Strengthen Your Core So Your Back's Not Sore - Glute Bridge

In this post, we continue to build upon McGill’s Big Three. Again, it's almost as if this whole core strength thing is...important! If you haven't had a chance to read those previous posts, check them out: Abdominal Bracing, Bird Dog, Curl Up and Side Bridge.

Today I'm introducing the Glute Bridge. Like the previous exercises in this series, the main goal is to work on improving core strength and stability (low back, abdominal and hip muscles). Start with one set of 10 reps daily. As this exercise becomes easier to perform, performing two sets daily, with a 60 second rest period between sets, is ideal. And, don't forget to keep up with your Abdominal Bracing and other core strengthening exercises too!
