A 1-minute core-and-glute pair that strengthens the muscles responsible for pelvic stability – the base of upright posture.

Glute bridges lift the hips while squeezing the glutes – the muscles that should be doing more work than they usually do. Dead bugs then flip you onto your back to coordinate opposite arm and leg while keeping the lower back pressed down. Neither is flashy, but both are quietly demanding.

A stable pelvis sits at the foundation of upright posture: weak glutes and a slack deep core let the pelvis tilt and the spine sag above it. Strengthening both together is a reliable intervention for chronic posture-related discomfort.
