Why Strong Glutes Matter for Women Over 50

✔ Supports Lower Back Health – Weak glutes can cause strain on your lower back, leading to discomfort and pain. ✔ Improves Posture & Balance – Strong glutes help maintain proper alignment and reduce the risk of falls. ✔ Enhances Joint Stability – Glutes prevent injuries and support your hips and knees. ✔ Boosts Metabolism & Fat Burn – Engaging large muscle groups like the glutes can increase calorie burn and aid in weight management.
