Dr. Riley:
This drill is called three-point bridge with your arms down. This is a phenomenal drill to start to work on, just simple activation of your glutes. So the glute max is the big extensor throughout our hip. A lot of times us who sit for extended periods throughout the day, we have a difficult time activating our glutes, okay. So Bree is in a hook position with her legs and knees together here. We’re going to have her arch her back, flatten her back one more time, arch and then flatten. In this position she’s going to hold this flattened position. Using her glutes she’s going to fire up into a bridging position just like that. We’re going to hold for maybe a two count, and then we’re going to go down, okay?
So remember we’re going to arch and flatten, arch and flatten from there. Really fire from your glutes, okay? Your big butt muscles and bring yourself up. We want to let go throughout our hamstrings, make sure that we’re firing through our glutes. This is a good activation for the glute max, which is the big hip extensor. This is called three-point bridge arms down.
