Perfect Glute Bridge Technique
The glute bridge is a fundamental exercise for strengthening your posterior chain, specifically targeting the glutes and hamstrings. This movement is essential for improving hip stability, reducing lower back pain, and enhancing athletic performance. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures optimal glute activation and proper movement patterns.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on floor, arms at your sides for stability
- Foot Placement: Position feet hip-width apart, about 6 inches from your glutes
- Hip Drive: Squeeze glutes and drive hips up, creating straight line from knees to shoulders
- Controlled Return: Lower hips back down with control, maintaining tension in glutes throughout
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pushing through toes instead of heels
- Arching back excessively at the top
- Using momentum instead of muscle control
- Not fully extending hips at the top
- Allowing knees to fall inward or outward
