Best Injury-Preventing Exercises

Modifying the classic bridge into a single-leg move helps strengthen hips as well as glute muscles.

• Lie on your back, and place your hands on the floor for stability as you bend one leg and lift the other leg off the ground.
• Then, pressing your heel into the floor, lift your pelvis up, keeping your body in a stiff bridge position.
• Slowly lower your body to the floor and repeat. Switch legs to complete one rep.
