How to: Wide Glute Pulse Bridge
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Engage your glutes and lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
- At the top of the bridge, pulse your hips upwards for a defined count.
- Lower your hips back down to the ground and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the lower back to arch excessively.
- Using momentum instead of controlled movements.
- Not fully extending the hips at the top of the bridge.
Modifications
- Perform with feet closer together for a less intense variation.
- Elevate your shoulders on a bench for increased range of motion.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement for better stability.
- Ensure your feet are positioned wide enough to target the glutes effectively.
- Pause at the top of the movement for increased intensity.
