How to: Single Leg Glute Bridge with Knee to Chest
- Lie on your back with one leg flat on the ground and the other leg bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Push through your heel on the ground to lift your hips off the floor, achieving a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
- As you lift, draw the bent knee towards your chest.
- Hold for a second at the top, then lower your hips back to the starting position while extending the knee back out.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on each leg.
