Single Leg Glute Bridge is a powerful bodyweight exercise that targets your glutes and hamstrings while also challenging your core and hip stability. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Lie on your back with one knee bent and foot flat on the floor. Extend the other leg straight out.
  2. Keep your arms at your sides for balance and engage your core.
  3. Press through the heel of your grounded foot and lift your hips toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top.
  4. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to extended foot.
  5. Lower your hips slowly back to the floor and repeat for the desired number of reps before switching sides.
