Many of us experience knee pain as some point, either because of injury, disease (arthritis) or age (any of us over 40 has felt a twinge or two!). And many of you share that you cannot do a squat or lunge without pain. No worries; there are a ton of exercises you can to do strengthen your glutes (bum) without performing one squat or one lunge.

We will do an “oldie-but-goodie” exercise lying on your back (supine), one on your side to focus on your gluteus medius, and one exercise that requires a wall.
