Bridge Exercise
by Dr. Christopher Notley
Start position
- Lay on your back with your knees bent and hands flat on the floor
- Perform a pelvic tilt and hold that position.
Finish position
- Squeeze your buttocks
- Lift your buttocks up off the ground until your thighs are inline with your torso.
- Hold this position
- Slowly slower back down to the start position
- Repeat
Alternatives
- Try performing this exercise while on a foam roller. It makes it more wobbly but that only works the muscles of your core that much more.
- Try performing this exercise while having your shoulders on a bosu ball, dynadisc or disc ‘o sit.
- Try adding weight onto your hips with a dumbbell or weight plate.
