#Info – Bodyweight Glute Bridge
The bodyweight glute bridge primarily targets the glutes and can improve hip mobility and core stability. A common mistake is arching the lower back; ensure your ribs stay down and your core engaged. Avoid pushing through your toes; instead, press through your heels to maximize glute activation. For beginners, start with shorter holds, gradually increasing as strength improves. Advanced users can add single-leg variations or elevate feet for greater challenge. To prevent knee strain, keep knees aligned with hips and shoulders. Regular inclusion can enhance posture and alleviate lower back tension.
