Glute Bridges

Glute bridges are an exercise that targets the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back. To perform glute bridges, start by lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Place your arms by your sides with your palms facing down. Engage your core and glutes, then raise your hips up towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement. Slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.
In CrossFit, glute bridges are often used as a warm-up exercise or as part of a high-intensity workout that includes other bodyweight exercises or weightlifting movements. The difficulty of the exercise can be increased by holding a weight on your hips or by performing single-leg variations. The number of reps and sets can be modified to suit different fitness levels. Proper form and technique are important to prevent injury, and a qualified coach can provide instruction and guidance to ensure safe and effective execution.
