Instructions
Proper Position
- Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, palms facing down.
- Place your feet on a box or stable bench, with your knees bent at approximately 90°.
- Adjust your position so that your legs are aligned with your hips.
- Engage your core and keep your back straight.
Movement
- Push through your heels on the box to lift your hips toward the ceiling.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement and hold for 1 to 2 seconds.
- Slowly lower your hips back down to the floor without completely releasing the tension.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Breathing
- Inhale as you lower your hips.
- Exhale as you lift your hips.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged to prevent arching your lower back.
- Focus on squeezing your glutes rather than pushing with your lower back.
- Use a stable box to avoid movement or imbalance.
- To increase difficulty, perform the exercise one leg at a time or add weight on your hips.
