Exercise Profile

Single Leg Hip Bridge Foot On Knee Overview

The single leg hip bridge with the foot on the knee is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the glutes.

By lifting one leg off the ground and placing the foot on the opposite knee, the exercise increases the load on the glutes.

This workout engages the glutes by using the bodyweight as resistance, without overstating its effect on auxiliary muscles.

It is an effective exercise for strengthening and toning the glutes, helping to improve overall lower body strength and stability.

Single Leg Hip Bridge Foot On Knee Tips

  1. Position yourself on the floor with your back flat, knees bent, and feet hip-width apart. Extend one leg straight out, placing the foot on the opposite knee. This is your starting position.
  2. Engage your core by drawing your belly button in towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body throughout the exercise.
