Coach's Tips

This move strengthens your glutes and hamstrings while improving spinal stability and pelvic alignment.

How to 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 down.

Proper Form

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

2. Hold at the peak for a moment, then slowly lower yourself down as if lowering each vertebra to the floor.

3. Return to the original position and repeat.

Breathing Technique

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

Precautions

1. Please avoid bending your waist excessively and rely on your glutes and hamstrings.

2. If you feel tension in your neck and shoulders, gently pull your chin in to relax.

3. If you have back pain, please lower the height or reduce the number of repetitions.
