How to do hip thrust exercise

Doing the hip thrust exercise is one of the easiest things you can achieve easily at home. Here we guide you how to do hip thrust exercise. You need to lean against a bench or any other support which would make you relax and not pressurize the body.

Avoid keeping any weight on the neck, which most of them do to maintain the neck straight.

Rep as much as you can, without giving any extra pressure on the body. Know about the rep range and interval.

Generally, you are suggested to perform sets of 6-12 sets which mean resting only for 1-3 minutes and so on. During the warm up session, usually you should rest for 1 minute, and then go for 2-3 minutes rest between the addiction sets. However, this is something which you should follow to understand the rep range and rep intervals to be taken in between.
