Start with stepping on the platform with one foot, raise the body up and then bring your other leg’s knee up as high as you can before you step back down. In order to achieve best results, you can hold small weights in both hands.

Rear Leg Lifts

You need to kneel on your forearms and knees and then lift one leg off the floor while you are pushing the foot toward the ceiling. After that bring the leg down gradually and then change the leg. For optimal results use ankle weights.

Bridges

First lie on your back with the feet on the ground and knees pointed upwards. After that you need to raise the buttock off the floor until only the feet, shoulders and head touch the floor. Try to push the hips high as much as you can and in same time squeeze the glutes hard. While you do this exercise you can put some weight on the abdominal area.

Deep squats

Fitness experts advise to go as low as you can while you maintain the back straightened, when you are doing squats. In this way you actually ensure maximum activation of the glutes. Keep in mind that the stance should be wider than shoulder width and also don’t forget to keep the spine as straight as possible while you lower yourself down. Also, you can hold a weight in front of the chest or you can do one legged squats when this exercise becomes too easy for you. It is interesting that in this way you can improve your flexibility and core strength.

Cossack lunges

Start with the legs apart (bit wider than shoulder – width) and after that shift the weight to one side as you squat down on that leg. Don’t forget to maintain the other leg straight. Now, while you are in bottom position, point the toes of the straight leg upwards. You need to repeat the same on the other side and after that continue with the alternation.

Fire hydrants

For this exercise you should begin in kneeling position and after that you raise one leg to the side. Remember to keep a 90 degree bend. If you want to, you can rotate from the hip by making small circles and then wide swooping circles. With this exercise you will improve the mobility and strengthen all muscles in the buttock area.

Hip thrusts

In order to perform this exercise you need to seat on the ground with a bench behind you and a weighted barbell over the pelvis. You will significantly reduce the amount of discomfort caused by the exercise by using pad between the body and the bar. Now, roll the bar so that it is above your hips and lean back against the bench so that the shoulder blades are near the top of it. After that you need to extend the hips vertically while your weight is supported by the shoulder blades and the feet. Finally extend as much as you can and go back to starting position again.

Horse stance

Remember that thighs should be parallel to the ground and focus – you should not give up. You need to maintain this position as long as you can. You can begin with 15 – 30 seconds and gradually increase the duration with time.

Pile squats

Make a wide stance thus you will point the toes outwards. Next, bend your knees slowly in the directions of your toes. You can stand up once you no longer see your toes.

Gluteal squeezes

Flutter kicks
