Ashley Borden, the celebrity trainer seen on Khloe Kardashian’s Revenge Body: Glute Bridge
Borden likes all kinds of glute bridges because they help you work your glutes, especially when you’re traveling. She says, “When we sit for long periods of time, our hamstrings and hip flexors get shorter and tighter.” This can make it harder for your glutes to work over time, both in the gym and in everyday life (it is also known as dead butt syndrome). Adding glute bridges to your workout can help you deal with this.
- Lay on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, about hip-width apart.
- Pull your glutes and abs in and push through your heels to lift your hips a few inches off the floor until your shoulders and knees form a straight line.
- At the top, stop and squeeze your glutes, then slowly lower your hips to go back to the starting position.
Reps: Borden recommends doing 30 reps, and if you want to make it harder, do 15 reps with your left leg extended toward the ceiling and 15 reps with your right leg extended.
