Bridges are done while laying on your back on a stable sturdy surface. Bend the knees with the feet flat on the surface shoulder width apart. Raise the rear off the table and attempt to straighten the body. Hold this position for 2 to 3 seconds without holding your breath. Slowly lower back to the table. Repeat this motion 20 to 30 times.
