Sliding Floor Bridge Curl


Pro Tip

If you do not have access to a slider, you can substitute it for another object that rolls, like a foam roller.


How To

  1. Lie supine on the floor with your arms by your side and a slider underneath the heels of your feet while raising your toes off of the ground.
  2. Exhale and curl your legs toward you, drawing the slider to your body while raising your butt off the floor.
  3. Continue until you cannot curl your legs further.
  4. Inhale and allow your legs to extend out in front of you, pushing the slider away and returning to the starting position.
