How to do it

  1. Sitting on the ground, place your hands on the floor with your fingers facing outwards.
  2. Raise your hips so that you are in a bridge position.
  3. Try to keep your back and thighs in a straight line and your legs bent at a 90° angle.
  4. This exercise activates the entire posterior chain and works shoulder mobility.
  5. An advanced version would be with your fingers facing backwards, instead of outwards.
