How to: Resistance Band Elevated Glute Bridge
- Sit on the floor with your upper back against a bench and your feet flat on the ground.
- Place the resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees.
- Drive through your heels, lift your hips towards the ceiling, and squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
- Lower your hips back down without resting on the ground to keep tension in the band.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using your lower back instead of your glutes to lift.
- Allowing your knees to cave inward.
- Not fully extending the hips at the top of the movement.
Modifications
- Perform without the band for a less intense version.
- Use a bench or elevated surface if finding it difficult to perform.
Tips
- Ensure the resistance band is secured under your shoulders.
- Keep your core engaged to prevent arching your back.
- Press through your heels to maximize glute activation.
