Instructions

1. Begin by lying flat on your back on a mat or comfortable surface with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

2. Extend one leg so that the heel is on the floor and the toes are pointing upwards, while the other foot remains flat.

3. Push through the heel of the flat foot and drive your hips upward, contracting your glutes and keeping your extended leg straight.

4. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to the knee of the extended leg.

5. Hold the bridge position for a moment, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.

6. Slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position without touching the floor to maintain tension.

7. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one leg before switching to the other leg.

Cautions: Keep your movements controlled throughout the exercise. Do not overextend or hyperextend your lower back at the top of the movement. Engage your core to maintain stability and protect your spine.
