Moon, Earth and your Glutes

Could there be a connection between the Earth, the Moon and your glutes?

It’s not mooning either… 🙂

Read on.

Earth’s surface gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

Earth’s Moon has a surface gravity of 1.62 m/s^2.

The Moon’s surface gravity is about ⅙ (16%.6%) of Earth.

There is one prominent example of muscles in the same group on the human body that share this specific size ratio.

The glutes.

In the human body, the gluteus minimus is roughly ⅙ the size of the gluteus maximus.

The gluteus maximus is the largest and heaviest muscle in the human body.

The gluteus minimus is the smallest and deepest of the trio.

Even though the smallest, the gluteus minimus has a huge impact on the human body, especially with aging.

Studies show muscle degeneration in this muscle is an independent predictive risk factor for severe falls when experiencing pelvic and hip fractures.

Read that part again, but slower.

What if we could test and train the gluteus minimus earlier in life?

Could that prevent muscle atrophy, assist in pelvic stability and keep balance more steady?

We think so.

That is why this muscle is part of our 6 Green Zone Exam.

Longevity. Healthspan. Prevention.
