off-center, then drop and lift the hips.
Do all the repetitions on one side, then switch.
4. Step-ups.
Using a weights bench (a step would work, too), step one foot on top, then push through the top leg and glute to lift the bottom leg up and tap the bench.
Lower and repeat using the same leg. Add hand weights or a knee lift with the tapping leg for a greater challenge.
5. Leg/hip extensions.
Reaching a leg behind your body is a great way to work the glutes.
In Pilates, it’s done while lying on your side, but you can also do it while lying over a stability ball or standing. Using a slow, controlled motion, extend the leg behind the body while squeezing the glutes and keeping the torso stable.
Do three sets of 15 repetitions, then switch legs.
6. Single-Leg Glute Bridge.
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor near your butt and hip-width apart. Keeping your knees in line, extend one leg. On your exhale, squeeze your glutes and push your hips up toward the ceiling as high as you can go. Pause, then lower until your butt hovers right above the floor, and repeat without touching the ground.
For a challenge: While standing, extend one leg back and hinge from the hip. At the same time, lower the torso to parallel with the floor. Keep the abs tight and return to standing, lowering the back leg.
