Wide Glute Pulse Bridge

GlutesBody WeightIntermediate

Perform the Wide Glute Pulse Bridge to target your glutes effectively. This exercise enhances glute activation and stability.

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
  2. Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top.
  3. Pulse your hips up and down slightly while maintaining the bridge position.
  4. Lower your hips back to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the Wide Glute Pulse Bridge

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Wide Glute Pulse 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.
