Table Top Bridge
Seated with the hands behind and the feet flat, lift the hips until the body from shoulders to knees is level like a table top, then lower.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor, knees bent, feet flat hip-width, hands on the floor behind the hips, fingers toward the feet.
Steps
- Press through the heels and hands to lift the hips.
- Stop with the shins vertical and the hips in line with the shoulders.
- Lower the hips back to just above the floor.
Common mistakes
Hips stopping low: squeeze the glutes up to a level line. Head dropping back hard: keep the chin slightly tucked. Shoulders shrugged to the ears: push the floor away and keep them down.
Breathing
Exhale lifting, inhale lowering.
