How to: Rolling Bridge
- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

- While maintaining the bridge, slowly roll from one shoulder to the other.
- Return to the center and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the hips sag during the roll.
- Raising the heels off the ground.
- Using momentum rather than core strength to roll.

Tips
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
- Engage your core to stabilize your body during the roll.
