The single-leg bridge hold exercise is excellent for isolating and strengthening the buttocks and hamstrings. If you practice this exercise correctly, it can also be a highly effective core strengthening exercise.
Single-Leg Glute Bridge Hold Instructions:
- Begin in the same posture as you would for a regular glute bridge, but this time raise one leg off the ground toward the ceiling.
- Squeeze your abs and glutes and drive your hips into the air, making sure they don’t fall to one side.
- Return to the starting position after a brief pause at the top.
- Repeat for as many sets as desired.
