Instructions
1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
2. Extend one leg out straight. Your thighs should be parallel to each other.
3. Pressing through the heel of the foot that's on the ground, lift your hips upwards, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your knees of the planted leg.
4. Ensure your core is engaged and your hips are square to prevent them from dropping to one side.
5. Hold the position at the top briefly before slowly lowering your hips back down to the ground.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching legs.
Always perform the exercise with controlled movements, and if balancing is too difficult initially, you may practice regular bridges with both feet on the ground to build strength and stability before progressing to single-leg bridges.
