01 / Steps
How to do it
Sitting on the ground, place your hands on the floor with your fingers facing outwards.
Raise your hips so that you are in a bridge position.
Try to keep your back and thighs in a straight line and your legs bent at a 90° angle.
This exercise activates the entire posterior chain and works shoulder mobility.
An advanced version would be with your fingers facing backwards, instead of outwards.
