Glute Exercises

[SadieKate]

Plank from your knees with your feet in the air (and on your elbows but hands apart so you don't have the stabilizing effect of clasped hands). Put a dumbbell behind one knee and lift up.

I do a moderated bird dog that I can really feel in my glutes when I focus on doing this properly.

Place one knee on the edge of a pad or pillow, something a couple of inches tall. You are on your hands, take the leg that isn't on the pad/pillow and keeping your knee bent draw your foot up to the ceiling. Focus on tight core and the glute. Repeat on the other side, I do this for a minute on each side and typically hold the position once my leg is up for a couple of seconds - generally about 15-20x on each side (2 rounds).

I've gluteal amnesia on one side and this, among other exercises, appears to be helping. At least I can finally feel my glutes fire Can't find a video of this move though.

Glutes are attached to the rest of you, so I would recommend finding a good Pilates instructor and working on your glutes and everything else, too. There's something to the "Pilates butt" other than aesthetics. There are several very good Pilates studios near you.
