Could someone please list all the exercises and sports necessary for firming and lifting the glutes? I am looking for everything you know, ranging from simple home workouts to organized sports.

Step aerobics, rolling exercises... honestly, you can find a ton of anaerobic workouts online if you actually look for them...
Google is your best friend here 😉

Neither one. In my experience, those exercises mostly just help slim down your glutes, and any lifting effect is pretty minimal. They actually just made mine smaller, and I’m already quite lean at 5'9" and 132 lbs. For me, the only thing that worked was using weight machines. There’s one where you lie down and lift your legs, and another where you stand and lift them one at a time—it just depends on the manufacturer.

Lay face down on the floor, tuck your foot inward, and start lifting one leg at a time. You want to vary the tempo—sometimes quick, sometimes slow—and then hold that top position for a second. The most critical part is keeping your glutes completely steady; don't go making these jerky, uncontrolled movements with your legs, and for heaven's sake, don't kick them up toward the ceiling. Just lift them enough to feel that intense squeeze in your glute muscles.
Once you've mastered that, you can transition onto all fours. Lift a leg and bend it at the knee to create a sharp, right angle, then work on controlled lifts. Again, I'm telling you, stay away from those sudden, violent jerks, and be extremely careful not to let your lower back sag toward the ground.
There are honestly endless variations for these types of exercises. If you prefer standing, you can just grab onto a wall for stability and perform the lifts one by one...

Listen, you idiots... drop your butt way back—so far back that your knees don't pass your toes—and make sure your back stays flat and reaches upward. Try pushing off FROM YOUR HEELS... you can even lift your toes slightly off the floor if that makes it easier for you...

Get down on your hands and knees and lift your legs (one at a time)—they can be bent at a 90° angle or kept straight, just make sure you keep those feet flexed.

Lie on your back, bend your knees, and drive your hips up toward the ceiling. You don't need to go super high—just watch that your upper back stays glued to the floor. You can do it with both feet down, one leg crossed over the other (ankle over knee), or just hold one leg out in the air...

And obviously, a little running won't hurt anyone 🙂)
That’s all I can think of right now—if something else pops into my head, I'll let you know.🙂
