"In this clip, we're going to be doing bridges with coasters. You want to slowly get down upon your floor mat area. And set your coasters up, by your feet. And place the balls of your feet, on top of the coasters. And slowly roll your body, down. O.k. Now, this might be a little bit challenging. More challenging than a regular bridge. First you're going to put your hands on the side. Or you can put them underneath your lower back for additional support. Want to go ahead and bridge up. Roll the shoulders back. And bring them back down. Guess, it's a little bit more of a challenge. Because you're having to stabilize your feet. Since you're not on the flat surface. Since you have the additional coasters to deal with. O.k., you're going to bridge up. And keep your body, nice and long. Nice line from your toes. Up to your knees and from your knees, down to your shoulders. O.k., relax down. O.k., you're going to go ahead and extend back up. Tighten up your glutes. Tighten up your abs. Relax your shoulders back. You can roll them back, if you wish. Arms extending towards your lower body. As far as the amount of time, you want to hold this position. You want to start off, with about ten to fifteen seconds. Do three sets. And gradually build up your time. To where you're doing each one for thirty to forty seconds. And even a minute. But that'll take some time and practice."
