Resistance Band Elevated Glute Bridge
The glute bridge with the feet up on a step and a looped band above the knees: the raised feet lengthen the range, the band keeps the knees pushing out.
How to do it
Setup
On your back, heels on a low step, knees bent, a looped band just above the knees.
Steps
- Press the knees out against the band before the hips leave the floor.
- Drive through the heels until knees, hips and shoulders line up.
- Lower all the way with the band still taut.
Common mistakes
Knees caving toward each other: the band wants it; keep them over the feet. Heels sliding off the step: set them in the middle of it. Arching at the top: ribs down, the glutes finish.
Breathing
Exhale driving up, inhale lowering.
