Core Exercise: Lying Glute Bridge

Exercise: Lying Glute Bridge
Equipment: No equipment
Movement Type: Core
Body Focus: Core, Lower Body

Lie on your back, knees bent at a right-angle, heels resting on a step or flat on the floor. Keep your arms by your side or stretched out by your side for balance, palms down. Slowly lift your butt off the floor, until your body forms a straight line.
Pause at the top and squeeze, contract your glutes, then lower yourself back until your butt is about 2cm from the floor, then repeat.
As you become stronger and the movement becomes comfortable, progress to single leg extensions. Straighten one leg at a time whilst bracing the hips with the other.
