Hello posture pupils I'm Paula Moore the posture doctor from posturevideos dotcom and I know
you know this but please the information in this video for educational purposes only.
Don't diagnose or self treat and talk to your health care provider before doing the exercise
in this video. Hey everybody, today I'm going to show you an exercise for core strength.
This is Paula's version of the bridge. You'll need your resistance band and you're going
to need to lie on your backs. So here we go. Slide down.
Knees are bent; typical bridge position. So let's review the bridge. The hands are flat
down beside you, nice and relaxed through the shoulders and knees are very slightly
apart. So coming right up and think posture. We want to be aligned. Not too low and not
extending your backs. So just the regular bridging exercise. So again, regular form,
just drawing the abdominals in and back down. Now this is where the resistance band comes
in.
You're going to take the resistance band, put it across the bony prominences of the
pelvis. Locate those. Right across and you'll find the resistance that's right for you.
Some like it really tight but that's really hard, so I'm going to loosen it a little bit.
Grab the palms and bring them right down onto the floor. You're going to hold your resistance
band there. Let's try the resisted bridge version. Here we go. And one,
and down.
And two; it's hard. Don't forget to breathe. And three and back down. Carry on with that one. I would
recommend three sets of five, if you're a beginner and if you've been doing a lot of
core exercises, you could go right up to three sets of ten. Ouch. Enjoy that one and I'll
see you again really soon. Bye.
