Single Leg Hip Extension aka Glute Bridge: This exercise focuses on the glutes and hamstrings. Start by lying on the floor with one knee bent and foot flat on the floor. Extend the opposite leg straight up toward the ceiling. This is the starting position. Begin by pushing your body-weight up with the heel of your planted foot to raise your hips upward until your torso, hips and quads are aligned (exhale through this part of the movement). Hold this position for one count. Now begin to slowly lower your hips back to the start position until they slightly contact the floor (inhale through this part of the movement). Repeat for multiple repetitions and then switch to the opposite leg and complete the same number of repetitions to complete one full set. Rest and repeat for multiple sets as you progress. If you need help with this exercise please speak with one of our certified personal trainers.
