Helps With
A gentle glute and pelvic stability exercise that helps strengthen the lower body and support posture, lower back and hips during pregnancy.
Instructions
-
1
Walk Out
Sit comfortably on your ball and slowly walk your feet forward as the ball rolls under your back.
-
2
Lower Down
Gently lower until your shoulders, neck and head are supported on the ball.
-
3
Set Feet
Keep feet flat, hip-width apart, with knees bent at a comfortable angle.
-
4
Hold & Breathe
Hold the bridge for around 30 seconds, breathing slowly and deeply.
-
5
Draw In & Return
As you exhale, draw your tummy gently in towards your spine, then slowly return to sitting.
Tip
Avoid this in your third trimester — lying back on your back for any length of time can compress major blood vessels under your bump.
