Hip thrusts are highly recommended because of their efficacy in boosting strength, building muscle mass, and improving stability since it forces you to go through a wide range of motion. And with hip thrusts, you can work your way up to heavier and heavier weights once you slowly develop a stronger core.

Glute bridges

Glute bridges have similarities with hip thrusts, particularly in terms of benefits, but are different in terms of set-up since you have to perform the former on the floor. If you’re a beginner, you can consider glute bridges as the easier version of hip thrusts as you work your way up to more weights and wider ranges of motion.
