![]() Bridges Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Cross your arms over your chest, push your heels into the ground and lift your pelvis as high as you can. Hold for 5-10 seconds. Perform 10 repetitions and focus on using your glutes more than your hamstrings. Helicopter Lunge Hold your arms out in front of you with your elbows locked. Step into a lunge position and prevent your front knee from going over your toes. Line up your feet as if you were on a tightrope. Rotate your upper body for 15 seconds and keep your head facing forward. Make sure your weight stays centered over your front foot. Repeat on the other side. Side Planks Lie on your right side with your feet on top of each other and your right elbow under your left shoulder. Slowly lift your hips until your spine makes a straight plank. Do not lean back. Hold for 15 seconds and return to the ground. Increase the time as you get stronger. Repeat on the other side. Stork Turns Stand on your right leg and get into a stable golf posture. Secure your left foot behind your right knee. Keep your shoulders still and rotate your hips while maintaining your balance. If this is too difficult, hold onto a stable platform until your balance improves. Do 15 repetitions and repeat on your left leg. SG Mike Hansen is based in Irvine.
