TOM CLIFFORD: Next I'm going to demonstrate the wrestler's bridge. Wrestler's bridge is very, very similar to the neck bridge, alright. You're going to have your feet flat on the ground and this is an advance exercise so you got to be careful and make sure you know your neck strength before you start. So again, we're going to keep our feet flat on the ground, hands at our side for stability, palms down, put your head on a pillow or a towel, okay? Lift your hips up and roll your neck back so your forehead is facing the wall behind you and roll down, nice and slow, about three seconds up, three seconds down. Back up, roll your head forward, stretch the back--front of the neck out and back down. This does put a lot of pressure on your head so you really have to take it slow and be careful and make sure you're ready for an exercise like this. So points to remember with the wrestler's bridge is to start out on your back, hands down, put your palms on the ground for stability, make sure your head is on a pillow or a towel, alright? Roll your forehead back about three seconds and then bring it back about three seconds down, make sure you're breathing, alright? Take it slow. That's how you do a wrestler's bridge.
