Let's keep learning about the muscles in the human body!
Last time we learned about the rectus abdominis
Next up is the gluteal muscles.
The muscles on your back side (or your butt) are called your gluteal muscles.
There are three muscles there, the gluteus minimus, gluteus medius and gluteus maximus.
Sometimes people call those muscles glutes or just talk about the gluteus maximus
since it's the biggest of the three muscles.
You use those muscles when you lift your leg up and down,
or bend your body backwards.
