It’s Movement Monday and today’s exercise is Swiss Ball bridges. This exercise-ball move is great for working the core.

• Press heels firmly into the ball to raise your hips off the ground, coming into a bridge and actively squeezing your glutes as you lift.
• With control, slowly release your bottom back down to the floor. This counts as one rep.

This Movement Monday’s exercise is the
Side-Lying Hip Adduction. It helps strengthen the muscles in your hip that support stability and agility.

- Perform an abdominal draw in to protect your back from injury. Do this by pulling your umbilicus (belly button) in towards your back.
- Keep your knee and toes straight, kick your leg out to the side of your body slowly.
(Make sure you keep your upper body and back straight during the exercise)
- Return to starting position.
- Repeat 10-15 times.
- Repeat with opposite leg.
