Dumbbell Glute Bridge

Description
This exercise involves lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, while holding a dumbbell on your hips. You then lift your hips up towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top, before lowering back down to the starting position. This exercise targets the glutes and can be made more challenging by increasing the weight of the dumbbell.
