Etymology

The term 'glutes' is derived from the word 'gluteal,' which originates from the Latin word 'glutaeus,' meaning 'buttock.' The gluteal muscles were first described in the mid-19th century, and their significance in both human movement and athletic performance has been recognized ever since. Over time, the informal abbreviation 'glutes' gained popularity in fitness and health contexts, especially within strength training and bodybuilding communities. The growing awareness of the importance of glute muscles in maintaining mobility, balance, and overall health has led to the increased popularity of various workouts targeting these muscles.
