How to perform Bodyweight Single Leg Glute Bridge Straight Leg with proper form

Starting Position:

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
  2. Extend one leg straight up toward the ceiling while keeping the other bent.

Execution:

  1. Engage the Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your pelvis.
  2. Lift the Hips: Push through the heel of the bent leg to raise your hips off the ground.
  3. Alignment: Ensure your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your extended leg.
  4. Hold the Position: Squeeze your glutes at the top and hold for a moment.
  5. Lower Down: Slowly return to the starting position by lowering your hips back to the ground.

Tips:

  • Keep your shoulders on the floor throughout the movement.
  • Avoid arching your back; maintain a neutral spine.
  • Focus on using your glutes to lift, not your lower back or hamstrings.
  • Alternate legs after completing the desired number of repetitions.
