Kneeling Hip Thrust: how to do it and form tips

A hip extension movement performed from a kneeling position that isolates glute activation without requiring a bench or barbell, making it an effective bodyweight glute exercise anywhere.

Form tips

  1. Start kneeling upright and drive your hips forward into full extension, leaning back slightly at the top.
  2. Squeeze your glutes as hard as possible at the top for a full second before returning to start.
  3. Place a folded mat under your knees for comfort during longer sets.
