Are you at the point where one more squat or lunge during a workout might just have you pulling your hair out? Or perhaps you're recovering from an injury and you have to stay away from squats and lunges?
First and foremost, let's get this out on the table: there's a reason squats and lunges have become the go-to move for fitness trainers - 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬! They work your entire lower body, including the glutes, quads, hamstrings, hips, and thighs. In addition, they are functional in nature. So don't throw them out just yet!
For those of you who are looking for alternatives to squats and lunges - don't discount the glute bridge - a worthy booty lifting exercise.😉 🍑. Let's see the benefits of the glute bridge:
1️⃣Works Your Core
2️⃣Strengthens Your Back
3️⃣Less Impact on the Knees and Hips
4️⃣Isolates the Glutes and Hamstrings

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐆𝐄:
✔️Place your feet on the floor with your feet placed directly under your knees.
✔️Engage the core and squeeze your glutes as you lift your hips to a bridge
✔️Hold, squeezing tight and return to hoovering over the mat with control.
✔️Option to add a dumbbell to your hips for an advancement - adds extra weight to squeeze the glutes!
𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓: Do 15 reps / 3 sets a few times a week to strength your buns and hamstrings! BONUS - it's a great core exercise too! 😉
