🔥 Built from the Ground Up: Why Squats & Bridges Are in Every Girl on Fire Fitness Workout

At Girl on Fire Fitness, we believe in building strength from the inside out—and that means starting with the basics. Two exercises you'll find in just about every class and personal training session? Squats and bridges. They’re not just popular—they're powerful, and here's why.

🍑 Squats: The Queen of Lower Body Moves

Squats are one of the most functional, total-body moves you can do. Whether you're picking up groceries, standing up from a chair, or chasing after a little one, squatting is part of daily life. So it makes sense to master it!

Benefits of squats:

• 🔥 Strengthens glutes, quads, hamstrings & calves

• 💪 Builds core stability

• 🦵 Improves balance and joint health

• 🏋️ Boosts overall functional strength

We use all kinds of squats at Girl on Fire Fitness—air squats, goblet squats, pulse squats, and even squat combos with presses or jumps. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, we’ll

challenge you right where you are.

🌉 Glute Bridges: Fire Up Your Foundation

The glute bridge may look simple, but it packs a punch! This move helps activate your posterior chain—the back side of your body—which is key for posture, strength, and injury prevention.

Why bridges matter:

• 🍑 Activates and strengthens glutes

• 🧠 Improves mind-muscle connection

• 🧘‍♀️ Reduces lower back pain

• 🏃 Boosts performance in running, squatting & lifting

You'll see bridges in every form—marching bridges, banded bridges, weighted hip thrusts, and more—because strong glutes are everything.

💥 Why They're In Every Workout

We include squats and bridges in every workout because they:

• 🔗 Support proper movement mechanics

• 🧱 Build your strength from the base up

• 🔁 Reinforce stability for your spine, hips, and knees

• 🧡 Help prevent injury while building beautiful strength and curves

These moves work—and when done consistently, they transform your body from the core out.
