Glute bridges are probably one of the most popular and well-known booty exercises there are - both for its effectiveness as well as its simplicity. Glute bridges can be done any time, anywhere. This variation requires you to get a little more creative, but it will certainly take the beginner exercise up a notch!

Use your couch, the bottom steps of a staircase, a chair, an ottoman - anything that's 1-2 feet tall! Just don't do what I did: if the object is not attached to the floor, put it against a wall so it doesn't slip away from you or tip over ;)

This can be done with both feet on the step, or (as demonstrated) with 1 leg reaching to the ceiling. The single leg option will target each glute individually and is more challenging for your core.

Notes on form:
- Feet should be 1-2 feet off the floor.
- Arms run down sides and press into the floor.
- Shoulders pull down away from ears and press back into floor.
- Keep belly pulled in tight for entire movement.
- Squeeze glutes as tight as possible at the top of the movement.
For single leg option:
- Maintain a balance in your hips by keeping your core pulled tight. Don't let the hip of your lifted leg sink closer to the floor than the other.

Perform 10-20 reps on each side for 3-5 sets.
