Instructions

1. Begin by lying flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Place your arms flat on the ground beside you for stability.

2. Press your feet into the floor, tighten your abdominal and buttock muscles, and raise your hips off the ground to form a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.

3. Make sure your core is engaged and your hips are lifted, but avoid overextending your lower back. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.

For a more advanced variation, as shown in the last two images:

1. Once in the raised bridge position, lift one leg off the ground and straighten it, keeping your thighs parallel. The elevated leg should be straight with the toes pointing upwards.

2. Hold this position, ensuring your hips remain level and raised, without dipping to one side.

3. Lower your leg back to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg.

Ensure the movements are controlled and focus on maintaining balance and stability throughout the exercise. Perform for the desired number of repetitions or hold each lift for a specific duration before lowering your hips back to the ground.
