How To Perform Glute Bridges With Leg Extensions

There are many variations to the classic Glute Bridge exercise, and this is a great one, especially for runners. This exercise can help to manage low back pain, improve single leg strength and hip stability.

Level/Difficulty: Beginner to Advanced

 
 

Coaching Cues:
Core engaged, lift hips into bridge, press foot down in order to extend the other leg

Before starting:

Be sure to keep your core engaged to maintain a steady pelvis and neutral spine.

  1. Lay on your back with both knees bent. Engage your core

  2. Press both feet into the floor to lift your hips high off the floor.

  3. Press one foot hard into the floor in order to straighten the opposite leg

  4. Hold for 2 seconds. Return that leg to the starting position, and repeat these steps on the other leg. Alternate.
