Single Leg Glute Bridge
Add this exercise to your warm-up to wake up your posterior chain and get your glutes firing. We live such an anterior-driven life, that leaves the glutes underutilized throughout many movements. This can lead to injuries, such as knee and lower back pain. If we add in priming exercises such as this one to our warm-up, it will be easier to activate your glutes properly in your compound lifts.
This exercise not only isolates the glutes, but also strengthens the hamstrings and core.
