Instructions for Proper Form
Hip Lift March is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets your glutes and core. This exercise involves lifting your hips off the ground and alternating marching motions with your legs. The movement adds instability, increasing core engagement and promoting better muscle activation. It's a great addition for improving stability, strength, and coordination in the lower body.
- Lay on your back with your feet planted onto the ground and knees pointed towards the ceiling or sky.
- Place your arms to the side on the ground.
- Brace your core and lift your hips off the ground until your knees and shoulders are in a straight line, maintain this position throughout the exercise by activating your glutes and hamstrings.
- Bring one knee up until your hips and knee both form a 90-degree angle.
- Maintain the orientation of the leg and bring it back to the ground at a normal pace.
- Repeat movement on the other leg.
