How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat, about hip-width apart.
  2. Place your arms by your sides, palms down.
  3. Brace your core and press through your heels to lift your hips.
  4. Squeeze your glutes at the top so your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
  5. Hold for 1–2 seconds, then lower slowly.

Coaching tips

  • Tuck your ribs down so you don't arch your lower back.
  • Progress to single-leg bridges when 20 reps feel easy.

Common mistakes

  • Over-arching the lower back at the top.
  • Pushing through the toes instead of the heels.
