Bridge exercise

Illustration of bridge exercise

Do the bridge to strengthen your core muscles. Lie on your back with your knees bent. Tighten your abdominal muscles. Raise your hips off the floor until your hips are aligned with your knees and shoulders. Hold for three deep breaths. Return to the starting position and repeat.
