Alternatives to squats
Hi, following my doctors advise, I have been told I should refrain from doing any weight bearing squats at the gym (woman's problems - I won't go into it). I am wanting to really target my glutes so aside from static & walking lunges what are some good alternatives to this exercise? Cheers
