Gluteus Minimus
Comments
The gluteus minimus is the smallest of the three gluteal muscles, located underneath the gluteus maximus.
Gluteus medius is recruited during hip abduction and lateral abduction. Exercises that require this movement will stimulate the gluteus medius effectively, and these can be viewed in the exercise section to the right.
