The Glute Bridge for LOWER BACK and CORE!

-

 

Performing a glute bridge is a great exercise for strengthening and toning your glutes, hamstrings, and lower back. Here are the steps to perform a basic glute bridge:

  1. Lie down on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.

  2. Keep your arms straight and rest them by your sides, palms down on the floor.

  3. Engage your core muscles and squeeze your glutes as you lift your hips off the floor.

  4. Keep your shoulders and upper back on the floor while you lift your hips up as high as you can.

  5. Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.

  6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps.

Note: For added difficulty, you can try performing the exercise with your feet elevated on a bench or using a resistance band or weight on your hips.
