Core Exercise Corrections - Top 3 Mistakes Women Make With Bridges

back & hip exercise fixes
 

 

🙋‍♀️ So you want to be bridging your heart out to get that strong-as-steel, perky booty. 🍑 There’s only 1 problem though… when you try, you feel it more in your quads, back, or knees than in your glutes.  Sound familiar?  We can help.

👉 Bridges are a go-to core & glute exercise, so most women who work with us have done them before. However, the majority of them need plenty of cues and tweaks to optimize their technique – to get the results they’ve been after all along.

✔️ For our Top 3 Mistakes we see women making with Bridges, the first 2 corrections are the easiest to implement, and we’ve got some additional tips on the 3rd below:

1️⃣ Make sure your feet are directly under your knees, not too far out or too far in.  This is a first step to helping you feel the burn in your glutes and not in your back, quads, or knees.

2️⃣ Don’t lift your hips too high.  You may think you’re getting more 'bang for your buck' for your booty, but you’re really just aggravating your neck and back

3️⃣ Engage your abs as you do your bridges. ✨ This is a big one to take the pressure off your low back and move the action back into your glutes (or “butta-cheekas” as Jenn likes to call them 😊).  If you’re not sure if your abs are ‘on’ or not, try forcefully / quickly exhaling before bridging to activate your deep abs.  Don’t do all your bridges with no breath - this is just a nice cheat to make sure you get your deep abs on board to help you out. *We teach proper breathing and core activation in our Signature Program too!*

Now – go forth and bridge!  And create your own Glute Glory Story! 🙌 Or bring on any questions you’re left scratching your head about. 🤔 We’re total nerds for this stuff, which (trust us) is good for you! 😘
