Abominal Hip Thrust Instructions
- Grab a flat bench and lay down on your back with your feet hanging off one end.
- Grasp the bench above your head.
- Keeping your feet and knees together, bring your legs up until they're pointing straight up towards the ceiling. This is the start of the exercise.
- Thrust your hips up off the bench by lifting your buttocks up.
- Slowly lower back down. Repeat for desired reps.
Hip Thrust Tips:
- Pause at the top of the movement for added intensity.

What're the alternatives? I look weird doing this at the gym.
The above is an abdominal hip thrust, it is NOT a barbell hip thrust. This is is a barbell hip thrust: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/barbell-hip-thrust
That's correct, that's why it's not called a barbell hip thrust and instead is called an abdominal hip thrust.
Sorry wasn't clear...got to the above move from the below workout link, there it is under the "Legs B" day where it is called a barbell hip thrust but links to this page...

Robin,
Sorry about that. That was a linking error which occurred during the editing process of that piece. I've unlinked it as it was obviously incorrect and it should be fixed now.
I would suggest to make this exercise more even intense would be to simply add leg weights according to your fitness level, add pausing at the top of the movement and you've got a bit more of a challenge.
What's a Barbell Hip thrust? Can't see how to add a barbell.
You just grab the barbell over your head if you're doing it on a flat bench as to maintain your stability, and it doesn't mean you carry a barbell.
