Build a Butt Women Will Want to Grab With This One Simple Exercise

The barbell hip thrust is the single best exercise for activating your glutes, according to Dr Bret Contreras a sports biomechanist known in the fitness industry as the “Glute Guy”.

But if you don’t have access to a barbell, you can mimic the resistance with a continuously looped resistance band, says Men’s Health Fitness Director BJ Gaddour. Toss a band in your gym bag or stash one in your living room for a killer glutes exercise you can do anytime, anywhere.

Watch the video above to see how to set up the band to create maximum tension throughout the hip thrust, which is also known as a glute bridge.

“You can plug this movement into a circuit or just use it as a finisher. Try doing five minutes of as many reps as you can to finish off your workout,” Gaddour says.
