Squats (can do with body weight or weight) Lunges (hold some dumbbells) If you feel like trying them, Bulgarians split squats and Rdls are really good

i will never stop recommending a spanish squat (i think aka a barbell hack squat?). i get major knee pain with most weighted squats but this one always gets me righttt

Step ups, lying or standing hip abductions (can be done w or without machine), rdls, bulgarian split squats, hip thrusts, glute bridges, walking lunges, reverse lunge…+ can do single leg versions of things like hip thrusts, rdls, etc.

I love doing rdls with a pole to make sure my form is right. The lower back mid back and head should always stay in contact with the pole. I also do single leg rdls with the same thing too. They are a bit harder. I also think clam shells if done right are super effective and laying side leg raises are great too.
