From the Gymnastics WOD…..how to bridge:
Lie flat on your back
Bend arms and put them on the ground by your ears, with forearm vertical to the floor
Bend knees and bring your feet in, placing feet flat on the ground
Press through shoulders and drive through hips to to raise your body off the floor
Reach full extension in the hips with legs straight as you push your head through your arms
Finish the bridge up with arms vertical to the floor and the rest of the body in full extension
Note: You can scale this exercise by placing feet flat on a higher surface (step, box, wall) and/or have a partner stand by your hands to spot your shoulders on the press up.
