Do squats. Focus on squeezing the glutes. Most people say to squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. This is for people who use heavy weight. Scientific studies show that the further you go past that point, the more your gluteus muscles are activated. Try Squatting with just the bar and go all the way down until you are completely squatting. If the bar is too much, do it without the bar. And vice versa. Add weight as needed. Just don't go too heavy, as going past the parallel point will put a lot of stress on the knees. Of course follow typical squat techniques. Head up, chin out, back straight.
