If you struggle to feel your butt muscles working during a glute bridge exercise, this is a fantastic variation which should hit them like never before. The key to this exercise is to keep the knees out to the sides the whole time. Teaching points:
•Lay on back with knees bent and feet on either side of a hex dumbbell, squeezing into it. •Brace abdominal muscles and keep braced throughout exercise. •Squeeze glutes and lift hips up off floor. Continue raising until there is a straight line from knees - hips - shoulders. •Avoid over-arching lower back during exercise and try not to use hamstrings during exercise. Work should be done by butt muscles. •With control, lower back to floor and repeat. •Use a towel across hips to cushion against weight if using a dumbbell
