Hip Raise Bridge
From a forearm plank, push the hips up into an inverted V and lower them back into the line.
How to do it
Setup
Forearms under the shoulders, up on the toes, body straight from the head to the heels.
Steps
- Push the hips up toward the ceiling, the legs straight.
- Keep the forearms pressed down and the neck long.
- Lower the hips back into a straight plank without sagging.
Common mistakes
Sagging below the line on the way down: stop when the body is straight. Bending the knees to get the hips up: keep the legs long and lift with the abs. Shoulders creeping to the ears: push the forearms into the floor.
Breathing
Exhale lifting the hips, inhale lowering.
