I don't get people when they say "how do you contract your glute". All your doing is tensing it. The only real difference your probably going to notice is that your hip wont go as high because your ass isn't strong enough to make it really noticeable.

how do you contract your glutes?

@ilovehim8ful None of us learned how to do this overnight. ;-)) Keep trying. Try sitting in a hard chair (like a folding chair) and squeezing your glutes (butt muscles) to raise you slightly on the chair. Now, keep your glutes contracted and relax your quad muscles (leg muscles) so that the glutes are the only thing contracted. When you can isolate the glutes only, start switching from right to left, increasing speed as you go. You'll get it. It just takes lots of practice!
