Single Leg Bridge Lie on your back with knees bent and your feet hip distance apart. Place your feet close enough so they can be touched by the finger tips. Pull your right knee all the way to your chest and use your left foot to push your hips into the air. Avoid arching your back and instead try to feel your glutes (buttocks) lifting you up. Hold hips in the air for 5 seconds. Perform for 10 reps and then switch legs. This is a good exercise to loosen up in the morning. EXERC I SE ESSENT I ALS START STRENGTHENING YOUR HIPS
