Technique
Setup
Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Place a loop band just above your knees.
Movement
Drive through your heels to lift your hips while pressing your knees outward against the band. Squeeze at the top, lower slowly.
Form Tip
Keep ribs down and push the knees out the whole time — the band is there to resist them caving in.
Increase Difficulty
Add a 3-second hold at the top or place a dumbbell on your hips.
Decrease Difficulty
Remove the band and master the basic glute bridge first.
