Hip Thrusts

A great home exercise for hitting your glutes. Rest your upper back on a swiss ball with your feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your glutes and extend your hips upwards until you form a straight line from shoulder to knee. Hold this position for a few seconds further engaging and squeezing your glutes. Lower your hips back almost to the floor and just before beginning the next rep. Allow your head and neck to relax back onto the ball as you extend your hips up. Loop a mini resistance band around your thighs and adopt a wider stance with your feet to increase the intensity. This move also works on the edge of a sofa or bed.
