Good exercise for your core stability
Do you want to improve your core stability? Then the bridge, also called the bridge or the bridge, is an exercise that should not be missing in your daily work-out.
The bridge seems like a simple exercise, but it certainly isn’t. If you do it right, it is spicy and very effective. You train your legs, abdomen and buttocks with it. You also improve your core stability or your trunk stability. Your ‘core’ refers to your torso or core: a corset of muscles around your back, abdomen and pelvis. You need these muscles when performing all kinds of movements. A stable, strong core reduces the risk of injury, so it’s a good idea to train your core stability.
do the bridge
- Lie on your back with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor. Make sure your knees are above your ankles.
- Keep your knees in line with your shoulders and hips. Then move your pelvis up and down and squeeze your buttocks and legs together as hard as you can at the highest point. Make sure to keep your back straight by tightening your abs.

Does the above option work for you? There are plenty of options to make this exercise more difficult. For example, by alternately stretching your right and left leg. Keep your hips high and don’t slump. You can also clamp a special soft exercise ball between your knees. Another variant is with a Pilates ball. You support it with your head, neck and shoulders. This way you train the leg muscles extra and also the trunk stability.
