How to do it
Lie on your back with one heel in a TRX cradle and a towel under the hips. Bridge the hips up, then curl that single heel toward your glute and extend it back out under control. Keep the opposite leg lifted throughout.
- 1The working hamstring contracting hard to curl the heel in
- 2The glute on the working side driving the hip up and holding it
- 3Level, square hips through every rep
Common mistakes
- Letting the hips drop or rotate toward the free leg
- Using momentum to swing the heel in
- Resting the free foot on the floor for support
