Physioball Bridge | Dryland Workout | Technique Explained
WORKOUT PLAN: https://swimcore.co.uk/workout-plan/i...
This exercise does an excellent job of tying activation of the gluteal and hamstring muscles to the core. Although you are facing upward when performing this exercise, it will strengthen the muscles that contribute to the undulating body movements that are performed during butterfly, breaststroke, and dolphin kicking.
Before raising your hips off the ground, set your core as described in previous videos. Doing this will isolate the exercise to the primary and secondary muscles groups and prevent injury to the low back. The difficulty of the exercise can be varied by altering the position of your feet on the ball.
The less contact you have with the ball, the more difficult the exercise will be. The highest level of difficulty occurs when only your heels are touching the top of the ball.
This exercise serves as the foundation for the physioball hamstring curl in the following video: https://youtu.be/5oe9PANY0mM
