Description of exercise The extended glut bridge exercise is a variation of the traditional glut bridge exercise that targets the gluteal muscles, specifically the gluteus maximus. To perform this exercise, one lies on their back with their knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Instead of lifting the hips off the ground, the extended glut bridge involves extending one leg straight out while keeping the other foot planted on the ground. This slight modification increases the intensity of the exercise and also engages the hamstrings and core muscles. The extended glut bridge is a great way to strengthen and tone the glutes, improve hip stability, and prevent lower back pain.
