Equipment
Place a dumbbell on your hips, holding it with both hands to secure it in place.
Push through your heels to lift your hips off the ground, while keeping your back straight, until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement and hold this position for a few seconds.
Lower your hips back down to the starting position, ensuring the dumbbell remains secure throughout the movement. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps.
Pro Tip
Avoid Arching Your Back: A common mistake that people often make when performing this exercise is arching their back. This can lead to lower back pain and injury. Instead, keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Push through your heels to lift your hips off the ground, and squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement. Control Your Movement: Another mistake to avoid is rushing through the movement. Instead, aim for slow, controlled movements. Lower your hips back down to the ground slowly, rather than letting them drop quickly. This will engage your muscles more effectively and
