Bridging is a great exercise to improve hip and trunk extension strength. This is the basic bridge and should be initiated by simply lifting the hips up and returning to rest position. If no pain is experienced and a full bridge can be attained then repeat at a steady pace of one lift per second until fatigue is experienced in the buttocks, or you are unable to continue at the same pace and height, or if pain is experienced. Count how many repetitions are performed and if you exceed 30 then you can attempt a progression.
