Core Slider Glute Bridge with Hamstring Curl Overview
The core slider glute bridge with a hamstring curl is a great way to work your glutes and hamstrings. It's a fantastic way to work your glutes and keep pain and strain at bay. It's also a wonderful way to strengthen them so you can lift more and run faster.
How to Do
- Start by lying on your back with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent. Place a core slider under each foot.
- Hoist your hips off the ground, until you are resting on your upper back all the while pressing down into the sliders
- While maintaining this elevated posture bend your knees to bring the core sliders towards you, feeling the tension in your hamstrings
- Inhale and extend your feet before lowering down to the starting position
- Repeat for the specified reps or time
Exercise Tips
- Make sure to keep your core engaged throughout the entire movement.
- Keep your hips level, and do not allow them to sag or rotate during the exercise.
- Use a slow and controlled motion, and focus on squeezing your glutes and hamstrings throughout the range of motion.
