Glute Raises Technique Instructions
 |
Technique - Start by laying down on the floor in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Place your hands to the side in a diagonal direction to provide support throughout the exercise. Exhale as you press the balls of your feet into the floor and raise your mid section up as far as possible. Squeeze you glute's together at the top of this motion and hold the position for a count of 1. Inhale as you lower your mid section down in a slow, controlled manner not allowing your glute's to touch the floor before starting the next rep. This technique will maintain pressure on the muscles being used and increase the overall benefits of the exercise. |
