Exercise Description

The sliding floor bridge curl builds hamstring strength while you hold a bridge position. It hits your hamstrings hard and fires up your glutes at the same time.

How To

1. Lie on your back with knees bent, heels on sliding discs or towels 2. Lift your hips into a bridge position and keep them up throughout the sliding floor bridge curl 3. Slowly slide your heels away from your body until legs are nearly straight 4. Pull your heels back toward your glutes using your hamstrings during the sliding floor bridge curl 5. Keep your hips high and repeat for desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your hips up high throughout the entire sliding floor bridge curl movement • Pull with your hamstrings, not your calves when sliding back • Control the slide out - don't let your feet shoot away too fast during sliding floor bridge curl • Squeeze your glutes to maintain the bridge position

Common Mistakes

• Letting hips drop during the sliding floor bridge curl - keep them high the whole time • Using calves instead of hamstrings to pull your feet back • Sliding out too fast during sliding floor bridge curl and losing control of the movement
