Transcript – Single Let Bridge
Dr. Riley:
This drill is called single leg bridge. This is a bridge progression. We typically want to start just with a simple bridge and we can progress to the single leg bridge. So Brie is in a hook position here, she’s going to be on her back. She’s going to fire from her glutes bringing her pelvis straight up. We want to fire through the glutes, leave the hamstring alone, we’re going to have her straighten her leg to about 45 degrees. So obviously, what we’re doing is we’re going to challenge this left glute with that right leg extended, we’re going to hold it for a four to five count, relax and down, okay? And she’s going to come up again. We’re going to go with the left. Once again, she’s now challenging that right glute. She’s really having to work hard to stabilize four to five seconds and down, okay? So remember when you’re doing this drill, really work throughout your glutes to extend your hips, try not to get overactive in your hamstrings. This is single leg bridge.
