How to do the Resistance-Band Single-Leg Glute Bridge
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place a resistance band just above your knees.
Press your arms into the floor alongside your body for stability.
Extend one leg out in front of you, keeping the foot flexed.
Push through the heel of your stationary foot, lifting your hips off the ground while extending your raised leg toward the ceiling. The resistance band will add tension, forcing your glutes and hamstring to work harder.
Squeeze your glutes at the top, ensuring that your hips are lifted to a bridge position and your body forms a straight line from the shoulders to the knee of the working leg.
Hold the position for a second and then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
Complete the desired number of repetitions for one leg before switching to the other leg.
