They’ll activate your glutes more than a squat does, and that can lead to greater gains. By doing this, you’ll get more balanced muscle development between the front and back of your lower body and build stronger, more defined glutes.<\/p>\n
Glute Bridges<\/h2>\n
The glute bridge is an isometric exercise that targets the gluteus maximus, the largest muscle in your buttocks, and the one that gives it its shape. Here’s how to do one:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Lie on your back on a mat with your knees bent.<\/li>\n
- Place both arms flat on the mat with your palms facing down.<\/li>\n
- Lift your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from your legs to your shoulders.<\/li>\n
- While holding this position, squeeze your glutes together at the top and hold as long as you can.<\/li>\n
- Rest and repeat.<\/li>\n
- Try to increase the amount of time you hold at the top and squeeze your glutes harder over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
