How to Measure Glutes?

Published in Glute Measurement 2 mins read

To measure your glutes, you need a measuring tape and a mirror. Here's a simple guide:


Steps for Measuring Your Glutes:


  1. Prepare: Stand in front of a mirror so you can see your backside.
  2. Locate the fullest point: Visually find the widest part of your glutes. This is usually the point where your buttocks are most prominent.
  3. Use the tape: Place one end of the measuring tape at one side of your hip at the fullest point.
  4. Wrap around: Carefully wrap the tape measure around your glutes, keeping it level. Ensure it’s at the same height on both sides of your body.
  5. Read the measurement: Look at the point where the tape measure meets the starting end. The number indicated at this point is your glute measurement.


Additional Tips:

  • Ensure the tape is snug: The tape measure should be snug but not so tight that it digs into your skin.
  • Keep the tape level: Ensure that the tape measure is horizontal and not angled up or down.
  • Double check: Measure a few times to ensure accuracy.


Why Measure Your Glutes?

  • Tracking fitness goals.
