Our next clip is going to be a bridge with our suspension trainer. You can start with your hands, palms down on the floor or hands underneath the low back for support. Remember you are going to control the resistance by the height of your legs or the distance you are from the center of your base. So you are going to place your feet down in the stirrups, bring the back up, extend, hold and release. Now being that this is a challenging exercise I would start off with short spurts go ahead and try holding each bridge 2 to 3 seconds a piece and then as you get stronger try to increase your hold to 10 to 15 seconds and beyond. So you are going to bridge up, extend, and release. Now keep your body nice and long, there should be a nice long line from your knees all the way down to the top of your hips. Extend and relax. You are going to be feeling this exercise in the quads, the gluts, the hams, low back, and you are also going to feel it in your abs or your core. Now let's try a couple more, bridge up and relax. Try to keep your shoulders rolled back, arms relaxed, bridge up and release.
