5. FAQ on bridge back
A bridge back extension exercise targets the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back muscles.
Bridge back extensions should be done two to three times per week. It is important to give your body time to rest and recover between workouts. Make sure to listen to your body and adjust the frequency as needed.
The best way to progress with bridge back extensions is to start by doing them with your feet flat on the ground. Once you become comfortable with this position, you can begin to progress by elevating your feet onto a bench or box, or by adding a weight to your chest. Make sure to always maintain a neutral spine and keep your glutes engaged throughout the exercise.
