“The Bridge Position” – Delna Pooniwala.
I dedicate this post especially to ladies & people with a lower back problem.
With the routine of our work and home we ladies can barely manage to spare a little time for our own exercise and top of the list is what we see. We want to work on a smaller waistline and tighter hips and thighs, we want to get that sharp depression on the abdomen and thighs.
What we may tend to forget at times, is a strong ‘pelvic floor’, which would not only boost the core strength and stability but could improve sexual health as well. The pelvic floor is the set of muscles, ligaments, tissues and nerves that support your bladder, uterus, vagina and rectum.
Bridging is a very simple exercise that can help ladies so lie on your back, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Inhale slowly, as you engage your pelvic floor and lift your hips up. Hold this for 10 counts and come down slowly to normal position while breathing out.
Bridging is also an excellent rehab exercise I recommend to my clients suffering from slipped disc, sciatica, or any lumber back problems.
Do include Bridging in your daily routine & observe the improvement for yourself.
