Exercise of the Week: Hip Thrusts (October 29, 2008)

By Inshape | October 30, 2008

Hip Thrusts are an excellent floor exercise that works your core, glutes, and hips. Integrate this move into your regular workout several times a week for best results.

1. Lie on your back with your legs bent 90 degrees at the hip.
2. Slowly lift your hips off the floor and towards the ceiling.
3. Lower your hips to the floor and repeat.

Start with 2 sets of 10 reps, and as you get stronger, increase to 3 sets of 15 with a count of 3 at the top of the lift.

Note: to work your inner thighs as well, hold a light-weight ball (soccer, small beach ball, etc) between your knees during the exercise.
