Main muscles

  • Erector Spinae

What it is

This exercise builds foundational core strength by first tilting your pelvis, then articulating your spine into a bridge. It primarily targets your lower back, enhancing stability and mobility.

Technique tips

  • Lie with knees bent, feet flat on the floor, heels directly under your knees.
  • Initiate the movement by gently lifting only your tailbone towards the ceiling.
  • Engage your abdominal muscles to support your lower back throughout the lift.
  • Lift your spine one vertebra at a time, keeping your neck relaxed on the floor.
  • Avoid pushing off your neck; the power comes from your glutes and core.
  • Exhale as you lift your hips; inhale as you slowly lower your body down.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
