Shape Glutes With Marching Bridge Exercise

I know you are always looking for exercises to shape your glutes better. Glute muscles are like any other muscle group. You must consistently train your glute muscles if you want to see improvements in how your butt, hips and thighs look.





Use the marching bridge exercise to shape your glutes and stabilize your core. The marching bridge will also strengthen your lower back. Many people develop low back problems because too little time is spent strengthening the muscles of the lower back.

1. Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and your hands by your sides.

2. Lift your body off the ground into a straight line and brace your torso (like taking a punch to the gut). Don't let your body sag.

3. Lift your right leg, contract your glute and hold for 3 seconds. Lower your leg and do the same with your left leg. That's one repetition. Do 8-10 repetitions.

Other great core exercises that will strengthen your lower back muscles are cobras, stability ball plank, supermans and back extensions.

Don't neglect to strengthen your lower back muscles! You will pay with pain and injuries if you ignore training your lower back!
