The Table Top Bridge strengthens your glutes and core while improving stability.

  1. Start on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Lift your hips towards the ceiling, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
  3. Hold the position for a moment, then lower your hips back to the starting position.

How to perform the Table Top Bridge

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Table Top Bridge using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your trapezius.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your trapezius rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
