Bridge with a kick – Mondays with Margot
Who can pass up an opportunity to put feet on a wall? Bridge with a kick is inspired by a Pilates Wunda Chair exercise and is an excellent way to work the back of the body–especially your hamstrings.
Steps
– Lie on your back with pelvis level and feet on a wall
– Position yourself so the angle at your knees is slightly greater than 90º
– Press shoulders strongly against the floor and feet gently against the wall
– Lift pelvis gradually so your hip creases flatten and open; make sure weight is across your upper back rather than your neck
– Keep left foot on wall and reach right leg toward right shoulder
– Reverse the motion, place right foot on wall, and repeat the sequence with your left leg
Reps
Do three cycles (3 times with each leg).
