Glute Bridge Technique and Progression
The glute bridge trains hip extension from the floor. It can be useful when you want a simple exercise with a stable starting position and little equipment.
Set up the movement
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet supported. Choose a foot position that lets you lift and lower under control. Raise the hips through a range you can manage without forcing the lower back to arch.
Choose an appropriate progression
Begin with controlled bodyweight repetitions. A coach can then assess whether a pause, a small resistance change or another hip-extension exercise better suits your goal. More range or load is useful only when the movement remains controlled.
Review comfort and purpose
The bridge is one option, not a cure for back pain or a mandatory exercise for everyone. Stop a variation that causes sharp or worsening symptoms and seek assessment when needed.
