Exercise Performance

Angled bridges require a bench or a stable object of similar size. Lie back on the edge of the bench or object with your hips clear, and your feet flat on the ground and shoulder width apart. Place your hands either side of your head, with your fingers pointing towards your feet. Press down through the hands, pushing the hips up, arching back until your head and body are entirely clear of the bench. Look at the wall behind you. This is the hold position. Keep this position for the desired time, breathing as smoothly as possible. Return to the bench by slowly reversing the motion.
