Marching Bridges
Bridges are a great way to give some focused attention to your glutes and the hamstrings (back of the upper leg). Doing them correctly are also a great core-strengthening exercise. Marching bridges take these move up to the next level!
- Lie down on your back, arms at your side, and knees bent up with your toes touching the wall.
- Tighten your abs (squeeze core and try to pull your belly button toward your spine) and slowly walk your feet up the wall, lifting only your hips off the floor.
- March your legs in toward your chest (keep one foot on the wall at all times). Engage your glute and ab muscles to keep your hips high.
Foot-Up Split Lunge
There’s the lunge and then there’s the foot-up lunge! Guess which one will work you harder? Picking up your foot will add plenty of thigh-toning intensity and will target the muscles in your legs and core.
- Stand with your back against the wall and take one large step forward.
- Lift your back leg and place your toes against the wall. Square your hips to the front and lean your body forward slightly.
- Slowly bent your front knee to 90 degrees, with your knee aligned over your ankle, and press back up to straight.
- Switch legs and repeat.
