Wat is ‘bridges’

A bridge is a fitness exercise in which you lie on your back with bent knees and your feet flat on the ground. This exercise is aimed at strengthening the glutes and the lower back.

Here are the steps to execute a bridge:

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Keep your arms along your sides.
2. Tighten your glutes and slowly lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
3. Hold this position for 1 to 2 seconds and tighten your glutes even more firmly.
4. Slowly lower your hips back to the ground.
5. Repeat this movement for 10 to 15 repetitions.
6. Rest for a moment and repeat the set 1 or 2 more times.

It is important to control your breathing and keep your back straight during the exercise. If you do not feel any tension in your glutes or lower back, check if you are performing the exercise correctly.
