Bodyweight Glute Bridges

Also known as Bodyweight Floor Bridges and Bodyweight Hip Bridges

What It Is

A gentle lift done lying down that wakes up and strengthens your glutes. It's a great first step for anyone who sits a lot.

How to Do It

Lie on your back on the floor with knees bent and feet flat, hip-width apart. Press through your heels to lift your hips until your body is straight from shoulders to knees. Pause, then lower slowly.

Tips

Squeeze your glutes at the top instead of arching your lower back. Keep your knees from falling inward.
