Exercise of the Month - September

Hamstring/Glute Bridge

Begin laying on the floor with your feet resting on the ball.  Keeping your hands on the floor for stabilizaiton, lift your hips off of the floor.  Hold for a count of 4, then draw the heels toward your glutes while keeping your hips off of the floor.  Hold for a count of 4.  Contract your abs working on core stabilization in both positions.  Contract your hamstrings and glutes as you draw in.  For an extra challenge, raise your hands off of the floor.  Your abs and hamstrings will tell you how many reps to do.
