Drawbridge Hip Hinge for Abs Hips and Thighs

Drawbridge hip hinge for abdominals, hips and thighs - Mondays with Margot
Moving your legs on the stable base called your torso is the goal of today's exercise. If you find it too difficult moving both legs, lift legs separately and then lower them separately.
Prop yourself on forearms and pelvis so you are in a reclined position with bent legs and support from your upper body.
Pull up tall on your arms, tighten your midriff, and press down on the bones between your buttocks (sacrum).
Next, hinge your hips and lift your legs like a drawbridge. Stay steady, strong and still through your torso so all the motion is at your hips.
Hold for a second or two and then reverse the hip hinge and lower your legs to the floor.
Do 4-6 repetitions, rest and repeat.
If there is strain or you feel like you are using your lower back too much, tip back on your pelvis to activate your oblique abdominals and increase the support from your midriff.
