    Wow never did a glute bridge and felt the burn like that. I always hated them because they would always irritate my low back. This walk through is awesome, the pushing through the heels and balls of the feet seems key for me. Thank you!

    This is excellent. After years of doing these wrong it makes a world of difference to push properly down and learn to activate and strengthen the glutes and hammies properly and extend the true range of hip extension, and not use the spine or shoulders to try to get into some weird pose.

    This is genius ! When you explain it, it becomes so obvious.....and yet, everyone is doing it (and teaching it) wrong. The result is that most of us end up with weak glutes and, as in my case, hip arthritis 😬😭 (or low back problems). Thank you very much Conor for all the valuable information you have offered me through your videos ! It has really helped me improve my awareness & situation 🤗🙏

    This is why it is always beneficial to actually go to a class with a good teacher for things like bridges and other work I have an excellent pilates instructor who is highly trained and works with a cross section of people and abilities. Her focus is always on the core and exactly what is being said here about the biocmechanics of the body during every exercise

  • @janenichols4261
    @janenichols4261 3 дні тому

    Good video but if you want to isolate the giutes better, need to pull the feet in. Hamstrings are doing some of the work with the feet so far away from the glutes.

    A natural lumbar lordosis is a neutral spinal position. Flaring your ribs and attaining a neutral lumbar lordosis are not equivalent.

    Ive always flared my knees out for glute bridge and hip thruster to activate my glutes. When i try it like this (with knees in line with feet), it seems to activate my quads a lot which I don't want. Why is this happening?

      YES 👍🏼 and try both ways and check what feels best for your glutes. But my feeling is that Conor is spot on. Just wondering how many reps. 2x a week.

    Left hip has totally left the chat on me, I see a bone doctor and they say I need replacement but I believe I have a pinched capsule and haven't been able to find the person or the technique to get it to unpinch, doing these glute bridges are totally excruciating on the left buttock periformis sciatic area in the form of a pinch. Ruining my life.

    • @rhondapelletier2141
      @rhondapelletier2141 Місяць тому

      I used to teach and also teach karate and I had excruciating pain in my left hip, I found one thing that was so helpful was to stretch by placing the opposite foot on a bench or a chair with the other leg on the floor and lean forward to stretch the hip area that connects your leg to your pelvis and hold. Repeat this several times slowly and controlled and do it several times a week. My pain is gone, but it took a few months.

    This bridge exercise puts a lot of strain and pain on my entire back the next day. I do not think it is natural movement for our back. But doing pelvic tilts seems to help strengthen my lower back issues more than anything.
