💪Glute bridges are one of those exercises that looks super simple but takes a lot of focus to get right…
Because it can be challenging to get the RIGHT muscles to do the work. Especially since so many of us have “lazy” glutes because we sit so much!
TRY THIS: Get into position to do a glute bridge (lie on your back on the floor, knees bent and about hip-width apart, back in a neutral position, feet flat on the floor).
Brace your core and – your body working as one unit – drive your feet into the floor as you press your hips up toward the ceiling, focusing on squeezing your glutes.
Your body should form a straight line from your knees to your hips and then your shoulders.
Then, lower your hips with your body still working together as one unit.
It can help to take a video of yourself to see if your hips are in proper alignment and if you are actually doing the exercise with one movement (as opposed to pressing up your legs, then your hips, and then your ab).
Another helpful tip: touch your glutes at the top of your bridge to make sure they are contracting – aka working!
