Does anyone else only feel squats in their quadriceps? I would appreciate any tips to help target the glutes as well. Good luck everyone!!!!
My trainer once told me you want it to feel as though you are attempting to rip a piece of paper with the balls of your feet. You want to be pushing out with your legs, you will absolutely feel it.0 -

Agreed. You want to shift your weight to your heels as if there is a chair that will catch you. To target specific parts of your glutes you can do variations such as sumo squats, feet together, etc. This may sound weird but it helps to feel your butt as you squat to see if your glutes are being activated. I usually squeeze my butt at the top of the squat as well.0 -
Also, if you go to YouTube you can find some videos on the proper squat form or how to make sure you're activating your glutes.0
