How to Perform

  1. 1

    Lie on back, knees bent, feet flat on slippery surface (sliders/towels).

  2. 2

    Lift hips into glute bridge.

  3. 3

    Focus on lowering phase: Slowly slide feet forward by straightening knees, resisting movement with hamstrings.

  4. 4

    Maintain hip height as long as possible.

  5. 5

    Lower hips to floor once legs are nearly straight.

  6. 6

    Use arms or bend knees to return feet to start (minimize hamstring effort on return).

  7. 7

    Lift back into bridge and repeat eccentric slide.
