Glute Bridge and Hip Thrust Machine

Specification

This Glute Bridge and Hip Thrust Machine is an exercise that targets the glutes or butt muscles, as well as works the hamstrings.  It is executed by lying on your back with your feet on the ground, knees bent and hip-width apart, and your arms extended beside your body.  You then lift your hips up towards the ceiling while keeping your feet and shoulders on the ground, hold for a few seconds, and then lower your hips back down.  This movement is repeated for several repetitions, and weights can be added in the form of dumbbells, a barbell, or a resistance band to increase resistance and challenge the muscles.  The Glute Bridge and Hip Thrust Machine is a great exercise for strengthening and toning the glutes, improving posture and athletic performance, and preventing lower-back pain, among other benefits.
