How to do glute bridge

Coach's Tips

This exercise is ideal for novices as it involves manageable body weight movements that enhance the strength of your thigh and hip muscles!

Start Position

1. Start by lying on your back, either on the ground or a bench, with feet flat and knees bent at a 90-degree angle.

2. Extend your arms to the sides for extra balance.

Proper Form

1. Push through your heels to lift your hips until your body aligns in a straight line from shoulders to knees.

2. Pause briefly at the top, then gently lower your hips back to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Exhale as you lift your hips upward.

2. Inhale as you bring your hips back down to the starting point.

Precautions

1. Ensure your core remains engaged and your lower back maintains contact with the floor or bench during the movement.

2. Avoid letting your hips drop excessively when lowering them, as this can strain your lower back.
