If You Can Hold a Bridge This Long After 60, Your Core Strength Is Top-Tier

1 week ago 23

If your goal is to build core strength, bridge holds should definitely be a priority in your workouts. For this exercise, you lie flat on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor as you lift your hips and form a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Sounds like fun, right? It’s extremely productive, since holding the position activates your transverse abdominis and forces your muscles to stabilize your pelvis and spine.

If you’re already a fan, you can check just how strong your core is. According to Jacob Siwicki, founder and head coach of Siwicki Fitness, NCSF and AFAA certified, former top 1% globally ranked Equinox group fitness instructor (2019), Dartmouth economics graduate and former Dartmouth football player, fitness expert on FOX 5 DC, ranked #1 personal trainer in D.C. in 2021, if you can hold a bridge this long after 60, your core strength is considered top-tier.
