To do the bridge exercise, lay on your back and position your arms at your side with your knees bent. Your feet should be flat on the floor as you lift your hips to the ceiling until your knees and thighs are parallel. Keep your shoulders on the floor and hold the pose for 5 deep breaths, and then lower your hips back to the floor.

Begin in the starting position for a basic bridge. Raise your left leg as you raise your pelvis up. Hold, then lower your hips back down to the floor, keeping the leg raised. Switch to the right side. This exercise adds even more intensity to the single-leg bridge by incorporating leg movement while the pelvis is in the raised position.
