I’ve been practicing Pilates for the past 15 years and one move that crops up in just about every lower body workout is the humble glute bridge. Sure, squats and lunges will target your glutes, but this Pilates exercise is a fantastic way to work your posterior chain (the muscles that run along the back of your body), without putting any stress on your spine. Unroll your yoga mat, and read on to find the exact variation I use to really work my glutes, as well as my deep abdominal muscles and pelvic floor.
As a reminder, what works for me might not be right for you and your body. If you’re a complete beginner, you’re pregnant or postpartum, or you’re recovering from a specific injury, it’s always best to seek personalized advice.
