The gluteus maximus muscle (buttocks) to be more exact. Good thing we have a ton of great glute-shaping workouts to put it to excellent use. Though this isn’t the strongest muscle.

#2.  Do you know in which way the fat leaves your body?

Breath! Surprised. You have heard that ‘sweat is your fat crying’ but fat is released as carbon dioxide when we exhale. Remember before you start hyperventilating to try to slim down faster, it’s important to note that you can’t just shed fat by breathing it out — you still have to create the caloric deficit that leads to fat loss in order to exhale it away.
