Glute Bridges
Glute bridges strengthen your core muscles, hip joints, and spine.

Step 1: Lie on your back on a supportive surface with your legs extended and arms by your sides.
Step 2: Bend your knees and bring both feet up until the bottom of your feet are flat on the floor. Keep your knees close together and lift your bottom until your upper legs are in a straight line with your trunk. Keep your back straight, and don’t overextend the movement. Visualize a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Hold for three seconds before lowering back down.
Step 3: This counts as one set. Try to perform three sets of 20 repetitions.

Depending on your lower back involvement, this exercise can be particularly challenging, but you can modify it as needed.
