Single-Leg Stability Ball Hip Thrust

IntermediateStability ball

This combines a hip thrust with a stability ball and a single-leg setup. Balancing your upper back on the ball while working one leg maximizes instability, which boosts glute activation, and the elevated position widens your range of motion. It's a challenging progression for building single-leg glute strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Rest your upper back on a stability ball with your feet flat on the floor.

  2. 2

    Lift one leg off the ground while keeping your balance on the ball.

  3. 3

    Lower your hips slightly into the starting position.

  4. 4

    Push through your planted heel and squeeze your glutes and hamstrings to raise your hips.

  5. 5

    Lift until your hips align with your knee and shoulders, then hold briefly at the top.

  6. 6

    Keep your hips level and core braced throughout, then lower with control and repeat before switching legs.
