Hip Lifts
Starting Posture
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Arms should be resting by your sides.
How to Exercise
Engage your core muscles and squeeze your glutes as you lift your hips off the ground. Keep your knees in line with your hips and shoulders. Hold the top position for a few seconds before slowly lowering back down.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower your hips down and exhale as you lift your hips up.
Common errors
Arching the back excessively, allowing the knees to come apart, lifting the hips too high, and not engaging the core and glutes properly can all lead to improper form.

Comments and tips
Focus on squeezing your glutes throughout the movement to effectively target the muscles. Keep your core engaged to maintain stability. Make sure not to arch your back excessively during the lift.
Cautions
Avoid using momentum to lift your hips as this can strain your lower back. If you experience any pain, stop the exercise immediately.
