Glute bridge

How to do it, step by step

1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat, close to your hips.
2. Brace your abs and squeeze your glutes.
3. Lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
4. Hold for a second at the top and lower slowly.

Common mistakes

• Arching your lower back instead of lifting with your glutes.
• Placing your feet too far away, which shifts the work to your hamstrings.
• Dropping down quickly.
