The 60-Second Glute Bridge Benchmark: What It Says About Core Strength After 55
After age 55, aiming to hold a glute bridge for 30–60 seconds is a solid marker of glute and trunk endurance; surpassing 60 seconds signals excellent muscular endurance and hip stability. Younger adults average about 60–100 seconds, but targets should be adjusted for aging with emphasis on form and progressive overload rather than chasing a specific number. The bridge is an isometric anti-extension move that stabilizes the pelvis and spine, supporting everyday tasks like standing from a chair and climbing stairs.
