Butt Bridge
A still V-sit balanced on the end of a flat bench, the hands holding it and the straight legs raised in line with the leaning torso.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the end of a flat bench, hands gripping its sides by the hips, torso leaning back.
Steps
- Lift the straight legs until the body and the legs form a shallow V.
- Hold it with the chest open and the lower back long.
- Lower the legs to the floor to finish.
Common mistakes
Rounding the lower back: lift the chest and keep the spine long. Knees bending and the legs sinking: keep them straight and up. Holding the breath: breathe steadily through the hold.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
