Exercise Profile

Aerobic Step Hip Bridge Overview

The aerobic step hip bridge workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the glute muscles.

By using the aerobic step, the workout adds an extra challenge to the traditional hip bridge exercise.

The elevated height of the step increases the range of motion, intensifying the activation of the glutes.

While the workout may also engage the hamstrings and core, its main focus is on strengthening and toning the glutes.

Aerobic Step Hip Bridge Instructions

  1. Place an aerobic step on the floor and lie down on your back in front of it.
  2. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the step, hip-width apart.
  3. Engage your core muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine.
  4. Press through your heels and lift your hips off the floor, forming a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.
  5. Squeeze your glutes (buttocks muscles) at the top of the movement to engage them.
  6. Lower your hips back down to the floor in a controlled manner.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Aerobic Step Hip Bridge Tips

  1. Position yourself on the aerobic step by lying flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the step, hip-width apart. Ensure your heels are close to your glutes, and your arms are relaxed by your sides.
  2. Engage your core muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine, and press your feet firmly into the step. As you exhale, lift your hips off the ground, focusing on squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement. Visualize your glutes doing the work, as if they are the primary muscles driving the motion.
  3. Keep your knees in line with your toes and avoid letting them cave inwards. Maintain a straight line from your knees to your shoulders throughout the exercise. This will help you activate your glutes effectively and prevent unnecessary strain on your knees.
  4. At the top of the bridge, pause for a moment, and then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position, inhaling as you do so. Focus on maintaining control and feeling the stretch in your glutes as you lower your hips.
  5. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, aiming for a smooth and controlled movement. As you progress, you can increase the challenge by adding resistance, such as a resistance band placed just above your knees, to further engage your glutes and enhance your form.</
