BANDED BRIDGE MARCH

This is both a hip extensor and hip flexor strengthening exercise. This exercise will also challenge core stability and endurance as well. Start by looping a mini band around your feet. Keep the feet hip distance apart while lying down on your back. Lift your pelvis off of the floor while maintaining a neutral spine. Hold the hip extension while raising one leg off of the ground into hip flexion. Hold for up to 2 seconds and slowly lower the leg then alternate sides while maintaining the bridge.
