How to do the Loop-Band Glute Bridge
Begin by laying flat on your back with your knees bent and feet placed firmly on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
Place a resistance band around your legs, just above your knees.
Press your arms to the floor for stability, and ensure that your neck and spine are in a neutral position.
Squeeze your glutes to lift your hips up towards the ceiling, pushing against the resistance of the band. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your knees at the top of the movement.
Hold the bridge position for a moment, continuing to push out against the band to engage the muscles on the sides of your hips.
Slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position without letting your glutes completely touch the ground before beginning the next repetition.
Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring you maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Remember to breathe out as you push up into the bridge and inhale as you return to the starting position. Adjust the resistance of the band as needed to suit your fitness level.
