I recently turned to one of my favorite reformer strength-Pilates teachers for a few beginner-friendly exercises you could do to build strong glutes and open tight hips.
If you sit during the day for long periods or find your glutes can be lazy during workouts, these moves are for you. They're rooted in Pilates principles: control, endurance, precision and breath, but you can add weights, such as the best adjustable dumbbells, to overload the muscles toward growth (over time, of course, not just from one workout).
