How to do a glute bridge from home
This exercise targets the glutes, hamstrings and quad muscles. Every individual has different fitness levels and physical ability so it is important to ensure you do the correct volume for you. An idea of a way to set up could be 2 sets of 10 reps
Why should I do this exercise?
- Improves glute strength
- Strengthens and stabilises core
- Improves posture
How to do this exercise:
1. Lie on your back on a flat surface
2. Rest your arms by your side for additional support
3. Squeeze your glutes and tilt your pelvis so it is raised in the air
4. Hold at the top of this movement for 3 seconds
5. Slowly return to the start position
Tips to improve:
- Keep your core braces throughout
- Maintain control throughout the exercises
- To increase challenge you could do: staggered leg (the closed leg to your body will be worked more), single leg
Mistakes to avoid:
- Don't arch your lower back, instead keep your pelvis in line
- Don't allow knees to fall inwards/ outwards
- Not squeezing glutes at top of exercise - this works your glutes more!
