Stiff-Leg Deadlift
Deadlift
"The deadlift is a great move for targeting your entire posterior chain (your backside), especially the hamstrings and glutes," Silver-Fagan explains. You will work on establishing a proper hinge pattern, which is helpful for a wide range of exercises, like squats and bent-over rows. You should feel this one in your glutes and hamstrings as you do it.
Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell, dumbbell, or barbell. Keep your shoulders back and back straight as you push your butt back, hinging at your hips to bend your torso forward, keeping the weight close to your body. Return to start, squeezing your glutes at the top of the move, for 1 rep. Do 3 sets of 12 reps.

Bec Donlan, who modeled these exercises, loves to push the limit with a resistance band. "It really targets your medial glute (the centermost butt muscle) and should set that bad boy on fire," Donlan, a trainer at Project by Equinox, tells SELF.
