How to perform it

Use controlled form through a full range of motion, bracing your core throughout.

Muscles worked

The Side Bridge primarily targets your Abdominals, with support from your Shoulders. You'll need body only.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Side Bridge slots into a plan built for your goal — sets, reps and progression auto-suggested, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly review that adapts what comes next.
