Bridging – Buttocks

Lie on the back, with hands flat on the ground, arms alongside the body, and knees bent:

• Inhale and life the buttocks off the ground, pushing down through the feet.
• Maintain the position for the couple of seconds and lower the pelvis with out touching the buttocks on the ground.
• Exhale and begin again.

This exercise mainly works the hamstrings and gluteus maximus.

Perform this exercise in long sets, making sure to contract the muscles at the top of the lift, when the pelvis is off the ground.
