THE GLUTE BRIDGE TEST

Where should you feel a glute bridge?

A glute bridge takes sixty seconds on the floor — and where you feel it tells you which muscle has been covering the shift.

  1. 01Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat, arms at your sides.
  2. 02Push through your heels and lift until you're straight from knees to shoulders.
  3. 03Hold thirty seconds. Notice where the effort actually sits.

So, where did you feel it?

Tap where you felt it. One test is not a diagnosis — it is a torch in a dark room.

If anything feels sharp while you try it, stop — and see a professional before starting any program.

HAMSTRINGS CRAMPING

Your hamstrings are covering a shift that was never theirs. They will keep tightening until something else takes it.

If anything feels sharp while you try it, stop — and see a professional before starting any program.

FRONT OF MY THIGHS

The front of the leg is bracing for the back. Classic desk pattern, and it is fixable.

LOWER BACK GRIPPING

Your lower back is carrying the whole roof. That is exactly what the first two weeks are for.

If anything feels sharp while you try it, stop — and see a professional before starting any program.
