While their presence depends mainly on genetics, their visibility is often enhanced by a healthy lifestyle. Indeed, these hollows are more apparent in people who have:
A relatively low body fat
Toned muscles, particularly in the back and trunk
Good posture and balanced joint mobility
A popular (but not scientifically confirmed) theory : some suggest that these dimples are associated with better blood circulation in the pelvis, which can improve vitality and even sensations during sexual activity.
Can they be made to appear with exercise?
This is a question many fitness enthusiasts ask themselves. Unfortunately, no: if you don’t have this ligament configuration from birth, no amount of training can create it.
On the other hand, if you have them genetically, regular physical activity, a healthy lifestyle and losing fat mass can make them more visible .
A phenomenon reinforced by social networks
In recent years, Venus dimples and Apollo holes have gone viral, often highlighted as a “fitness goal” on Instagram or TikTok. Many celebrities and models proudly flaunt them, contributing to their glamorous and valued image .
But be careful not to make it a standard or an additional pressure: not everyone has this trait, and it says nothing about your value or your overall physical condition.
