Sohee Lee has a good tutorial video for both hip thrusts and glute bridges:

She also has a lot of good short glute workouts that use little or no equipment, like this one with a loop band, step and optional puppy

ETA: here's a good no-equipment "Butt Blaster" circuit: http://youtu.be/jweOr5fxvmI

I also like KB swings. Crab walks & clamshells with a resistance loop are good too.

Ha! But I like that she cuts right to the chase, instead of yammering for 5 minutes about how her day has been going, like other social media fitness personalities. BTW you can slow down the video speed if necessary

True that, Sue! Less yammering is always better.

all of the suggestions so far are great. a few more from the barre world:

pretzel move (quick callanetics, bar method, exhale core fusion)
kneeling hips and thighs leg lifts (quick callanetics)
pelvic rotations (quick callanetics, callanetics)


i also recently purchased a booty band that goes around your thighs - wear it when you do any workout, including Leslie Sansone - i got this one that comes with 3 bands:
https://smile.amazon.com/Victorem-Bo...rds=booty+band

Pilates ring - inner thigh moves. you can also do this squeezing a ball between your knees. yes, this is inner thighs, but it will strengthen and lean out your entire upper leg area which leads to your glutes.

another ball between your legs move:
stand w/ball between your knees, do 3 sets of squats. you will feel it in your glutes, hips, and thighs.

Mary has the DVD in her sale but since I was looking for a few add-on exercises, not a whole workout, I think I will pass on it. I can always use part of the you tube video if I'm in the mood for working with an instructor.

BTW I tried the hip thrusts and found them quite doable.

you can find pretzel and the other moves on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81lgxUzjRMk

you can also see the kneeling leg pulses/lifts in her book (in most libraries). i tried to find an image on the web but couldn't find one.

Quick callanetics, on 1 disc, has 3, 20 minute routines that are separately chaptered.

Like others have mentioned, Barre work (especially pretzel, table, side laying/clam, bridge), Barlates is a great choice. Also Tonique with all her backwards lunges.

I haven’t done kettlebells in a long time but I did think they helped shape the glutes too!
