Glute Bridge
The glute bridge is the foundational glute exercise. Lying on the floor, you drive your hips up by squeezing your glutes. It is simpler than the hip thrust and is an excellent warm-up or standalone exercise.
How to Perform
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
Drive through your heels to lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders.
Squeeze your glutes hard at the top for 2 seconds.
Lower slowly back to the ground.
Keep your core braced and do not hyperextend at the top.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Pushing through toes instead of heels.
Hyperextending the lower back at the top.
Not squeezing the glutes — just going through the motion.
