My physio has recommended that I strengthen my glutes for running - what is everybody's favourite glute exercise?

Here are some things I do that involve glutes and sometimes hamstrings too:
One-leg hip bridges using a stability ball
Skaters
One-leg deadlifts (no weight)
Pistol squats
Lunges with back leg up on a bench
Leg press machine with a high foot position0 -
squatting with a barbell on my shoulders - a heavy barbell - amazing outcomes!0
-
to add to that
heavy squats
dead lifts
ghetto hammy/glute raises
walking lunges (forward/backward)
bridge lifts of any type.0 -
Squats and leg raises. The key to a good squat is what you stand up to squeeze EVERYTHING you have. My inner thighs ang butt are so SORE the next day!0

Favourite is cycling, the one that hurts my glutes the most is rowing.
(When I was young and foolish I did a 2 hour row for the Comic Relief charity and the pain started at 50 minutes and got steadily more intense!!)0 -
thanks guys! That's a real help....I'm off to the gym0

For low impact I think clams are great;
-Lie on your side with your legs up, knees together.
-Engage your glutes and keeping your feet together lift top knee off bottom knee steadily
-Repeat 15 - 20 times, then swap and try on the other side.
Youtube should have some vids if you don't understand my explanation :-)0 -
