8 Bodyweight Glute Exercises

#1 Side-Lying Hip Raise

The side-lying hip raise will target your gluteus medius

#2 Reverse Hyperextensions

You can do this bodyweight exercise either on a bench or even on the side of your couch.

#3 Bulgarian Split Squat

It’s one of my all-time faves to target the glutes!

#4 Glute Bridge

Add a loop band around your knee for extra resistance and muscle activation.

#5 Elevated Glute Bridge

Very much like your regular glute bridge but position your feet on a stable elevated surface.

#6 Single Leg Elevated Glute Bridge

Another variation of the glute bridge – the hardest modification of the bodyweight glute bridge.

#7 Bodyweight Hip Thrusts

This is probably the number one exercise to develop and strengthen your glutes.

#8 Frog Pumps

Squeeze your glutes at the top.
