GLUTES

Medicine Ball Glute Bridge

BeginnerMedicine ball

A bridge variation where a medicine ball is held against the hips to add a little resistance and a balance challenge. It works the glutes and hamstrings while the core stays engaged to keep the ball steady. This is an accessible way to start loading your bridges without needing a barbell.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie on your back with knees bent and heels pulled in to roughly a hand's width from your glutes.

  2. 2

    Hold a medicine ball in both hands and rest it over your hip bones.

  3. 3

    Push your heels into the floor and squeeze your glutes to raise your hips upward.

  4. 4

    Bring your hips level with your knees and shoulders, then hold that top position.

  5. 5

    Keep your torso aligned and feel the work in your glutes and hamstrings, not your lower back.
