I'm in the military and have been experiencing extreme back pain, ive done a lot of the physical therapy stretches, and hasn't really helped, so I decided strengthening my lower back would be better than stretching it out over and over again, done this exercise before and only felt it in the hamstrings, didn't help, thank you so much for explaining it clearly, once I started engaging my glutes my freaking back started tingling, it felt like fluid drained out of it and now my back feels freaking great, I can't explain how happy I am right now, this is the first progress I've made on my back in 2 years.
There's a lot of videos here showing you how to do the movement right but almost no one shows you what you have to correct and where do you have to "feel it" and that's really important.
Jump to 2:21 if you want to get to the exercises immediately. I really learned a lot from this. I was told to do glute bridges since I was in high school, but I never do them right. This video really helped me!
I have so much respect for this instructor, very kind and sincere. I would like to thank him and everyone who participated in producing and broadcasting this video.
I met an elite physio in my country, he told me to use band while doing this execrice. I didn't ask him why, but today after watching this video I realized the reason.
it is amazing how just learning the right and wrong ways of doing exercises, can make a huge difference. and learning where your muscles are and how they feel.
I am active duty and have low back pain while running from years of muscle imbalances. I've been told to bridge by physical therapist before but never truly shown how to activate the glute. This video is a huge money maker. Thank you!
Very simple, direct explanation that I will be putting to use starting today. I went to PT the other day for hip pain and it was determined that the muscles in front of my hip were getting worked too much and those in the glute very little. He gave me exercises to strengthen the glutes, but I'll be adding this to my routine. Thanks for making this available!
I’m 71, and this is an exercise I learned at PT, the therapist NEVER gave me the detailed instructions u do in this video! I never could figure out why they had me doing it! I’ve already done my workout for today, so I’ll try yours this weekend. Thx sooo much!
This is so much more helpful than previous advice I got from PT. They had me doing glute vridges that were painful for a while before trying to correct them. Then even attempts to correct were not this effective. Thanks for takingthe time to make this and explain how to properly correct the issue!
Honestly this video is a life saver!! I didn’t realise how wrong I was doing bridges till now. My right hip always hurts because of right hip flexors so I’m really trying to grow strength in my glutes. Thank you so much for your help!
Wow, I had seen so many videos on the correct way of doing these glute bridges. But this is the best one, I had seen so far. As soon as I followed his instructions I really felt it on my butt, was on fire. Thanks, you are very knowledgeable, great job!!!
This was so incredibly well explained and so helpful. I have been getting lower back pain from running for years, watched your video on how that can be due to poor glute activation which led me here. I did as instructed here and my glutes are screaming after just a few bridges! Lots of work to do now but thanks so much for getting me on the right path!!
I need Bridges. I have 6 level spinal fusion in my back. The only way to stay pain free is to perform the bridges the professional way you teach! Doing them wrong is destruction. You are the Best I have seen on the site for teaching how to target GLUET not legs or back. Everyone needs these for spinal system support. unless they want to get OLD before their time. Bless you for posting this.
I’ve probably seen over a dozen Physical Therapists over the years for back pain. None of them used this technique. I’m sure they said to focus on the glutes, but I have never been able to actually use them properly until now! Thanks so much for this video!
I do glute bridges along with double leg raises on the floor 3 sets of each with zero rest till finished every morning my posture has never been better now I have zero back pain they work beautifully
I will start with your explanation, experiencing lower back pain and muscle pain with leg exercises, and this exercise schedule to see if any improvement will work out.
wow.. this is the best video on how to effective do glute bridge exercise. I was surprised by how using resistance band (knee pushing out) activates the most of my glutes. In fact, just by pushing my knee/things outward with a resistant band can activate my glute muscles. Interesting how squeezing inward (with a yoga block for foam in between legs) did not activate much glute--but much more of my quads. Thank you so much for clarifying the bridge exercise.
Awesome advice so glad you took the time to explain the different techniques. The one thing for me that makes putting the time into working out is correct form from start to finish. "Practice makes perfect" doesn't necessarily work if you're practicing with bad form so with that said thank you very much and all the best.
You are the ONLY ONE that got me to active my glutes!! Having anterior pelvic tilt is a bummer and ruins every workout. I started scrawny as hell, still am. No core or glutes hence the APT. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for literally saving my ass😉
I've been trying to do the glute Bridge but could just feel that my flutes were not engaging and so sought out this video. Well explained practical advice. Thank you so much!
Wow I've only recently got into doing this exercise and actually hurt my back, I wish I had seen this before although I've had some results I'm far more confident now I've discovered how to do them correctly!!! Sub added respect ❤
This is so so helpful. Thank you so much. I was very frustrated because I could not do this exercise right. Also,I would appreciate a video about cable hip extension. I keep feeling it in my hamstrings. Thank you so much for this.
Troy Nonya's comment makes me so happy!!!! (And I also hope I can have the success he sounds like he has had from watching and learning from this video.)
ive been trying to do this exercise for like 5 months and only now I am finding out how to properly do it... not even kidding I saw stars when I reached failure 😭😭
This was so interesting! I always felt it in lower back and top of the butt. All i did to change what i felt was pretended i had a band on my knees. Instant change to strictly the butt. Awesome video!
love love love the video. I was having pain in my inner knee while glute bridges, i do hold my bridges for 10 minutes with weights on my pelvis and i have osteoarthritis. This helped.
Thanks man, the variations (specially with the resistance band) are really good. I have been doing wrong. Now I feel more pressure in the glutes. Keep doing good work!
Thank you. An educative video focused on one very good exercise. I like this kind of videos about the different executions of a specific movement and the logics behind it. They are informative and truly eye-opening 🙏
Thank you so muchfor showing the proper way to do it !! I thought it wasn't doing anything at all now I know what I was doing wrong lll will be using a band on my legs to bridge from now on !
Dr. Oliver, your presentation on the glute bridge exercise is very informative. But there are two areas in this exercise that push me to ask you for your expert advice: firstly, how is the breathing done; before raising up inhale for the pelvic tilt to go up to the chest, then raise your butts up, and exhale for the pelvic tilt to go down, when you go down Secondly do you need to put a pillow under your head to prevent injury to the neck? Thank you.

Congrats man
thats a long comment
Thanks fir the tip
Holy crap that's awesome - that's it, I'm trying this
Hey Men, how long have you been doing it, and where in u back did it hurt? Left or right low back?
Let's take a minute to appreciate Leon, he's the goat.
Leon talks clearly and explains things nice and easy for everyone to understand. Great communicator
There's a lot of videos here showing you how to do the movement right but almost no one shows you what you have to correct and where do you have to "feel it" and that's really important.
I never feel my glutes when doing a bridge. OMG this is a game changer, thank you so much !!
Happy to help
I was always the same - so glad to see this
Me,too.
Jump to 2:21 if you want to get to the exercises immediately. I really learned a lot from this. I was told to do glute bridges since I was in high school, but I never do them right. This video really helped me!

@@BackIntelligence hi
I salute to this coach's.
I have so much respect for this instructions.
I met an elite physio in my country, he told me to use band while doing this execrice. I didn't ask him why, but today after watching this video I realized the reason.
Thank you. I do the bridge pose every morning but haven't really paid attention as to where i feel the pressure. Glad I saw this video.
how to make sure you feel glute? ive been doing bridge, but not sure wether it was right or not
@@paanazmi8062 you just feel the pressure
it is amazing how just learning the right and wrong ways of doing exercises, can make a huge difference.
and learning where your muscles are and how they feel.
Every single exercise video should talk about where you should feel it. This is amazing content. Thank you!
Genius! I have been trying bridges for a while now but could never figure out how to feel my glutes doing the work. Thank you.
Awesome, Glad our video helped.
Me too
What does it even feel like? Mine felt resistance below the ass so quads right

Wow. This actually helped a lot. I’ve been doing bridges wrong all this time.
Me too 😆
