Is it OK to do glute bridges in bed?

Yes, it is okay to do glute bridges on the bed. Yet, making it the only place to work out is not the best idea. If you wear comfy sports gear and lay a mat on the floor, you can exercise more effectively, adding more moves to your training.

What weight should I start for glute bridges?

You can do glute bridges with just your body weight. Perfecting form is always more important than the weight you use. Once you have perfect form, try the exercise with 1 dumbbell of 3-5 kilograms. The weight of your dumbbell should be heavy enough to perform 10-15 reps, leaving the last ones a challenge. If you want to work with more weight, switching to hip thrusts is better for adding external weight loads.

Where should I feel glute bridges?

You should feel your glute bridges in your glute area, hips, and your hamstrings. You should also feel your core to engage it throughout the exercise.

Why don't I feel anything with the glute bridges?

Ensure you perform the exercise correctly: your knees don’t fall together on the lift and your feet should not be too far or close to your glutes. Focusing on squeezing your glutes at the top of this movement can provide that extra stimulus and muscle burn. Additionally, if you are not feeling anything from this exercise, it might be time to add an external load. This will help you progress and lead to muscle strength and mass gain . Add in that external weight and push for a few more reps eventually you will gain strength and could minimize that daily back pain.
