Glute Bridge — Cool-Down Beginner: start position, controlled movement and finish position shown as a three-state coaching sequence.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat. Brace gently, drive through your heels and lift your hips until shoulders, hips and knees form a long line; lower slowly.
  2. Keep it controlled enough that you could stop the rep cleanly at any point.

Equipment

Example variations

The written steps above use one library example. These other doses are separate options, not instructions to complete every variation or progress automatically.
