The Shoulder Bridge

Starting Position

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet hip-width apart.

2. Keep your arms by your sides with your palms facing the floor.

Proper Form

1. Tighten your abdomen and lift your hips so that your knees, pelvis, and shoulders are in a straight line.

2. Hold at the top for a moment, then slowly lower down one vertebra at a time as if placing them on the floor.

3. Return to the original position and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Inhale while lifting your pelvis, and exhale slowly while lowering it.
