- Lie on your back with your hands placed flat next to your ears.
- With your elbows and knees bent, feet flat on the floor, press through your feet to get your hips up and engage your glutes.
- Push through your hands and press your elbows as straight as possible.
- As your back arches, be sure you feel the stretch in your upper back and not your lower back.
- The progression of refinement for the full bridge is: arms straight, chest pressed forward, legs straight, and feet together in that order.
- Hold for time.
