Glute Bridge

Glute Bridge Instructions

• Lay down on the floor with your arms across your chest and knees bent at 90 degrees.
• Feet are shoulder-width apart and you have a neutral spine.
• Initiate the exercise by extending your hips (raising your glutes) up.
• Drive your heels through the floor.
• Actively contract your glutes.
• Don't extend/arch your low back.
• Focus on the contraction of the glutes versus how high you raise them.
• If you feel your hamstrings lengthening, then your low back is doing the work.
• There is not a large range of motion for this exercise.
• Hold at the top and actively squeeze.
• Lower slowly to the starting position.

*Tips*

• Changing your foot placement will alter the stimulus in your glutes. 
• Perform single-leg variations to increase the difficulty of the movement.
