I have been working out in a athletic club and have been using the glutes abductor equipment. Will this equipment do the job? Not that my glutes are flat, just want to enhance them.
Absolutely yes. However, doing an abductor exercise will not have a major affect on the shape of your glutes (gluteus maximus … your butt). The action of abduction of the hip means you are spreading your legs. The glutes action in abduction is the result of movement of the gluteus medius muscle which is not the main muscle that give your hips their shape. That shape is due to the gluteus maximus.
The main function of the glut max (the muscle that gives shape to your butt) is what is called extension of the hip which is the motion of your leg while running and pushing backwards.
THE BEST exercises, therefore, mimic that motion and the best weight lifting exercises for your butt, hands down the best, are squats and lunges. Both of those exercises are also considered exceptional exercises for core strength so, you should add them to your routine.
