Focus fully rotating your knee all the way in and all the way out. Mini Band Monster Walks - Perform 10 Steps Forward/ 10 Backwards These will produce a very nice glute burn. Again make sure you are in that athletic position be as low as you can with good form. Take steps forward and back that are diagonal or 45 degrees to each side.
