Squats are the best workout for strengthening the glutes, whether you love them or loathe them. Squats come in a number of forms, from the simple body weight squat to the weighted single-leg squat.

  • Hold your shoulders back and down while maintaining a straight back.
  • Your hips should be far back, and you should put weight on your heels. Keep your knees from crossing your toes.
