Benefits of the Glute Bridge Exercise<\/h2>\n

Besides the fact that you can do glute bridges anywhere you have enough space to lie on the floor, this exercise is a great way to tone your lower body muscles. \u201cThe glutes are not only one of the strongest muscles groups in the body, but also quite literally your seat of athletic power, generating explosive force during everything from sprinting and jumping to squatting, lifting, and climbing,\u201d says\u00a0Trevor Thieme, C.S.C.S.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your butt muscles are\u00a0also among the most neglected, thanks to hours a day spent sitting on them rather than putting them to work. \u201cThe result is\u00a0weak glutes\u00a0and tight hip flexors, a combination that torpedoes performance and sets the stage for\u00a0low back pain,\u201d Thieme says.<\/span><\/p>\n
