How to do it
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat, then lift your hips into a glute bridge. Holding the bridge position, take small steps to walk your feet out away from you and back in, keeping your hips high the whole time.
- 1Keep your hips lifted and feel your glutes fire to hold the bridge
- 2Stay tall through the hips as you step the feet out and in
- 3Brace your core so your pelvis stays level the whole time
Common mistakes
- Don't let your hips drop as you walk the feet
- Avoid arching your lower back to hold the height
- Don't let your knees fall inward or outward as you step
