The banded glute bridge lights up the glutes with resistance right where the muscle works hardest, at full hip extension. All you need is a band and the floor.
How to Perform
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat, and anchor the band across your hips (looped under something heavy, or held down).
- Brace your core and drive through your heels.
- Push your hips up until your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders.
- Squeeze your glutes hard at the top against the band's tension.
- Lower under control and repeat without resting your hips on the floor.
Tips
- Squeeze and hold the top for a beat; that is where the band fights hardest.
- Push through your heels, not your toes, to keep the load on the glutes.
- Keep your ribs down so you do not arch your lower back to finish the rep.
