Moving on from (or in conjunction with) single leg touchdown, single leg balance and reach is a very hard to do beneficial glute exercise. 

Glute medius holds us on one leg and is key in knee and ankle stability. Building strength in glute medius can be done in many ways. by standing on one leg alone is forcing the muscle to contact and hold. Moving the leg in different positions alters the centre of gravity and increases the load on the muscle.

The exercise can be progressed by increasing time or attaching a resistance band around the waist.
