I utilize bridging as an assessment and exercise tool in my training and rehab programs. \u00a0Posterior chain\/hip stability is poor in many clients. \u00a0The ability to maintain a neutral spine, engage the glutes and fight rotation is NOT an easy task by any means. So, coaching and cueing proper bridging is a great way to enhance pillar strength and reduce injury risk, while facilitating better movement patterns in sport.<\/p>\n
I wrote a recent column for PFP magazine entitled iso bridge with alternate knee extension. \u00a0Click here <\/a><\/strong>to read the column and the application, regression and progression of the exercise. \u00a0In addition, I have included a short video below showing double leg and single leg bridge exercises that can be used to work on the hips and core. \u00a0The second exercise is the dynamic version of the iso alternate knee extension bridge I write about. I show you some of the single leg progressions that come after mastering the iso bridge as well.<\/p>\n
