Bridge March demonstration

How to do it

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat, hip-width apart.
  2. Press through the whole foot — especially the heel and base of the big toe — and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips into a bridge, forming a straight line from knees to shoulders.
  3. Holding that height, slowly lift one foot only a few centimetres until the hip and knee begin to unload, without letting the pelvis drop or rotate.
  4. Lower the foot and repeat on the other side, keeping your pelvis level throughout.

Form cues

  • Lift the hips through hip extension, not by arching the low back; keep ribs and pelvis stacked.
  • Maintain equal pressure through the planted foot and do not push through the neck.
  • Move the feet slightly closer if the hamstrings cramp.
  • Stop the set when the pelvis rotates, drops or the lower back arches.

Part of Lower-Body Posture Reset

This exercise is one move. Lower-Body Posture Reset puts it in a plan — so you know what to do, in what order, and how much, week by week.

  • Sequenced & dosed — the right exercises, in the right order, at the right volume.
  • Progresses with you — difficulty ramps as you get stronger, not on a fixed calendar.
  • Personalized — built around the specific limiter actually holding you back.
  • Tracks your progress — see what's working and adjust over time.
