Hip thrusts

Again, hip thrusts are a failsafe glutes exercise for a reason. Try these with a barbell to make sure the weight is balanced across your hips and all of your muscles are engaged.

How to do a hip thrust:

Sit in front of a bench, sturdy chair, sofa or box with your legs extended out in front of you and your back leaning against the surface, around your bra strap.
Bend your knees so your feet are flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart. Take a deep breath and brace your core, then press through your heels and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips off of the floor. Keep your stomach drawn in, ribs down and pubic bone pushing towards the sky.
When you reach the top of the move, pause for a second. Then lower your hips back to the ground, keeping your core engaged.
