The shoulder bridge is a type of back bridge, except you only go to your shoulders. It is a great workout for your back and glutes, and it doesn’t require Olympic gymnast flexibility to do it.
Step 1: Start by lying on the floor, on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor.
Pressing your elbows and shoulders into the floor, press your pelvis upward to form the bridge position. Your body should form a straight line from your knees to your shoulders.
Hold.
