Ultracat Sep 2015 1:29pm, 22 Sep 2015 11286 posts	0 Ultracat plenty of exercises to strengthened glutes. I use a resistance band just below the knees and do glute bridges and keep the resistance on the bands, you can get vary strengths of resistance bands.

Ultracat Sep 2015 3:02pm, 22 Sep 2015 11287 posts	0 Ultracat Two different ways of using resistance bands whilst doing glute bridges then. Do the glute bridges without bands to start. I also use a lowish seat to sit down and then stand upright whilst engaging the glute muscles, to make it more challenging add weights or lower seat, if hips very tight then use a book or something similar to raise your heels. Make sure you mobilise and stretch hip flexors before doing squats.
