What Are Hip Thrusts and Their Benefits?
Hip thrusts are a form of glute exercise that helps extend the hip or pull the leg behind the body. Typically performed using a hip thrust machine, this exercise strengthens the hip, buttocks, and quadriceps muscles. It also builds stronger glutes, improves balance, and helps stabilize the pelvis, lower back, and knees.
