Lateral Steps

This exercise really lights up your glutes muscles and also introduces some lateral training into your workouts. To begin the exercise wrap a resistance band around your lower thighs making sure its pinned above your knee joints. Cross it over behind your legs and grip with your opposite hands. Alternatively you can use a mini-looped resistance band. Adopt a slightly crouched position then take a wide lateral step with your left leg, plant the foot and then bring your right leg across. Immediately repeat the exercise in the other direction. Continue going back and forth until your glutes are on fire.
