Supported Bridge Lie on your back with knees bent and your feet hip distance apart. Place your feet close enough so they can be touched by the finger tips. Inhale and lift the hips, and while doing so, place a block or rolled up towel under the sacrum. Keep the chest open. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times. For a more challenging exercise, repeat the same steps without using the block for support. When lifting hips, try to arch to the point where your torso and hips become a straight line and your pelvis is level. Try not to arch too high. Hold for about 5 seconds while continuing to breathe and then slowly set yourself back down. EXERCISE ESSENTIALS USE THIS TECHNIQUE FOR CORE STRENGTH
