The glute bridge. Simple. Underused. Genuinely effective.
Lie on your back, feet flat on the floor, knees bent.
Drive through your heels, squeeze your glutes, and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders.
Hold for a second at the top. Lower slowly. Repeat.
That’s it.
But don’t let the simplicity fool you.
Why it’s worth doing:
Strong glutes protect your knees, your lower back, and your hips. They’re the engine behind almost every movement you do — running, jumping, changing direction, getting up off the floor.
Most people’s glutes are underactive. Sitting all day, moving on autopilot, letting other muscles pick up the slack.
The glute bridge switches them back on.
No gym needed. No equipment. Five minutes.
If your lower back ni**les, your knees ache, or you feel like your legs do all the work when you run — your glutes might be the missing piece.
Start with 3 sets of 12. Feel the squeeze at the top. Build from there.
Save this one. It’s one of the first things I give almost every client.
