🛑 STOP doing glute bridges like this! You’re not using your glutes (or core)!

❌ STOP doing this during your glute bridges 🛑
- Pelvic floor needs to be pushed DOWN at the bottom of the motion to actually get your glutes to work (and your core).
- squuueeezeeee your glutes at the top (often called “ugly butt squeeze”)

I was probably doing it in the wrong form all these times. Thanks for the great tip, Vera.

[@VeraLaRo]

Hope it helps!! Small adjustments can make a large difference 💪

[@heather7897]

People don’t realize that the move is very small! It isn’t a yoga bridge where you use the chest back and butt.

[@VeraLaRo]

Absolutely!

[@Sarah-bn1hg]

Ugh thanks I’m always perfecting my form 💪

You got this!

Thank you so much!

[@cesarcandanozah7150]

Always like hearing advice from women when it comes to lower body training. Girls tend to train it better than us men.

[@VeraLaRo]

Thank you! The only caveat to that is that vast majority of women unfortunately show most lower body exercises incorrectly - pretty much every exercise is shown with a harmful pelvic tilt as it makes the glutes look bigger.

[@cesarcandanozah7150]

@@VeraLaRo yes ! Totally true, most women do that, but then again, most people training don’t have a clue what they are doing haha. A lot of men too, for example when doing push ups or pull ups. Proper core activation is a Skill.

[@francesca7518]

actually, I never paid any attention to the position, but from today I will. heartfelt thanks Vera, kind and thorough as always. 💖💖💖

[@VeraLaRo]

Hope this helps!! You should notice your glutes (and core) working much harder 💪

[@francesca7518]

[@VeraLaRo]

You’re most welcome! So glad it’s helpful! Hope you give my full workouts a try 💪

[@yeowcs]

Great tip! Another thing to note is, it's NOT how high we can raise our butt. Instead, focus on squeezing the butts on the way up.😊

[@VeraLaRo]

You should absolutely squeeze your butt at the top, but the focus should always be on the motion of bringing your glutes up - that’s where most of the work should come in 💪 if your pelvis is in a proper position, it’s very hard to bring your glutes up higher than they need to be 💪

[@jaklinorlowski3541]

Love your videos and programs. Finishing up your Summer program and absolutely love the changes I'm seeing on my body. Please keep posting workout programs. I tell everybody about your KZbin channel. It's the best!!!

🤯 had no idea!

[@VeraLaRo]

Hope this helps!! When in doubt, push your pelvic floor down, it’s a good rule of thumb for most exercises!

Can u make a video on diet? Thanks for this video though

[@VeraLaRo]

[@damiancosta2588]

Looks like I've been doing this exercise competed wrong. Did brace core but never tilted the pelvis.

[@VeraLaRo]

You don’t want to tilt the pelvis, you’ll want to start with a neutral pelvis on the bottom 💪 see how it feels for you!

[@RaggityDoll]

That is so hard to do

[@VeraLaRo]

Which part? Glute bridges are usually shown with the pelvis completely out of alignment - most people do then incorrectly.

[@passionadams640]

i have lumbar lordosis so my back is arched no matter what i do 😬

[@VeraLaRo]

Sorry to hear!

[@Pitacrumbs]

Everyone talks about everything exept that….

[@tinadenisyuk7428]

I'm so flat from the back, so I couldn't do it in a wrong way even if I want😂 But thanks 👍

[@VeraLaRo]

It’s less about the size of your glutes and more about the position of your pelvis. Keeping it in a neutral position helps save your lower back 🙏💕 hope that helps!

[@maritzavilla9380]

Thank you beautiful

[@VeraLaRo]

You are most welcome!

[@jackierivera9621]

Probably my least favorite exercise 😞😫

[@VeraLaRo]

Aah how come? Just don’t like how it feels?

[@jackierivera9621]

I use my couch to do them and I think it may be a little too high? I feel like I feel it in my lower back the most so maybe I’m just doing them incorrectly!

[@VeraLaRo]

I would go with bridges instead then (from the ground). Once you’re comfortable, you can elevate your feet first versus elevating your shoulders. Should help you with using glutes more (versus low back). And check my other reel on bridge form & pelvis positioning, could help with form 🥰

[@jackierivera9621]

Thank you!!

What are the glutes?
