iPod Video
Shoulder Bridge Abduction is a variation on the original Pilates exercise Shoulder Bridge. This version abducts the leg at the top of the movement to challenge the core stabilizers of the body as well the hip extensors. It is very important to maintain perfect control over pelvic and knee alignment and only abduct the extended leg as far as you can maintain this control. You’ll flatten your abdominal muscles, increase core strength and tone the buttocks and tops of the backs of the thighs!
