The single leg deadlift is one of my favorite glute exercises for balancing out the strength of the hips.

[And for working overall reactive balance in movement as well.]

Some people are not very balanced in their strength with single leg exercises and this can cause a problem by increasing compensation during squats, swing and deadlifts. 

It really toasts the hamstrings and glutes along,with cause lats and torso muscles to stabilize the spine. Especially of you lift heavy. 

As always, start light and progress.   I did not begin with 79 lbs x2 as shown in this video. 

Use your lats to keep tension in your shoulders and try to keep your knee from crossing the midline of your body. 

I find it much better to go barefoot or have zero drop, non squishy shoes so you can train the foot and ankle complex as well. 

Body weight or contralateral holds [ stand on left foot hold weight in right hand and vice versa] are a good way to start. 

I fild 5x5 reps on each. Leg work well to build strong and stable  hips with heavy weight.

And as always, your glutes will thank you.
