Opposition Bridge Version 1
This exercise is designed to strengthen your core and stabilizers (muscles used for balance), shoulders, lower back and hips. The trick is to keep your balance. This is slightly strenuous.
Begin on hands and knees (as shown in photo) then extend right arm and left leg and hold (as shown in photo). Work up to holding this position for 15 seconds. Replace hand and knee to mat and extend other arm and opposite leg and hold. Master Version 1 before moving to Version 2.
