Back Exercise: "The Bridge"

Written by on November 3, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The Bridge exercise strengthens your abdominal, buttocks, and hamstring muscles. This helps keep your back stable and aligned when you walk.

  • Lie on the floor with your back and palms flat. Bend your knees to a right angle. Keep your feet positioned flat on the ground.
  • Slowly raise your buttocks off the floor until there is a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. At the same time keep your abdominals tight.
  • Hold this position for five seconds. Lower your buttocks back to the ground. This will count as one repetition. You can start off doing this five times, than with practice the number of repetitions can be increased gradually up to ten times.
