Benefits
The floor bridge hold is an excellent core-strengthening exercise.

Starting position
In a prone position (face down), position yourself on the tips of your toes and elbows so that your body is in a straight line from your head to your feet. Keep your body flat and parallel to the floor; do not let your lower back arch or your stomach sag. Engage your abs and your lower back muscles to hold the position.

Exercise
1. The purpose of the floor bridge is to hold the position for about 45 to 60 seconds while maintaining the form. When your abs and lower back muscles begin to shake, keep holding the position. When you max out, lower yourself slowly down to the floor and relax your core.
