The floor bridge is the easiest core exercise, but it allows you to get used to keeping your core drawn in and glutes contracted. Make sure you feel your glutes burning. If your hamstrings start to cramp you need to stretch them.
Lie flat on the floor on your back. Bring your feet close to your glutes. Raise your hips as high as you can. Keep core drawn in as well as your glutes contracted. Make sure you keep your back straight during the entire exercise. Hold until you fatique or break form.
Basic progressions:
One Leg Floor Bridge- Same as above, then lift one of your feet off the floor. NOTE: The closer you keep your one foot from the floor, the more difficult the demand on your core, glutes, and hamstrings.
Stability Ball Bridge (heels on top of ball)- Lie flat on the floor on your back. Place both heels on top of the ball and arms placed on either side of the body. Raise your hips until your spine is completely straight with your shoulder blades in full contact with the floor. Contract your glutes and hold for as long as you can.

    Mainly to help correct anterior pelvic tilt (if you have that problem) - it strengthens glute muscles. But if you do the one leg progression its better
