Starting Position

Lie on your back with your feet flat on a balance board, knees bent, legs together, arms at your sides, and abs engaged.

Action

EXHALE: Keep your abs engaged as you push your hips straight up toward the ceiling, lifting your glutes and lower back off the floor. INHALE: Slowly lower your hips back down to the start position to complete one rep.

Special Instructions

Don't put any pressure in your head or neck; balance your weight between your feet (on the board), your shoulder blades, and your arms. Only bridge your hips up as high as you can go while maintaining balance, control and good form.

Muscles Worked: Glutes, Hamstrings
