How do you perform Weighted Glute Bridge?

  • Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
  • Place a weight on your lower abdomen and hold it.
  • Push your hips up and tense your buttocks.
  • Hold this position for a moment and then lower your hips.
  • Inhale as you push your hips up and exhale as you lower them.
  • Focus on tensing your buttocks.
  • Keep your back straight and your abs tense.

Common faults

  • Not full hip extension at the end of the movement.
  • Insufficient stability in the shoulders and trunk.
  • Insufficient tension of the gluteal muscles.
  • Tension in the neck and shoulders.
  • Too much weight so your hips don’t get high enough.
