should the feet be together or should there be space between the feet when you start out, just when you do in normal hip bridge?

[machupichu]

very helpful, my hamstrings cramp though? will it go away with practice?

I'm taking all your advice into account, but I feel the exercise in my quads, not my glutes. For some reason, I feel regular two-legged glute bridges in my glutes, but I feel single leg glute bridges only in my quads. Can it be fixed?

What is the advantage or point of doing the Single leg bridge versus keeping both feet on the floor the whole time??

I cannot do lunges. This was listed on google as a replacement? I do the lunges in place with dumbells, but I am too off balance for it. I think I can manage these. My question also is if they work all the same muscles. From what I was told, lunges work glutes, hammies, quads, and calves. Is that correct? Thank you for any help.

It’s actually the pubic bones that should be lifting straight up. You’re not supposed to think about the pelvis coming up. It’s the pubic bones. That’s how to do these exercise correctly and of course the glutes and all the rest come to play, but you shouldn’t be thinking about the pelvis..

Please stop videos with the WRONG way. That’s not how people learn. Tell us the Right way FIRST. I get that you’re annoyed with people who do it wrong.
