Dumbbell Single Leg Bridge

Lie your shoulders on a bench with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell on your hip. Lift one foot off the ground and extend it straight out, keeping your thighs parallel. Engage your core and press through the heel of your grounded foot to lift your hips toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement. Ensure your hips remain level and do not rotate. Exhale as you lift, keeping the dumbbell steady on your hip. Inhale as you slowly lower your hips back down without letting them touch the ground, maintaining tension in your glutes and core. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other leg.
