where are the glutes

The glutes are the large muscles that make up the buttocks, located on the back of the hips and upper thighs.

Where the glutes are

• The gluteal region (buttocks) sits just below the lower back and behind the pelvis, on the back (posterior) side of the hips.

• It extends from the top of the pelvic bones (iliac crest) down to the gluteal fold, where your butt meets the back of your upper thigh.

What “the glutes” include

• “Glutes” usually refers to three main muscles: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus in the buttock region.

• These muscles lie over the back of the pelvic bones and the top part of the thigh bone (femur), giving the buttocks their shape and helping move and stabilize the hip.
