Hamstring bridge with heels (Strength)

What you should feel?? When performed correctly, you will feel the muscles in the back of your leg, glutes and lower back working.

• Laying on your back with your knees bent and just your heels on the ground
• Push your heels into the ground to lift your buttocks off the floor as high as possible
• Squeeze your buttocks at the top and return back to the floor at a controlled pace
• Repeat until finished the set

• Hamstrings
• Glutes

A hamstring bridge is a great way to strengthen the hamstrings without gym equipment. You will be strengthening two of the most important but often neglected muscles in the lower body. This exercise is a safe and controlled exercise that can lead to even more functional exercises down the track. Using your heels instead of feet flat can help to encourage more hamstring activity than usual.
