SINGLE LEG BRIDGES
This is a fantastic exercise if you want to work the entire upper body, and lower body all at the same time!
♥ Lie on your back with your arms at your sides with your knees bent and your feet on the floor.
♥ Lift your hips toward the ceiling. Hold for 1 count, and then lower back down.
♥ Repeat the lifts for 60 seconds, squeezing your glutes and hamstrings at the top of the range of motion. Be careful not to overarch your spine.
♥ To make this exercise more difficult, extend one leg at the top of the lift. Keep your thighs parallel and hold the lifted position for about 5 seconds.
♥ Keeping your hips up, place your foot back on the floor and then lower your hips.
♥ Repeat this exercise for 30 seconds; switch sides and do the move for another 30 seconds on the other leg.
♥ Remember to give your baby a big kiss and a snuggle at the end!
