As the name suggests, a Glute Bridge primarily works the glute. This is an extremely important muscle for lower limb stability as they work to stabilise the hips and pelvis, and preventing injuries. The glutes are an important source of power in our running!

To perform a glute bridge lie flat on your back with your arms by your sides and your knees bent up. Drive your hips powerfully off the floor and slowly come back down. Your back should stay flat on the ground throughout and your pelvis tilted forward so you can activate your glutes. Focus on squeezing your glute muscles as you lift the hips up!

The closer your grounded foot is to your bum, the more this exercise will work your glutes. As you move your leg further away you will begin to work your hamstring more. To ensure you get the best workout, pause for a few seconds at the top of each repetition to really work into your glutes.
