   6. Step-Ups

7. Single leg deadlift

 


Single-leg deadlifts are a great exercise for strengthening your glutes, core, and hamstrings. They are a unilateral exercise, meaning you are working one side of your body at a time. To do a single-leg deadlift, stand on one foot with a slight bend in your knee. 

Keeping your back flat, hinge forward at the hips and reach your opposite leg behind you. Keep your chest up and your arms out in front of you as you lower your torso until its parallel to the floor. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to stand back up to the starting position. Repeat on the opposite leg.

 

8. Side-lying leg lifts    


Side-lying leg lifts are a great exercise for strengthening your core, lower body and especiallly your glutes. To perform a side-lying leg lift, start by lying on your side with your head facing up. Bend your knees and place your bottom leg in front of your body and your top leg behind your body. 

Make sure your feet are together and your back is straight. Next, lift your top leg up towards the ceiling and hold it there for a few seconds. Slowly lower it back down and repeat. You can increase the intensity of this exercise by adding a resistance band or ankle weights. Be sure to keep your core engaged throughout the movement
