Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Exercise Challenge: Bridge with Ball

I must apologize for my absence.  Its the day after Thanksgiving, and I have a moment on the internet to blog. Here is one of the exercises that StrollerFit  moms are doing today.  I challenge you to take a break from all those delicious Thanksgiving leftovers and put something else into your body: exercise.  Your body will thank you for it.  

Bridge with ball

 (Hamstrings, Glutes, Pelvic Floor)

Lying on floor with feet planted on ball on floor knees bent, squeeze mommymuscle® ball between knees.  Place arms at side, palms face up. Keeping shoulders down and back, chest up and naval tucked into spine, exhale hips up balancing on ball.  Even though hips are lifted, keep naval tucked in to spine.

For a little extra challenge, try it with a toddler climbing on top of you! Just beware of fast flying feet, knees and elbows. :)

*best done without socks or shoes!

Hold for 20 seconds, 2 sets

Remember, you should really be feeling this is in your hamstrings, glutes, and pelvis floor.
