Back Exercises: Bridge

The bridge exercise strengthens your abdominal, buttock, and hamstring muscles. This helps keep your back stable and aligned when you walk.

• Lie on the floor with your back and palms flat. Bend your knees. Keep your feet flat on the floor.

• Contract your abdominal and buttock muscles. Slowly lift your buttocks off the floor until there is a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.

• Hold for 5 to 15  seconds. Repeat 5 to10 times.
