If you want to show your core some TLC, including the bridge should be part of your workout. It’s easy to do just about anywhere by lying on your back with bent knees and lifting your hips. Your body will be straight from your knees to your shoulders.

The glute bridge targets your deep abdominal muscles, pelvis, hips, lower back, glutes, and hamstrings. And as you progress with this exercise, you can add weights to bring your workout up a notch. There are even more advanced variations to consider in time, including single-leg glute bridges and the glute bridge march.

Now that you’re aware of how beneficial bridging can be, we’re here with a test. According to Bridget Moroney, Head Coach at EGYM Fitness in Denver, Colorado, if you can hold a bridge pose this long after 65, your core strength is top-tier.
