SINGLE LEG ECCENTRIC HIP BRIDGE | SINGLE LEG ECCENTRIC GLUTE BRIDGE
This is a single leg hip extension strengthening exercise. Lie down on your back and bend both knees to 90 degrees. Lift the pelvis off of the ground using both feet then raise the non-target leg off the ground into 90 degrees hip flexion. Keep the target leg’s heel planted and drive it downwards as you lower the pelvis to the ground at a 5-10 second tempo. Keep the spine neutral by bracing the core prior to lifting up the pelvis.
