GLUTES

Dumbbell Hip Thrust

BeginnerDumbbell

The dumbbell hip thrust adds resistance to the standard hip thrust by resting a dumbbell across your hips. It's an accessible way to load the glutes and hamstrings without needing a barbell setup. Good for beginners wanting slightly more challenge from a bodyweight movement.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie face up on the floor with your feet flat and heels about six inches from your glutes.

  2. 2

    Hold a dumbbell by its ends with both hands and position it over your hips.

  3. 3

    Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes and hamstrings to lift your hips.

  4. 4

    Pause when your hips line up with your knees and shoulders.

  5. 5

    Lower your hips slowly back down while keeping tension in your glutes.

  6. 6

    Keep your feet and shoulders planted, and avoid overextending at the top.
