How to perform Bodyweight Glute Bridge March with proper form

Starting Position:

  1. Lie on your back on a mat or flat surface.
  2. Bend your knees, placing your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
  3. Arms rest at your sides or can be placed on your lower abdomen for added engagement.

Execution:

  1. Lift your hips off the ground into a bridge position by pressing your heels into the floor.
  2. Engage your glutes and core to maintain stability.
  3. From the bridge position, lift your right leg off the ground, bringing your knee toward your chest without dropping your hips.
  4. Lower the right leg back down to the starting position while maintaining the bridge.
  5. Repeat with the left leg, lifting it towards your chest and lowering back down.
  6. Continue alternating legs in a controlled manner, ensuring your hips remain lifted and stable throughout.

Tips for Proper Form:

  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and pressed into the ground.
  • Avoid arching your back; keep a neutral spine throughout the movement.
  • Focus on squeezing your glutes as you lift and lower each leg.
  • Move slowly to maintain balance and engage the correct muscles.

Common Mistakes:

  • Letting the hips sag; ensure they stay elevated.
  • Moving too quickly, which reduces the effectiveness.
  • Overarching the lower back; maintain a neutral spine.

By following these guidelines, you can perform the Bodyweight Glute Bridge March effectively and safely.
