Exercise of the Week ~ Abdominal Bridge

Abdominal Bridge on Exercise Ball with Forward Reach

We can never have too many core exercises!

Difficulty: Moderate to Advanced (Consult your chiropractor before starting this or any other exercise.)

Start: Assume abdominal bridge position on exercise ball. Focus
on bringing belly button inward, and holding entire body in straight line – ankles to ears.

Exercise: Roll ball forward with arms, keeping body still. As you
reach forward, lower back will arch. Contract inner abdominal
muscles to prevent this from happening. Return to start position, maintaining tight abdomen throughout.

Repeat 5-10 times.
