A common mistake women make is using incorrect body positioning.

For instance, take a SQUAT: many people lean too far forward, placing their weight in their toes, which not only puts pressure on the knees, but also take the emphasis off the glutes and places it on the quads.

To understand how to better activate the glutes, we recommend doing WALL SLIDES/SQUATS: squat with your back against a wall and slowly slide up and down by straightening and bending your legs; imagine that you’re balancing a book on your head to keep your torso tall.

Once you do this, you will understand what it feels like to work the glutes correctly.

This will help boost the effectiveness of any butt exercise by helping you focus on form, which can enable you to complete a correct squat without assistance.
