Wake Up Sleepy Glutes With These 10 Bodyweight Butt Exercises

This combo move works your whole lower body (during the squat) and then fires up your gluteus medius, which pulls your leg sideways away from your body.

• Start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Bend your knees and lower into a squat, pausing when your thighs are parallel with the floor (or as low as is comfortable).
• Push through your legs to stand and return to the starting position. Then immediately lift your right leg out to the side while squeezing the outer side of your glute.
• Lower your leg. That's one rep.
• Do 30 reps, alternating sides, for three sets total.
