Medicine Ball Bridge

The medicine ball bridge is the 5th exercise in the Bridge Progression Series.  Once you move to an unstable surface the core and the glutes really kick in.  It is important to not allow your back to arch through this movement. 

Now that your feet are off the ground your hamstrings will have to work harder, but you still do not want them to cramp.  If you are having touble moving with this exercise you can bridge up and hold instead.

Give it a try, if you find this exercise too hard back yourself back down to the 4th exercise and continue there.  Try to work your way up to 1 or 2 sets of about a minute each. Next post I will show you number 6 in the series.

Stay Motivated,

Karen
