Bridge Exercise: Strengthen Your Low Back

[@barbaratierney1326]

I like this sequence, but as a Pilates instructor I don’t like the cue to brace the abdominals, if you do this you can’t breathe the Diaphragm can’t work properly.Use the inhale,exhale to aid the movement. Thanks Barbara Tierney .

Abdominal breathing is possible with a brace, it just requires practice. Like everything it's a skill to learn. The brace should be appropriate to the task, a heavy brace for heavy tasks and a light brace for light task. This way the spine is supported appropriately and breathing is maintained.
