Single Leg Bridge

The Single Leg Bridge is the 4th exercise in the Bridge Progression Series. This exercise helps you isolate the glute on one side, this is good because it helps develop single leg hip stability. In doing this often times you will find a relief from low back pain.

When beginning start slow go through small movements until you have full range of motion. Do not arch the back and do not let the hip fall on the side with the leg up. I try to keep my thighs as close to parallel as possible.

Try to do 1 or 2 sets of about 10 reps on both sides. As you progress you can add in the 3rd set or you can do them for time. Try to do about a minute on each side. Good Luck! In the next post I will show you the Medicine Ball Bridge.

Stay Motivated,
