Movements
Glute Bridge - Physioball Leg Curl
January 7, 2009
Starting Position
- Lying face up with legs straight and heels on physioball
Procedure
- Contract your glutes to raise your hips, then pull your heels toward your body.
- Do not let your hips drop as the ball comes toward you.
- Extend your legs, then repeat the leg curl for the prescribed number of reps without letting your hips touch the ground.
Coaching Keys
- Initiate the movement by firing your glutes, and keep them contracted at the top of the movement.
- If it is too difficult to balance, spread your arms out to the side.
- Or, to make it more difficult, cross your arms on your chest.
- Do not let your hips drop as knees bend.
You Should Feel It
- In your glutes, hamstrings, and lower back
