How to: Resistance Band One Leg Glute Bridge With Straight Leg
- Start by lying on your back, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
- Place a resistance band around your thighs, just above your knees.
- Lift one leg straight up while keeping your other foot flat on the ground.
- Push through your heel of the grounded leg to lift your hips towards the ceiling, engaging your glutes at the top.
- Hold for a moment, then lower your hips back down without touching the floor. Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the back instead of keeping it flat.
- Not engaging the glutes properly during the lift.
- Letting the supporting foot roll off to the side.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise without a resistance band for less difficulty.
- Lower the range of motion by not lifting as high if experiencing discomfort.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the movement.
- Keep your shoulders and head on the ground to stabilize your position.
- Focus on using your glutes to lift rather than pushing through your foot.
