Bodyweight squats will work all three muscles-gluteus Maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The most strain will, however, be on your gluteus maximus. Throw in some high-rep bodyweight squats, and you have yourself a winning combination.

You can use squats to train most of the major muscle groups in your body at varying degrees, depending on how you perform them. The primary muscles powering a bodyweight squat are your: Quadriceps (front of the thigh) Hamstrings (back of the thigh) Glutes (buttocks)
