Among its advantages are the following:

• The lifting of the pelvis perfectly loads the gluteus maximus, further working out the hamstrings (muscles of the posterior surface).
• To perform the exercise you will need a barbell or pancakes and benches.
• Raising the pelvis from the prone position is one of the safest exercises for working the buttocks. It can be safely performed by people who do not have significant physical training, as well as adolescents, children and even pregnant women. In the latter case, the intensity of the load should be reduced by reducing the number of repetitions. It is also recommended that you carefully monitor your condition, and if you experience any discomfort, stop the exercises immediately.

It should be noted that the gluteal bridge (the barbell hip-thrust) refers to the insulating exercises. For this reason, it is advisable to perform it in a complex training of the lower body or combine it with aerobic exercise (if your goal is fat burning).
