    Get on your hands and knees, flex the glutes as you push back towards your heels, and tighten your core as you do it. Start off slow, then work up a rhythm. If it helps, you could have a partner straddle behind you with their hands on your waist to make sure that you're tightening everything correctly.

    Alternatively, you can also add extra resistance if you went into a downward dog position. Gets the hamstrings a bit too.

    are we still talking exercise here?! I got off topic when I started reading this.....

    Of course we are. Partnered resistance exercises are a great way to work specific muscle groups. Like getting into a low squat. Have your partner positioned either behind or in front, whichever is more comfortable, and have them keep you balanced as you slowly move from a raised squat into a lowered one. Just make sure the knees don't track out over the toes. You never wanna hyper-flex or hyper-extend joints.

    Anytime. Though, I don't know if MFP has tantric exercises logged as a workout, but you could create them as strength training or wear your HRM to count them as cardio if you burn up a good sweat from the movements. :happy:

    You need to learn proper squat technique if you cannot feel it in your glutes.

    My guess is that you are not sitting back far enough to engage your glutes and hamstrings so your quads are doing all the work. Also you need to increase the weight. No weight that you can lift for 25 reps is going to build any muscle.

    Dumbbell lunges get me every time.

    Do a relatively light weight warm up, then pick up dumbbells heavy enough that you can only do somewhere around 8 reps at a time. If you can only do ~5 then decrease the weight, if you can do 12 or more, increase it.

    ^^ I do these after running and I definitely feel it the next day. Running on an incline is great for your butt too!

    The dirty dog has helped me too .. google it. It may be a little confusing without someone explaining it to you but it's really simple and uses your core, hips and glutes.
