I am looking for suggestions for exercises that work the butt muscles that are not squats. I have severe arthritis in my knees, and squats are very painful. The only lower body exercises I am doing in my current weight lifting routine are leg presses and deadlifts.

    Hip thrusts. Heel-elevated hip thrusts. Glute bridges. (All very similar.)

    If you have access to a gym (sounds like you do), cable kickbacks on the cable machine.

    Leg lifts, bridges, flutter kicks. If you Google glute exercises a bunch will come up.

    I did this pilates video yesterday which included butt exercises (all done on the floor)... I am having pain in my butt which means it worked. :mrgreen:

    Get on all fours lift your leg up at 90 and slowly keep lifting your leg up in the air you should really feel it in your butt, on all fours lift leg out to the side slowly. If this is still too hardon your knees you can stand against a wall point your foot behind you and slowly kick bAckwards. Works greAt for my butt
