Here are the top 7 reasons why you should do glute strengthening exercises, including weight training.

The glute is the largest and most important group of muscles in your body.
Strong glute muscles provide your spine with the support it needs and the stabilization your pelvis requires in order to have a healthy posture.
Strengthening your gluteus can increase both your mobility and balance.
Strong glutes protect vulnerable areas of the body, such as your hamstrings, knees, and lower back. It is essential that these areas function in a healthy manner in order to perform simple daily activities well. Having a strong glute can also help you avoid tears and sprains in your back muscles. Weak glutes negatively affect lower back alignment, which puts back muscles at greater risk of injury.
Powerful glutes increase power and exercise performance.
A common cause of back pain is that the psoas muscle acts as the body’s core stabilizer rather than the glutes. When the psoas is overactive, compression occurs in the lower back, resulting in one of the more common causes of back pain.
