Instructions
1. Begin by lying flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Extend one leg out in front.
2. Hold a dumbbell with both hands and place it on your pelvis for added resistance.
3. Push through the heel of your bent leg to raise your hips off the ground. Extend your hips upward as far as possible, squeezing your glutes tightly at the top of the movement.
4. Pause at the top, then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position without touching the floor.
5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps before switching to the other leg.
Make sure to keep your movements controlled, especially when raising and lowering your hips. Engage your core throughout to help with stability.
