blood vessels are compromised. This can mean that the Fat transferred to the buttocks may not survive. Smoking causes vasoconstriction which is the cause of compromised oxygen flow and healthy circulation, and this prevents the healing process. Of course, some foods and drinks can cause vasoconstriction as well. Alcohol and stress is another big cause of vasoconstriction.
For surgery purposes though, smoking is a big deal. Dr. Slater requires his patients to stop smoking 4-6 weeks before the Brazilian Butt Lift and requests that his patients remain smoke-free for at least six weeks after to achieve optimal results.

Another thing to note is that if you take fat burners and diet pills you will not maintain best results if you continue to take them after you have the Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure.
