Glute Bridge: Start by laying flat on the floor, feet down, knees bent and squeeze your knees together. Press your hips as high up into the air as you can, then lower down. That's 1 rep. Repeat for 16 and do 3 sets.
You can also add a pulse at the top, continuing to squeeze your glutes up and knees together.
For an additional challenge, with your hips still up and your glutes squeezed, open and close your knees.
Bonus Move: Glute Press: Start on your hands and knees, back flat and head in line with your spine. Lift one knee up, pressing the heel back and up to the ceiling, repeat for 8 reps, then do the other leg for 8 reps. You can also pulse after your 8th rep for 16 counts to further work the glutes. Just make sure to do the same thing on both sides--you don't want to be lopsided!
For a challenge, you can add a resistance band around your feet and do the same move--it will definitely be harder!
