Hip Thrusts demonstration gif

Instructions:

  • 1Start by sitting on the ground with a bench directly behind you.
  • 2Lean back onto the bench so that your shoulder blades are near the top of it.
  • 3Bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
  • 4Lower your hips down then push from your heels to lift your hips till they are in line with your body.
  • 5Return to the starting position in a controlled manner.

Tips:

  • Ensure your feet are flat on the ground and your knees aren't collapsing inward.
  • Don't thrust up so high that it causes your lower back to curve.
  • Focus on tightening your glutes at the top of the movement.
  • Breathe out as you push up, and breathe in as you lower your hips.
