Bridge Tutorial: Gymnastic Flexibility Skill

In this video I show you another skill that you can learn: The Bridge. It is a gymnastic skill that requires quite some flexibility and also some shoulder and core strenght. However, I think most people will succeed in learning this skill after training a while.

An advice: please do not circle your neck, as it is not a ball-and-socket joint so this can be harmful. Instead, you could do some nodding moves (like the "yes" and "no" gestures) and tilting your head from side to side.

I wish you good progress and health ~

@clonecrab I usually make slow 'half' circles now, but I did it like that back then.

I can do it but isn't this bad for your back? I mean, you're bending your spine alot.

@ePakamatches Comfortable is different, but if you do some warm up exercises and start with light stretching I don't think there should be a big problem. If you are more experienced and know your body well you know when to stop and when you can go on. There are lots of gymnasts that have been doing this and if it would be very bad for your spine, I think there would be a general warning for this exercise (which I've never seen).

@Musicfreako2468 Nice, but why did you watch a tutorial about a bridge then :P Just wondering.

i can only do the one that you bend backwards and do xxD

@missglamgirlzxoxo What about bending yourself over a bench or a chair? So you will stand with your feet next to each other and then bent backwards over an elevated object. You can start with a high object and then decrease the hight of the object. Do this until you can do any of these exercises featured in my video. Let me know if that works, otherwise I'll think of another solution.

[missglamgirlzxoxo]

I can't do all of that

@StevenSWM Haha, yeah!
