How to Perform
  1. 1

    Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat, then lift your hips into a bridge.

  2. 2

    Brace your core and hold the top position.

  3. 3

    Lift one knee toward your chest without letting that hip drop.

  4. 4

    Place the foot back down and repeat with the other leg.

Tips
  • Watch the hips: any dip when the foot leaves the floor means that side is not holding.
  • Slow marches are far harder than fast ones - pause at the top of each lift.
