How to perform Bodyweight Single Leg Glute Bridge Straight Leg with proper form
Starting Position:
- Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
- Extend one leg straight up toward the ceiling while keeping the other bent.
Execution:
- Engage the Core: Tighten your abdominal muscles to stabilize your pelvis.
- Lift the Hips: Push through the heel of the bent leg to raise your hips off the ground.
- Alignment: Ensure your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your extended leg.
- Hold the Position: Squeeze your glutes at the top and hold for a moment.
- 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.
