Mini-Band Glute Bridge


Also called Banded Glute Bridge
Technique
How to perform Mini-Band Glute Bridge
- Place a mini loop band above the knees and lie on your back with the knees bent and feet planted; a mat is optional.
- Keep the ribs and pelvis controlled and press the knees gently outward against the band.
- Maintain that knee spacing as you press through the feet to lift the hips.
- Stop when the shoulders, hips and knees form a line, without lifting farther through the lower back.
- Pause briefly, then lower the hips under control while keeping the outward band pressure.
- Repeat without turning the hold into repeated knee-opening motions.
