The glute bridge is an effective exercise to strengthen the gluteus maximus and improve hip stability. It involves lifting the hips while maintaining the shoulders on the ground, engaging the core, and glute muscles. This movement enhances lower body strength and can help alleviate lower back pain.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
  2. Place arms at your sides with palms facing down.
  3. Press through the heels and lift your hips towards the ceiling while squeezing the glutes.
  4. Hold the position briefly at the top, ensuring a straight line from shoulders to knees.
  5. Lower the hips back to the starting position and repeat.
