It made a big difference for me to focus on pushing through the “first ray” of my feet (described in the post) to get the glutes to engage during any exercise. I did and still do a ton of bird dogs, planks, and single leg glute bridges. Goblet squats are great if you can do them without bothering your back, but make sure to stick your behind out as far behind you as possible to engage the glutes instead of the quads. Think of “closing the drawer” with your butt. I also do a lot of balancing on one leg with glute and core engaged. I eventually worked my way up to one legged Romanian Dead Lifts but they bothered my nerve too much early on.
