The NPC and IFBB Professional League Wellness Division took the industry by storm since its inception. It’s a popular and desired look by females, and one of the key body parts is glutes. They need to be big, muscular and shapely to do well. But how? There is no one better to ask than IFBB pro Renee Jewett.

Wellness Division: a Closer Look
Wellness Defined by J.M. Manion, Owner and Chief Photographer of NPC News Online:
“Wellness is a very athletic look. Many of the competitors have a background in sports like soccer, track and field, and volleyball, where you tend to see more leg development. I would describe Wellness as a hybrid of Figure and Bikini because they do both quarter-turns like Figure as well as the Bikini walk to the rear of the stage and back. One misconception early on was that Wellness competitors would have ‘jiggly’ butts, which is not the case. Their glutes are rock-hard. Again, Wellness is a highly athletic look.”
Wellness Rules From NPC News Online
What is the Wellness Division? This division is for females with athletic physiques that showcase more body mass in the hips, glutes and thigh areas. The upper body is developed but not to the same degree as the lower body.
