One legged bridge on Sun exercise is a great move to focus on strengthening your butt muscle groups. The reason it works so effectively is because you have to recruit extra muscle fibers in your butt to maintain your position on the stability ball.

How to do a One Legged Bridge:

Lay on the ground face up with your heels resting on a stability ball. Lift your butt off the ground while simultaneously rolling the ball toward you when you’re arched as far as you can lift one leg into the air. Hold this position as long as you can. Your knee will be straight and you can even point your toe toward the wall.

Muscle group worked:

the primary muscle group that this exercise strengthens is your glute.

Target Repetitions for Muscle Strength: 30-60 seconds

Why a One Legged Bridge works:

The reason this exercise tightens your butt so well is again because it recruits more muscle fibers to stabilize your body.

Tips: With any exercise that requires a great amount of balance it is important to maintain tremendous focus. It also helps to tie in the muscle that you are working even more than is required by the exercise. Try it with this move.

Important!: Breathe in and out slowly throughout this exercise.

 

Disclaimer: Talk to your primary care physician before beginning any exercise regimen.

About Todd Kuslikis

Todd Kuslikis is a trainer that lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There are many fitness sites online but many of them claim that the only way you can get bigger and stronger is through lifting weights. Todd whole-heartedly disagrees with this and believes that body weight exercises can be just as, if not, more effective than weights for building strength.

Hi, I’m Todd!

Welcome! The purpose of A Shot of Adrenaline is twofold. The first is physical. I am extremely passionate about body weight exercises and helping others transform their bodies with body weight routines. Here at SOA, I write articles and publish videos with the goal of helping you do that.

If you have a specific or personal question I am happy to help. I read and answer every email I receive. Feel free to contact me here: todd@ashotofadrenaline.net.

The second purpose is to share my personal story. By the time I was 13 I had developed an insatiable desire to understand why we are here. After over a decade of spending endless hours in zen meditation and traversing the plains of Atheism, Buddhism, Baha'i, New Age and Shamanism, I was brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6

This site is a public proclamation of my faith in Him that saves. If this offends you, I welcome you to read my story and learn about the experience that brought me to Jesus.

-Todd
