Staggered Leg Glute Bridge

Perform a staggered leg glute bridge to strengthen your glutes and hamstrings.

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Place one foot flat on the ground and extend the other leg straight.
  3. Push through the heel of the grounded foot to lift your hips towards the ceiling.
  4. Hold at the top for a moment, then lower back down.

How to perform the Staggered Leg Glute Bridge

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Staggered Leg Glute Bridge using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
