]]> The squat is one of the most important exercises in your workout, it works on your entire body, strengthens your legs and glutes, and can also increase your heart rate. There are so many ways you can squat: back, goblet, front, sumo, jumping, cossack, and Bulgarian split squat. These three squats will work your thighs and glutes the most.

Bulgarian Split Squat

This might remind you of a lunge, but it is actually a squat and is used to show you which leg is weaker. For this squat, you will need a bench and any sort of weight. You can use a dumbbell, kettlebell, or barbell. You will stand in front of the bench, put one foot up on the bench behind you and use the leg standing on the floor to drive the movement. The foot on the bench should not be taking the weight or pushing the motion. You will feel the burn in your thighs and glutes with this exercise.

The Sumo Squat

The sumo squat works on the side of the glutes and the inner thighs. You will want to stand on an elevated platform, either two steps or benchesβ€”in a wide stance and take a dumbbell in both hands and go as low as you canβ€”without compensating your knees, holding the dumbbell between your legs. Since the range of motion is a little shorter, you can actually hold a higher weight than you would do with the goblet squat.

Back Barbell Squat

The back squat is the most popular of squats for strengthening the legs, core, and glutes. It can take time to reach a good depth and weight, but with a lot of mobility exercises and persistence you will reap the results with this exercise.

Try incorporating the Romanian deadlifts and hip thrusts to give you the shape you desire. Target the glutes from all angles with these exercises.

Single-Leg Glute Bridge

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Extend one leg up to the ceiling and on your exhale squeeze your glutes and push your hips up as high as they can go. Pause for 2 seconds then lower to the floor and repeat 10 times per side. You can add weight for more impact.

Single-Leg Dead Lift

Stand on one foot and with your other leg bent in front of you, knee at hip height. Engage your glutes as you bend forward, hands reaching towards the ground and extend the bent leg straight behind you. Return to starting positing and repeat 12 times on each leg.

Sumo Squat

Stand each foot on step wider than shoulder-width apart, toes are slightly angled out. Take a kettlebell or dumbbell with both hands and squat down, hips back and knees in line with your toes and then come up and squeeze your glutes. Repeat 12 times.
