GLUTES

Foam Roll Hip Thrust

BeginnerBodyweight

A hip thrust performed with your heels on a foam roller for extra support and comfort at the hips and lower back. It works the glutes as the main mover while the roller keeps things accessible. A friendly option for beginners or anyone who finds a standard hip thrust uncomfortable.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie on your back with your heels on a foam roller and both palms flat on the floor.

  2. 2

    Set the roller so your knees reach roughly 90 degrees at the top of the thrust.

  3. 3

    Push through your heels into the roller and squeeze your glutes and hamstrings to drive your hips up.

  4. 4

    Hold briefly with your hips in line with your knees and shoulders.

  5. 5

    Lower your hips back down under control, keeping tension in your glutes and hamstrings, then repeat.
