Instructions

1. Secure the suspension straps and adjust them to hang at about the mid-calf height.

2. Lie on your side with your feet placed in the foot cradles of the suspension trainer, stacking one foot over the other.

3. Position your elbow underneath your shoulder, keeping your forearm pressed against the ground to support your upper body.

4. Lift your hips off the ground by engaging your core and oblique muscles, striving to maintain a straight line from head to feet.

5. Keep your opposite hand on your hip or extended towards the ceiling for added stability.

6. Hold the side bridge position for the desired duration or as long as you can maintain a proper form.

7. Lower your hips back to the ground with control and repeat on the opposite side.

Tips: - Keep your head, neck, and spine in alignment; avoid letting your hips dip or lift too high. - Engage your core throughout the exercise to support the spine and increase stability. - For beginners, start with shorter durations and gradually increase as strength and stability improve. - Breathe steadily throughout the hold; do not hold your breath.
