My Top 5 Bridges For Hips and Core
5 Bridge Workouts to Strengthen and Shape up the Hips
Jodie shares five bridge workouts to strengthen your hips, buttocks, and core. There are many variations of bridges and in this video, Jodie demonstrates the most effective glute bridges.
The hip joint is complex and made up of many muscles to help with stability, the lower back, knees, and ankles. If we have weak glutes, it can place strain on the lower back, walking, knees, and ankles.
To build strength and stability around the hips, you need to work on all your glutes and core. These bridge variations not only help you shape up the buttocks but also help strengthen and be more stable with walking.
5 Bridge Variations for Hip Strength and Stability
Bridge with Ball (or block)
Bridge with resistance band (and arm pulldowns)
One-leg Bridges
Booty Band Bridge
Frog Bridge
Spice up your buttock (hip) workout with these bridge variations you can do at home.
