Video Transcript

"This next exercise is our 4-point bridge on the stability ball. This exercise is going to work everything. We're talking glutes, hamstrings, abdominals, lower back. So come on down to your mat and place your feet on top of the ball and extend your legs straight out so your heels are on top of the ball. Lift your hips up. Now you want to press down in your shoulders to get a good base, and then bend your knees, draw the ball in towards your glutes, lift your hips up as high as you can, and then lower down your hips and extend your legs out. So it's called 4-point because we go 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. As you're performing this exercise you're squeezing every muscle you have. Now, be very careful with this exercise if you have any neck issues or shoulder issues or back issues because this is a pretty intense exercise. 4-point bridge, and there you have it."
