Bridge Hip Abduction
Hold a floor glute bridge and let the knees open out to the sides, then draw them back together; the glutes hold the bridge, the inner thighs close the knees.
How to do it
Setup
On your back in a glute bridge, feet close together, arms long on the floor.
Steps
- Lift the hips into the bridge and hold them there.
- Let the knees open slowly out to the sides.
- Squeeze them back together without the hips sinking.
Common mistakes
Hips dropping as the knees open: the bridge stays up the whole set. Knees flopping open: lower them under control. Feet rolling onto their edges: keep the soles flat.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
