Commentary

The glute bridge is a great exercise to activate the glutes. It can serve as a warmup or activation exercise, or be incorporated into your workout. You can make it more challenging by putting a band around your knees or adding a weight on your hips, or by using only one leg (one-legged glute bridge).
