Banded Hip Thrusts

Like the bridges, you'll get the most out of this exercise by engageing your glutes at the top of the move. Bailey called hip thrusts the "holy grail of glute exercises" because of how effectively they work your booty.

  • Sitting on the floor with bent knees and a booty band around the bottom of your thighs, rest your upper back against a stable bench.
  • Brace your core. As you drive your heels into the ground, squeeze your glutes, lifting your hips up to full extension, meaning your hips are even with your knees.
  • With control, lower back down to the ground. This is one rep.
  • Bailey said to do 15 to 20 reps.
