SWISS BALL GLUTE BRIDGE

This is a hip extensor strengthening exercise that uses a Swiss / Stability Ball. This is an advanced version of the GLUTE BRIDGE exercise. Start by lying down on your back and placing both heels on the stability ball. Keep the knees bent to approximately 90 degrees. Complete a glute bridge by lifting the pelvis off of the floor while maintaining a neutral spine. Keep the core braced and drive through the heels to maximize glute engagement.

  • Posterior Chain

    • Erector Spinae

    • Hamstrings

  • Glutes
