Hip thrusts are a form of glute exercise designed to extend the hip or pull the leg behind the body. It is performed using a hip thrust machine, with the body lifted off the floor and a barbell balanced across the hip.
In the most widely used technique, also practised by Khushi in the clip, one has to balance themselves on a hip thrust machine while holding a barbell on their hips. Once in position, squeeze the glutes, keep the core tight, and press the bar straight up until the hips align with the shoulders and knees. Then, slowly lower the bar until the hips are just a few inches off the floor.
Hip thrusts strengthen the muscles in the hip, buttocks, and quadriceps. The exercise also builds stronger glutes, boosts balance, and helps stabilise the pelvis, lower back, and knees. Meanwhile, weight training increases muscle strength and cardiovascular health, improves bone density, reduces body fat, stabilises joints, and improves sleep quality.
Khushi Kapoor is Boney Kapoor and late actor Sridevi’s youngest daughter. Janhvi Kapoor is her eldest sister. Khushi debuted with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, starring Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, Agastya Nanda, Dot, Mihir Ahuja, and Yuvraj Menda.
