Glute Bridge

Target Muscle: Gluteus Maximus

Outline: The Glute Bridge is a must-do exercise for targeting the Glute Max as the primary working muscle, with minimal input from secondary muscles. This is vitally important if your glutes have become weak and under-active because of inactivity and prolonged sitting through desk-bound work, driving, watching tv, etc.

Weak and under-active glutes, along with tight and overactive opposing muscles, can cause postural problems that can lead to lower back pain and a lack of functional capabilities. We cover this in more detail in book five of the Simple Fitness After 50 Series.

The Glute Bridge is relatively easy to perform and can be done with no equipment. There are several variations with room for progression by adding load to the front of the hips, and by moving on to hip thrusts (covered next).

Equipment: Mat.
