Sumo Squats
If a 500-pound man in an adult diaper can do it, anyone can, right? Sumo squats—squats with your feet wider than hip width and with toes pointing out—require a unique combination of hip flexibility and glute and inner-thigh strength.

Tip: Just like a regular squat, push your booty out like you're sitting in a chair and then squeeze those glutes as you stand up.
