1. Lie flat on your back with arms at your sides, legs straight and together 2. Contract your core and slowly raise both legs up until they're at 90 degrees to your torso 3. At the top of the lying leg raise with hip thrust, push your hips up off the ground by squeezing your glutes 4. Hold the hip thrust position for one second, keeping tension in your hip flexors and core 5. Lower your hips first, then slowly lower your legs back to the starting position for the lying leg raise with hip thrust
• Keep your lower back pressed against the floor throughout the entire lying leg raise with hip thrust movement • Move slowly and controlled - never swing or use momentum to lift your legs up • Squeeze your glutes hard during the hip thrust portion to maximize muscle activation • Don't let your legs touch the ground between reps during the lying leg raise with hip thrust
• Arching your lower back off the ground, which can cause pain and reduces the effectiveness of the lying leg raise with hip thrust • Moving too fast and using momentum instead of muscle control to perform the movement • Skipping the hip thrust portion or not squeezing your glutes during the lying leg raise with hip thrust exercise
