BRIDGE MARCH ON BENCH
Sets: 2-3
Reps: 10 (5 each side)
Support your upper back on the bench and walk your feet out to a 90 degree knee bend.
Lift your hips in a bridge position so that your hips are in line with your trunk.
Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.
Exhale and draw in your core. Press down with one leg to stabilize as you march the other leg up.
Inhale and lower back down. Exhale, draw in and switch sides.
Avoid letting your pelvis rock or drop during the exercise.
You should feel this working through your glute and core, not the lower back
Modifications:
Extend your arms out to the side for increased support or hold them straight up for a challenge.
Decrease the range of your march - start with just lifting the foot barely off the ground and work up to fully unweighting the leg.
