Dumbbell Side Bridge with Bent Leg
Hip raises in a forearm side plank on the bent bottom knee, a dumbbell resting on the top hip for load.
How to do it
Setup
On one forearm, the bottom knee bent under you, the top leg straight, a dumbbell held on the top hip.
Steps
- Lift the hips until the trunk is straight.
- Lower the hips to just above the floor.
- Finish the reps on this side, then switch.
Common mistakes
Letting the bell slide off the hip: hold it pressed in with the top hand. Dropping onto the floor between reps: stop just above it. Chest rolling toward the floor: keep the shoulders stacked.
Breathing
Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
