Exercise Description

The banded glute bridge builds stronger glutes and hamstrings while fixing hip mobility. It's perfect for fixing weak glutes that cause back pain.

How To

1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on floor, resistance band around your thighs just above knees. 2. Keep your core tight and feet hip-width apart, toes pointing straight ahead. 3. Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips up, pushing knees out against the band during the banded glute bridge. 4. Hold the top position for 2 seconds, making sure your body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders. 5. Lower your hips back down slowly and repeat the banded glute bridge movement for your target reps.

Form Tips

• Keep constant tension on the band by pushing your knees out during the entire banded glute bridge movement. • Squeeze your glutes hard at the top and hold for 2 seconds. • Don't arch your back - keep your ribs down and core tight during the banded glute bridge. • Drive through your heels, not your toes, to activate your glutes properly.

Common Mistakes

• Letting knees cave in instead of pushing out against the band during the banded glute bridge. • Rising too high and arching your back instead of stopping when hips are fully extended. • Not squeezing glutes at the top or rushing through the banded glute bridge movement.
