Jan 15, 2013 8:48 PM: Some really good variations to this exercise.
1) Put a barbell across your stomach for extra weight
2) Do the one leg variation. One foot on the ground, the other leg straight.
3) Balance your shoulders on a low box/bench for better range of movement.

Nov 12, 2011 5:27 AM: hold the bridge upward until you feel a slight pinch for 30 sec.. Then pulse for 30 reps and hold again for 20 sec.. Pulse for 20 reps. Another hold 10 sec. and your last pulse 10 reps. It's a great core and glute workout.
