Lateral Bridge!

Begin lying on your side with your forearm under your shoulder and your legs extend with your feet flexed and stacked. Engage you glutes and abs and press your hip off the floor to create a straight line from your shoulder to your ankles. Bend your top leg and bring your knee to waist height, hold for 5 deep breaths, return, repeat and roll over to the other side when you have completed 5-8 repetitions.

Feel free to prop your top foot in front of your bottom for balance, or do this exercise with both your knees bent.

This will target your core and your shoulders. Don’t forget to breathe; keep your head and spine aligned and drink lots of water!
