OUTER THIGHS - GLUTEUS MEDIUS and MINIMUS (ABDUCTORS)
Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus are the hip abductors. They originate from the external surface of the Ilium and attach to the femur.
Gluteus medius and minimus pull your legs outward. Inline skating, skiing and dance work these muscles.
Adductors - Muscles of the inner thigh that pull your legs together. They attach the pelvis and the femur (or thigh bone).
There are actually three sets of gluts, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus, which mean maximum, middle, and minimum respectively. "Glutes" as a nickname almost always refers to just the gluteus maximus.
Gluteus maximus, medius and minimus or "glutes" - The 3 muscles of the buttocks and hips that extend your thighs forward and to the side (abduction) and rotate your legs at the hips. Walking, running and climbing all work the gluteus maximus.
The gluteus medius and minimus are located around the body part of your pelvis, so they are not as apparent. All three glute muscles are involved in rotation and extension of your leg.
Shapes the hip (gluteus medius and minimus), the sides of the buttocks (gluteus maximus), and the external rotators of the hip (small muscles deep inside which help strengthen the hip joint).
