Resistance band exercises for glute strength

I've never been much about brute strength. However, I was told yesterday I need to work on my GLUTE strength!

We have a physical therapy office inside the Y where I work. I finally broke down and asked one of the therapists about my left knee/quad pain. She asked me some questions and had me do a couple squats. Right away she diagnosed my problem: weak glutes/hips. Apparently it's because when I did a one-leg squat I turned my knee inward.

If you're interested in the gluteal muscles you can read about them HERE. It's basically your hips and butt area. I had suspected this might be part of my problem.

So, Nikki (the PT) suggested I start doing some resistance band exercises. It helps that I spend the better part of my days at a place where they are available, along with any type of exercise equipment I could want or need. Although, being as germ-conscious as I am, I will likely buy a set of mini resistance bands of my own. They are fairly inexpensive, and I can use them at home too.

I did some reading on some different exercise specifically for runners. I will probably try to concentrate mostly on these four to begin with (found here), along with some squats and lunges:

• Lateral Shuffle
• Monster Walk (or Wet Pants Walk)
• Glute bridge (single leg)
• Lying Kickback

Here are also a few videos and articles explaining some different resistance band exercises:

So, while I have always identified more as a 'resister'... I can no longer resist using resistance bands. I guess.
