Glutes, also known as your buttocks, originates from the pelvis and inserts into the femur. With the glutes, it allows you to control flexion of the trunk and internal/external rotation of the hip joint.

There are 3 muscles that compromises the glutes:

1. Gluteus Maximus

2. Gluteus Medius

3. Gluteus Minimus

The quadriceps is one of the LARGEST group of muscles in the human body. It helps you to do daily things in your life such as to help you stand, walk, run and move around.

It consists of:

1. Rectus Femoris

2. Vastus Medialis

3. Vastus Lateralis

4. Vastus Intermedius

The hamstring are located at the posterior side of your body. They begin under the gluteus maximus behind the hipbone and attach to the tibia at the knee.

It consists of:

1. Bicep Femoris

2. Semitendinosus

3. Semimembranosus

These muscles allows you to extend your leg straight behind your body and to bend your knee when you are performing an action.

The gastrocnemius, known as the calves, are located on the lower posterior of the body. It attaches from the femur, with two heads(known as the lateral & medial head) to the achilles tendon at the bottom. It provides a significant amount of force while you are running, walking or jumping.

It consists of 2 heads:

1. Gastrocnemius (Lateral Head)

2. Gastrocnemius (Medial Head)

Within the gastrocnemius is the soleus. This muscle plays an important role in maintaining your standing posture and allows for ankle plantar flexion.

The Tibialis Anterior, located in the anterior of your shin. It attaches from the outside of your tibia and inserts into the first metatarsal bones of the foot. This muscle helps you to perform a dorsiflexion and inversion of your ankle.

The hip abductors are located on the inside of the hip joint. Hip abduction is the movement of the leg away from the midline of the body. The hip abductors are muscles that contribute to our ability to stand, walk, and rotate our legs with ease.

It consists of:

1. Glueteus Medius

2. Gluteus Minimus

3. Tensor Fascia

4. Piriformis

5. Sartorius

6. Superior Fibres
