Hip bridges are one of those exercises whose variations go across most fitness genres. You’ll see them in the weight room, in a yoga class, in a Pilates studio, and in group exercise. But using them to target the foot to hip connection, and turning on the glutes with abs supporting the spine, weeeellll, that’s not always so common.

In my classes and with my clients, lifting from the low back is the most common error I see. If your goal is to work more of your back, then that’s one thing. My goal for my clients is usually to get that core triad to work – abs, inner thigh, and glutes – and to get the feet right so the exercise translates better to walking. Here’s a super little short video from trainer Conor Harris that shows it beautifully.

Conor’s explanation is much like a Pilates pelvic lift. Will you give it a try? Let me know if you can feel an improvement. 🙂
