Whether you’re after a shapely backside or a super-strong lower body (or both), one of my favorite exercises to target the glutes is the single-leg glute bridge. I give this exercise to nearly all of my personal training clients and do it regularly myself.
One of the reasons I love this exercise is because of its adaptability. Beginners who master the standard glute bridge can progress to the single-leg glute bridge quickly and easily, and advanced athletes can challenge themselves by adding dumbbells or resistance bands to the movement.
