Straight Leg Hip Bridge

Coaching cues

• Lie supine with legs straight hip-width apart, heels on the floor and toes pointed up.
• Brace the core and lightly posteriorly tilt the pelvis; keep knees extended without locking out.
• Press the heels into the floor and squeeze the hamstrings and glutes to lift the hips.
• Raise until your shoulders, hips, and ankles align; keep ribs down and neck neutral.
• Pause 1–2 seconds while maintaining straight legs and level hips.
• Lower the hips slowly to the floor without arching the lower back.
• Exhale on the lift, inhale on the descent, and repeat for reps.
