What Does A Dent In The Gluteal Muscle Indicate?

Hello,
I am within my bmi and suddenly this strange dent appeared on the outside of my glut muscle. It feels as though the muscle has been scooped out and feels uncomfortable, strange, and has a dull pain. Is this something that will go away? Where did it come from? What can I do to fix it? Thank you for your time.

Hi..

Your Dent in the glute muscle is a normal thing that appears if you lose fat in that area.. So don't worry in that too much..
If I were you I would do the following exercises to improve the glute strength..however the scooped or dented portion of your gluteus can only be covered or concealed by fat..
(1) Pelvic bridging
(2) Clamshell
(3) Side leg lifts..
(4) Prone leg lifts
(5) leg kick backs
(6) single leg bridge hold for 30 secs -- performed 3 times
Exercises from 1-5 to be performed 15 reps X 3sets each with 1 min recovery between reps...

I suggest you to eat right and participate in any kind of sporting activities...

Hope this is helpful for you...
Please revert back incase you need further clarification...
