Seated Glute Bridge

Improve posture & flexibility in your shoulders, chest and back. This seated stretch is great for releasing tension.

Instructions

Setup

  • Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground at approximately hip-width distance.

  • Place your palms on the floor behind you, keeping your arms extended for support and fingers facing away from your body.

Movement

  • Initiate the movement by driving through your heels to lift your hips off the ground.

  • Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.

  • Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement—avoid arching your back excessively at the top.

  • Lower your hips slowly with control until they are just above the floor, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
